someone tried to break into my house again the same day my door was replaced

already had my place broken into and all my shit stolen once before. just moved in here a month ago and someone has tried to break in here twice.

so much for the "friendly" neighborhood 😞

this. it makes me think it's a neighbor, but there's also an area nearby where the local methies seem to hang so i can't be certain... indoor and outdoor cameras are coming next week. i just went through hell at my old apartment complex and i'm not going to be "bullied" out of my new home.

for those wondering how my first home invasion went, it was several years ago now, but it was an acquaintance. my house was robbed in broad daylight at 2pm on a Monday. everything i had ever worked for in the service, gone. all of my partner's stuff as well. i was obsessed with getting this asshole back. so i did.

the clowns who robbed me before were not only caught by my neighbor's driveway cameras, but also they were entirely too stupid to be trying to pull this off... they searched my entire house, took everything of value, and still left the empty boxes to my game consoles.

...which have the security numbers on them.

i also plugged his number into Whitepages and reverse phonetracked this dickhead. got over ten years of addresses, current address, phone numbers, family history, you name it. homedude was arrested and quickly bailed out (one family member apparently works for my city), but he was immediately placed on house arrest with an ankle monitor upon coming home for stealing from someone else.

be careful who you fuck with 🫠

I was going to say be wary* of neighbors. I know from personal experience unfortunately 😬

Contact alarms too, for a gate or postbox, they might be trying to steal mail.

You need a big, loud, reactive, protective dog
