I have lived in Sandy for the past four years and have always felt safe and secure. Last week I went to dinner with some friends and went to my friend's house to visit until 11:30pm. When I tried to get into my condo the lock would not accept the key. At first I thought it was too cold and the lock was frozen. I got my phone out to get some light and get a closer look. When I looked at the lock up close I realized the door knob had been tampered with. The knob had been shifted off it's original position and right there and then I started freaking out. It didn't help that I had to use the restroom either. I called and called and called my parents. No one picked up. I drove to a market to use the restroom and meanwhile I continued to call my parents. They were asleep and nothing was going to wake them, I thought. I called a friend and she reassured me that I shouldn't go back to my place. I didn't. I called my parents again and my mom answered. I slept over at my parents' place and went to work the next day. My dad went over to my place to check things out. Indeed someone attempted to break in. The dead bolt must have saved me. My neighbor's door knob was also scratched and dislodged. My dad changed the knob and told me, "You've got to keep living. Don't worry." I wish I didn't have to worry. I have been watching CHUCK Seasons 1-3 recently. Chuck has a computer intersect in his head and can do Tae Kwon Do, numbchuck skills, etc. I need those skills. I hope I never have to come face to face with someone breaking in. I hope they were just trying an easy break in but had no success. The truth is...I do not have anything in my condo worth much. My tv, stereo, jewlery, etc. isn't worth even pawning.

Here's to my Chuck skills to help me if ever needed!!!

I'm so glad you're safe and nothing was stolen. Your dad's right about having to keep living, but I know sometimes it's scary. You're definitely being looked after.
YIKES! Be safe.
