Thank you to everyone who commented about my lock and key issue yesterday. In the comments Teddy Rose said "do not pass go, do not stop to collect $200, do not blog, get the locks changed now, as in yesterday!"
I'm telling you, I could do with that $200 right about now. Today I took the day off at work, and the locksmith came and changed every lock in the house that could be changed, as well as adding one to the garage door. So, several hour and $600 later, we are feeling a little more secure.
I may have to replace two screen doors and maybe look at some kind of security system, but for now, anyone using the old keys won't be able to get into the house at all, and that is the main thing.
That's great Marg, as least you cann sleep soundly now!
ReplyDeleteExcellent news Marg! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Have any of your neighbors had any problems?
ReplyDeleteGood for you for taking measures to protect yourself. I think feeling safe in your home is so important, and I hope you can rest easier now.
ReplyDeletePainful to the wallet but a very good decision all the same. I'll be sleeping easier myself now. :)
ReplyDeleteThank goodness...I'm glad you heeded Teddy's advice. That is scary!
ReplyDeleteTeddy was right and you are a smart woman to act so quickly. Let's hope that is the end of that and you can relax now.
ReplyDeleteHow scary Marg! I am glad you were able to get the locks changed so you could nip that little criminal in the bud. If you can't feel safe in your own home, where can you feel safe?
ReplyDeleteI hope the rest of your week goes well--
*smiles and hugs to you*

Glad that you did this, and hopefully this will be the last issue you have with those doors!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been so scary - peace of mind is definitely worth $600!
ReplyDeleteGOODNESS .... $600 is a lot of moolah. So sorry about the drama! Hopefully things will be safe now.
ReplyDeleteAs others have said, peace of mind is definitely worth $600! It's still a large smack of money, but at least you can sleep and feel safe(r) now!
ReplyDeleteOuch on the pocketbook but thank goodness you got those changed. Peace of mind is well worth that.
ReplyDeleteThank goodnes. Money well spent!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that it cost so much but you can't put a price on you, Marg. Locks are replaceable but you aren't!
ReplyDeleteI kind of wonder if it was a homeless person just going in for a snooze? Hmm..
I don't know about there but here you can get a free monitored security system if you sigh up for so many years of monitoring. Usually 2-3 years. It's about $30 per month.
That whole thing is so scary! I hope it doesn't happen again.
ReplyDeleteOh good to hear!!
