Not Safe

Well yesterday while my brother was home, a man kicked down our door and held him up with a screw driver. My brother turned into a salesman, taking the guy around the house and tring to find something to him to take and go. In the end he forced my brother to give him the keys to my step dad's 2 year old VW Transporter van and drove of in it. What the **** is wrong with the world, you can't even sit at home without worrying about someone breaking in. I'm just glad that my brother wasn't hurt. On the up side, however, the man was fairly nice. He let my brother put our two jack russlle puppies into a room so they wouldn't run out the door. At one point he was going to take my brothers computer, but when my brother told him that he was a graphic designer and all his work was on the hard drive the guy decided not to take it. Before taking the car he also asked if it was insured, maybe he wouldn't have taken it if it wasn't. So I spose the world isn't that bad. You may be held up, but at least the criminal will be fairly nice about it all. Mind you, I said he was nice but only in the sence that he didn't take my brothers comp and let the dogs be put away. Apart from that he was aggressive and gave my brother the feeling that he would definitly stab him if he needed to. The whole incident has made me think a lot more about security. Maybe we should look our security door even when we are home so the main door can't be kicked in. I just hate having to do crap like that though. You should be able to feel ****ing safe in your own home. You should be able to leave doors wide open. Oh well, I spose we still have it a lot better than most places in the world.
