Here are some quotes from the victim….

 

”Last night, at around 10:00 PM, my husband and I were getting ready for bed when we heard someone trying to break into our home. We went to check it out, and found that the door was unlocked. We called the police, and they arrived a few minutes later. They searched the house and didn’t find anyone, but they’re still investigating. In the meantime, we just need to be careful and stay vigilant. We’ve lived in this house for over twenty years and never had any problems.

The only time anyone ever tried to break into our home was when we first moved in, about ten years ago. It was the summer, and we’d just gone out of town for a few days. When we got home, we found that someone had broken into our house while we were gone. We called the police, but they told us it wasn’t their problem because we didn’t have all of our security measures in place. ”

”Thankfully, no one was hurt during this incident. We’re just glad that our home wasn’t broken into. The whole thing is really upsetting, and we hope whoever broke in had nothing to do with it.” Signs of attempted break in can be marks or scratches on the handle or lock, so keep an eye out for these.

I say yes of course, you never know what the police may find, sometimes finger prints or even foot prints.
