our mailbox has been marked 2 times in the last 3 days with a black "X" on the door. We were advised that this meant an imminent robbery. Each time I have cleaned it off. The police were notified of both occasions.
Please send good vibes and prayers. Pray that this happens when no one is home and if we are home... Pray that my aim and my shots hit center mass and take down the perp... We are all Scared shitless.
and to the **** that disagrees with my posts. This is serious. Please just pass this by. My one simple request of you, just be a decent human for once and respect this. Thanks.

Hopefully whoever is doing that is just as a prank and nothing serious happens. Whoever is doing it has some balls. Good luck man!
Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!
Oh when the Blues, Oh when the Blues, Oh when the Blues go marching in!
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
We found that list of markings and their meanings last night. That's my game plan. Then also marking the 'keyholes in the D' for too risky.... My wife and I ran drills on how to handle a break in before we went to bed. Whoever breaks in will be in for a nasty surprise.
Those should deter most people.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
And put a "special forces" or "Honorary Sherrif Deputy" decal on your front door. LOL!
If they still break in, they deserve to be shot.

IF YOU BREAK IN HERE, NO ONE WILL FIND THE BODY.

That said, I am still praying on your behalf, just trying to instill a little calm rational thinking.

definitely strange though.
you don't have to upgrade your home to fort knox.....just make it less appealing to thieves than your neighbors houses.
some great ideas here on how to improve/upgrade your security:

but a couple quick and easy ideas in the meantime:
get some motion flood lights install them near on every corner of your house. i have 2 of these for our backyard and they work great. easy to install, bright, and good battery life.
get a real security alarm and add the monitoring service if you can afford it.
i know the systems can get pricey so if that's out of the question, at the very least get some "security alarm" signs/stickers and put them near your front and back doors.
get a dog. seriously.
every house (about 10 total) on our old block was broken into in the span of about 2 weeks. the only one that wasn't broken into? ours. the only one that had a dog? ours. even the police officers suggested that our dog scared them off and was the only reason our house wasn't broken into.

I really hope we are overthinking this. Too many things point to something to be concerned about.
Although I'm not 1 to believe that a person has to have extensive training, I believe a person should know how to handle firearms safely and practice. If your not fully prepared to shoot someone without hesitation you have no business drawing the weapon, or even having it for protection in my opinion.
If cannot afford training or not available in your area ask a LEO or veteran for help. Most LEO are big 2nd amendment supporters and will most likely be happy to help. Firearm safety is common sense, but common sense isn't so common these days. Some owners have bad habits. There is also tons of videos of instructors going over basics online.. You not only need to practice shooting, it's also important to practice drawing the weapon and going through what could happen
i'm sure we could give you better suggestions if we had an idea of what your house/ surroundings looked like.

Too add, you need to know who you're shooting at before you shoot, especially since you're not alone. Good luck with this but I would put up a real camera to catch who is actually doing it and when. Erase it again, call in sick, and then wait for them to show up.
As for gun experience... I'm proficient with most guns (pistol, rifle, shotgun, revolvers) from .22 up to .50cal. I've had quite a bit of experience firing, loading, unloading, disassembling and reassembling.
Most st of the measures I've taken are to make sure my wife is comfortable. I don't need her being anxious or scared to be home. I'm sure all this will be enough to calm her down.
Strangely, before reading this post a young woman knocked at my door and left a "Dish network" flyer. One week ago, a male came to my door and wanted to talk about switching my electric provider. I informed him while I appreciate his company's efforts, I don't make decisions to do business on my doorstep and to leave me a website, so I could do more research. But, after reading your post I'm realizing that summer time brings out a lot of idle hands from people with bad intentions. I actually have a "do not trespass" sign on the door and on property borders, guess I'll have to inform the solicitors that they should respect the postings.
