Yes, with your little ones around, I'm sure you would have felt rather upset at the whole ordeal..Fortunately, we are all adults and one teen in the house and God was watching over our safety, but it's still rather scary to think of what might have happened. Indeed people are able to do crazy things out of desperation and fight-or-flight adrenaline!

Thanks for introducing these self-monitoring security systems to me. I'll have to ask my husband to check those out. Hopefully they have solid models here in Germany too.. Yes we really need to be more proactive to safeguard against future similar events!
