When crazy ppl set their sights on you it's important to keep your guard up! Never underestimate them and always have a plan. We hadn't lived here very long so we didn't know alot of ppl and our house was the only one on the street. There were two houses behind us facing the opposite direction and the police department. The only time anything happened was when my husband was work and it was dark outside. Someone would come knocking but I don't answer my door for ANYONE if they don't call/text me first. My husband took a two week vacation, nothing but the 1st day he went back it happened again. Long story short I shot him when he kicked my door in. Come to find out he was living in a boarding house across the highway and his window had a view of our driveway so that's how he knew when to strike. We installed cameras that covered every inch of our house and yard.
