AoD#8: Evaluation of Our Security

Art of Democracy

A long while ago, my family and I assessed our security after a break in.

I was home alone when the door was broken in etc., etc. and, needless to say, was quite frightened with the whole ordeal. I recounted the events for the officer and my family and we soon went about examining our now broken, but still relatively function, door. We found that our security was not as tight as we had believed: our deadbolt had been null against the invaders. Moreover, since we expanded out house, we have found no need to reinstall the alarm system. Until recently, we went without it.

Now, after much public discussion and debate, we have installed an alarm system, removed ourselves from the newpapers' delivery listing (for the newspaper had most likely signified our house as vacant after my brother drove off), and are still in debate about purchasing a gun.

We are still in discussion over the effects of the paranoia from this and other, recent events that have kept us awake long into the night.
