1 - How did these 'unknown' persons know she was not at home?
2 - Can you up level the security if you rent?
3 - If you are traveling somewhere you can't possess, how can you re-arm before entering?
4 - Security / Camera system may have alerted her sooner than just getting home
5 - Friend/family to check on place, BUT go back to #1. Could they be the leak that let the bad actors in.

Call me paranoid, I always, ALWAYS come in the door ready to greet an uninvited guest. Even if I happened to be unarmed. I live too close to too many drug abusers and homeless not to

Gone for 1 week?

And they say that the homeless lack motivation. I couldn't pack up and move my kitchen stuff in one week, much less an entire apartment. Very industrious little creatures.

Same goes for going outside to the car or truck

Seemed like a clear cut case of self defense that was wasted.

Speaking of paranoia, I asked the librarian if books about paranoia were available. She looked up and whispered, "They're right behind you".

Crank is hellofa drug.

As for the criminal squatters, they're still at large after they promised they were going to do the same thing to another homeowner.

Until the right someone shoots them.

Again another example of why everyone should have some kind of alarm system. They are cheap now. If she had one she could have known as soon as they first got in and called someone.

Self install alarms are cheap and easy to setup. The monthly monitoring fees aren't that bad either. Same with web connected cameras like Wyze.

They are so damn cheap and a lot do not require subscriptions. They will instantly alert you and if you don't live in a crappy area, the cops will take care of them before they can settle in

That's not paranoid. It's paying attention and being prepared. I never leave the house unarmed, ergo I return armed.

People talk and post. Look at me. I'm two states away at Disneyland! I say post and talk about your trip when you get back. Let a trusted person you know check your house while you're gone.

Capt. Obvious, for sure but some people still don't get it. I just spent 4 days away and I was a little paranoid. It's funny, we have a few little neighborhood kids. Whatcha doing? They maybe innocent but love to say what they know.

I have found that befriending the neighborhood kids in a genuine way can be very valuable.

But eh, god loves squatters, just ask Israel.

Yeah and if it bothers you, you should probably find somewhere to live that wasn't taken by conquest.

Today it's just let's kick our neighbors out of their homes, we need the space. And have the nerve to use religion as the basis for their theft and violence.

While emotion and prejudice are clearly on your side, history and archeological evidence are not.

Humans have been fighting over territory and land as long as there's been humans. It's just amusing that some people find it trendy to single out Israel and the US and now Russia.

 

[Certaindeaf]

The laws need to be changed to offer fewer protections to squatters and more to the legit residents.

But eh, god loves squatters, just ask Israel.

Slamming on Jews?

This is why I like dogs.
If we take the dogs with us on a trip, when we get home, the dogs go in first. If we left the dogs home and they're not greeting us at the door. dear wife has phone ready to call 911 as I go in, at low ready.
