I just discovered a break-in & theft in my home, and am in shock.
I went downstairs to retrieve some laundry, as I want good clothes for a doctor's appointment. I then discovered about half the magazines on a nearby shelf missing ! A bottle was also found on the floor, which I (me) would never have left there. Magazines on another shelf were also disarranged and some probably stolen ! I know the issue #s. They could have easily come upstairs and .sorry I do not want to think about it !
The back door of the garage was disturbed, as well. To get in, they had to dislodge a stack of ladders against the back door of the garage, and that caused quite a crash. What bothers me is that I did not hear the crash of those ladders. I am quite hard of hearing...
I will call the police tomorrow, and plan to put the house up for sale and move. This may sound drastic, BUT I am a senior citizen and live alone, and am very hard of hearing ,using a hearing aide when awoke, and it was night when they broke in.
It's time for me to move to an apartment and maybe later, to assisted living. The only trouble is - how to do it. I have never moved on my own, or sold a house and both times it was my folks, when i was younger, who did all the work. Now they are passed on. I need advice, help, detailed written instructions. I do not want to make major mistakes and mess up.
This involves contacting an agency (several offers to choose from),repairs if needed, selling the house, finding a new address, a possible yard sale, moving, address and phone number changes, Finding rental ,etc. getting mail to my old address forwarded by the post office, etc.,possibly an unlisted number... and not necessarily in that order. Proximity to the main bus route is no longer a factor, as I recently retired...
The neighborhood is not as safe as it used to be, a mugging having taken place a block away from my home, and a murder-suicide about 3 blocks away. I've toyed with this drastic idea on & off for a good time, but now ...
A major theft at my family's upstate home (door bashed open, a window smashed, 11 fires set in attempts of illumination and possibly to burn the house down, magazines stolen, etc.,) was a factor in selling the place, as my mother never felt right about the property ever since (sold in late 2003). As I said, I no longer feel right about THIS suburban home now.
