A week ago our house was burglarized. I bring this up because there's a
certain unpleasant trend to it that ties in with the subject matter of

The back of our property (through which the intruders came and went,
judging from tracks, etc.) borders on a Catholic high school. They, of
course, saw nothing, though the intruders came in around 9:30 am and
stayed for several hours at least.
I'll leave it up to the more realistic of you, the more paranoid of you,
or any combination thereof, to make note of the pattern involved here . . .
At any rate, finally I can sit back and answer some mail. I hope all
are well. We, though a bit shell-shocked and paranoid, are all doing

rottweiler, or mastif to our collection . . .

What was taken: What was NOT taken:
In addition, they cut the telephone line for the BBS, but left intact the
other phone line, two inches away. They also pulled wires out of the BBS
computer, but didn't mess with the other computers at all. Though I was
able to send mail again within an hour after the discovery of this all (I
used to work for AT&T after all, and computer cables are simple to replace),
I've been busy this last week putting up security doors, motion sensors,
getting fence quotes, rekeying nine sets of locks (we have three entrances
to this place), etc., ad infinitum, it seems.
