Security

One should be able to feel safe in their own home, right? Well last night, I was not. Jeff and I went away for a wonderful weekend the next town over from Friday till Sunday afternoon. Heard nothing from the family back here in our home town, so, no news is good news, right? Well, we got home to find the garage light on. You might thing, so what? Well I turned off every possible electrical item before we left as only the cat would be home. I even turned off the surge protector for everything in the living room. I had closed all the doors possible except for the cats bathroom. I had pulled all the blinds too. After we got inside, something just didn't feel right. I went upstairs. All the doors were still closed. Went in to the boys' room. Did a look around. Lo and behold, Jeff's two boys' Tae Kwon Do uniforms were missing. So what? There was TKD testing this weekend that both boys were not being allowed to participate in, by their father, because of poor grades. Typical sports thing too, right? Bad grades, no participation, right? Well, not in their mothers eyes. She doesn't care if we tell them no because of academics. You would think a parent would be more concerned about school, right? What had happened, as soon as Jeff dropped the boys off at their mothers house, their step father asked Steven if he had a house key, which since he had his backpack with with homework in, he did. His step father then said that his sister was going to bring him back here, knowing Jeff and I were gone, and never calling to find out why they weren't able to test or even to ask if someone could bring him over to get their TKD stuff. As part of the punishment, the keys are to be taken away, as we can no longer trust the boys. When we went into Steven's backpack last night, the keys are gone. Even checked his jacket, not there. All night I could not sleep knowing that there was a good possibility that someone over in that other house has our house keys and could easily get into OUR house. What happened to trust? What happened to Security? Is this world so corrupt that we can not even be safe in our own homes, in the town you grew up in? Because of this, it seriously wants me to move away, to somewhere where that other household cannot have so much caniving control on what happens here. The police do nothing, it is considered a parental issue. Will the landlord change the locks on the house? How long do I go without sleep?
