Make it look like a quilt display. Smile


Haha, that's what I do. One time my mom's house was broken into and rifled. She had rifles under her blankets...no one ever paws through an old womans blankets.

OK, so...
I'm single, work 40-70+ hours weekly on rotating shifts, with possibility of unplanned OT, so no dog as I don't feel it would be fair to the animal. I honestly didn't want the safe as this is not where I plan to stay and I was content with back of the closet storage. It was gifted to me., so... This not being a permanent residence, I can't modify closets/walls etc. The post about using a garment storage thing is what inspired this all, but people are gonna question clothes in the garage. Also, already a fridge in garage for beverages. Two would be suspect, no?
I was thinking of roughing out a 3 sided wooden cabinet using cheap/scrap lumber. Looks like a storage cabinet in garage. Best I can come up with.


A Perpetual Disappointment...

You never know.

The parents of a girl I lived with off and on had their apartment burgled (is that even a word, doesn't look right) right before Christmas in about 2002. They took all the presents and the old school, rear projection big screen TV of course. But they also took her mother's shoes. You gotta understand, this woman did not have 'good' shoes. At all. And her dad told me they reached right past a baseball signed by the entire NY Yankees from like, the 1920's or 30's or something. It wasn't '27, I don't think it was quite that valuable. And I'm pretty sure there was a real mink coat hanging in that same closet too.

But they got the shoes.

As I said, you never know.

Burglars have eclectic tastes. I have investigated residential burglaries where these items were taken:
Albums of nekkid photos of the victims.
Underwear. Both male and female.
Food from the fridge. Including frozen food.
A tricycle.
Bed linens.
Towels.
Large TVs.
Kitchen cutlery
Pots and pans.
Microwave ovens.
Toasters.
Pets, including lizards and snakes.
At first I thought some victims were padding the report for an increased insurance payout. But on follow up, I learned the victims did not file a claim.
Also, I investigated several where the burglar took a shower, took a nap or ate a meal he fixed in the victims kitchen.
In short, if you own it, there is probably some asshole out there who will steal it from you.

I keep hoping someone will steal the pile of zucchini in my kitchen. So far no joy.
