On Thursday night, our cars were robbed in our driveway. More than $1,800 in radar detectors, GPS units, change cups, cell phone chargers and sunglasses were stolen. They were in and out quickly. Two Randall knives in the back of my Yukon were left untouched.

We live in a very safe, semi-rural area. When we bought the house in 2005, the former owners did not even have keys to the doors. I was stunned.

Unfortunately, the local police were not surprised. They said there have been a rash of such burglaries recently by teams coming out to the suburbs to hit soft targets. They said be careful because they may come back to hit you again after you replace the stolen items. I am still angry. I'm thinking about putting a trail camera outside to photograph anything that comes up the driveway.
