I'm going to get a gun somehow.
The teens and I were sitting here waiting for my sister to arrive so that we could all go see Avatar, when I saw one of the teen thugs who live across the street and have tried to break in my house before, walking toward my front door with a big, long, pointy thing, like a knife, to come break my door again.
Yes, the night they came in before, they thought the door was locked and they pried the door knob latch panel open, away from the door jam.
I know this because the next day the door wouldn't shut and when I looked at it, it had been pulled away so I had to screw it back into the door jam.
Anyway, I saw him coming so I ran to the window and opened the blinds up even more, he saw me and ran back across the street to his house.
I grabbed the phone and called the cops.
My sister showed up, I explained the cops were on the way to talk to me, so I couldn't go to the movies.
Plus, I'm not going to leave my house for 3-4 hours (they are going to Best Buy after the movie) and just leave it here for them to really break in and steal something this time.
So the teens are gone and I'm sitting here with the house all locked up tight, blinds open, and if one of those two thugs come back, they may get hit with a 2x4 before I ever even dial 911.
Rotten fuckers.
I swear, they ever try to get in my house again, one of them is going to end up fucking seriously hurt.

Where in the fuck are these little thugs' parents? I'm assuming that they are the sort who don't give a shit, who let their kids run wild all the time. It's such a big problem where we are, that they are talking about a possible teen curfew. But it won't stop the little thugs from being little thugs in the middle of the day, though.
I'm glad you're all okay. Do whatever you have to to stay safe.

Remember the way grandpa fixed the cellar door so that no one could get in. He made two holders big enough to fit a 2x4 into each side and nailed the holders to either side of the door and then slid the 2x4 through the holders and !!!!

Ugh. That totally sucks. My brother's shed was broken into and tools taken (he's a machinist) on Christmas night. I understand that there are plenty of people out of work and desperate but taking something that someone else worked hard to be able to afford is just terrible.
What did the police have to say? I hope that those kids get what's coming to them.
