Greetings Net,

I recently received an e-mail from one of our net members who wanted to share an incident that occurred within the week. The scenario borders on their family being a victim of a home invasion. They are counting their blessings and want to send out a simple reminder of caution to others. I have altered the info as to not disclose the identification of the family providing this info – – – and I thank them for sharing their story and caring enough to emphasize to others how important it is not to let your guard down. My thanks to Ms. “S” for the support of the net and those it reaches out to.

Hi Howard,

We thought we’d let you know about an incident that happened last Saturday night at our house. It was about 9:15 pm, we were in the back room watching t.v., waiting for our son to get home from visiting friends in Merritt Island. We heard doors open up in another part of the house and the dogs started to bark. We thought it was our son coming home.

We waited for him to come down the hallway but no one came. We left the room to investigate and soon heard the doors close. Our son was still not home.

We went out front to see if there was anyone out there but didn’t see anybody. Concerned, we called our son and he said he was still in Merritt Island. We immediately called the police. They quickly responded and walked around but, found nothing.

We normally keep the doors locked at ALL times but because we knew our son was going to be home any minute we unlocked them, not expecting someone to walk in!! Thank God the dogs barked and ran to the door!!!

Please remind everyone to keep their doors locked even if you are expecting someone any minute.
