roswell,
Sorry to hear about the break-in. Glad to hear your wife is OK. Nothing more unsettling than having strangers in your house. I've had my garage broken into before, but never my house. Tough economy will only make thieves more common and more bold. I hate to imagine it getting any worse. I don't have any new advice over what has already been mentioned. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and your family.
