We've Been Robbed! September 24, 2004 12:43 AM   Subscribe  So
we were burglarized sometime today while we were at work. My
wife came home and found the front door open and the rooms
completely tossed, just like in the movies. In some ways we're
counting ourselves lucky, because they only took two cameras, a
couple bottles of vodka, and our fire safe. On the other hand,
the safe contained basically everything about us- our passports,
our Social Security cards, marriage certificate, titles to the
condo and car, photocopies of our credit cards(in case the
originals were stolen, natch), bank account info, etc. Two
questions: 1) are we fucked? 2) burglar alarm systems...yea or
nay? [mi]  I just spent the last 5 hours or so changing all the
locks in my condo, adding a new heavy deadbolt to the wooden
gate at the top of the back steps that open onto our back porch,
and adding two new heavy-duty window locks to the kitchen window
that the bastards used to climb in through, as well as a
homemade improvised window jam
