You're late putting up your Christmas lights and you also shut off the power to your house so you can do some rewiring for two days. And your mail slot is filled with Christmas cards and money to pay your light bill. (Now I have to find out who dropped off the money and explain that I was just doing electrical work.)
@ FreeMan - That happened to me once. Apparently I didn't pull the door all the way shut and a neighbor noticed when they drove by. They asked around for my cell number and called to ask if I wanted them to look around to make sure no one was in my house. After they looked around, they just made sure the door was locked and closed the door.
(Now, if this happened where my rentals were - it would be a whole other story.).
@ brohammas - I got my car stereo jacked once while parked off Melrose in broad daylight. That has to be the worst feeling. (But at least the only broke one of the smaller (and cheaper to replace) windows to gain access.)
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

You know when you have Bad neighbors when your door is wide open when you come back!
Funny you say that... someone broke into my van within 5 hours of my returning from a trip last week.
