Sorry to hear about this incident, when Christmas time is near some people were resorting to robbery, these were lazy people who wants easy money.
I can relate to your experience since last weekend some burglars was trying to robbed our home and 2 of neighbors' ( same day and almost at the same time). We called the police and have our place checked. So that made us more careful and checked our doors and windows if it's properly locked. That terrible incident gave me a fright so I can't sleep alone now in my room, I moved in to my sister's room.
Glad that you're ok.
