And one of those 18 burglaries was at my house in June but it was a strange deal involving an ex-boyfriend of a neighbor...
By the time I accepted the possibility I had been burgalized (v. simply misplaced the items since I had just moved), he had already left the state. I questioned my neighbors after I filed the police report and 2 different neighbors revealed that they had seen him emerge from my side yard one evening. Thought it was odd because my Jeep was gone, but didn't think much else about it until I asked if anyone ha "seen anything" suspicious.

I am thankful he didn't spend much time "thievin' " because the 3 things taken were items were openly set on dressors or tables.
Had he "had more time", he may have learned I had better stuff to steal

Even still... small-town Arizona is a great place to be
