Someone broke into mine over Christmas break. I left her at home because My dad was in the area and picked me up.

They didn't take anything though. Must not have noticed the $300 in tools or $400 plus in camping equipment?

10 TIMES?!?! and you just didn't want to pay for an alarm? if it was that frequent i would buy the alarm just so i knew they were out there, then go out and take some names and kick some @$$!
