I'm sorry that your family had to suffer this problem and I'm glad that everything is generally okay. Remember that events like this are the exception to the norm (which is why it shakes us so) -- meaning that most people really are good.

Can I add to the chorus - what a horrible thing to happen - I'm so glad she wasn't hurt. Things just ain't what they used to be. Even on our small island I wouldn't leave my doors unlocked anymore:-(

It's depressing not to feel safe in your own home . Thank goodness your Mom was out at the time!

Oh no. I'm glad no one was hurt but I'm very sorry that the safe at home feeling has been violated.

I am sorry. Hang in there.

The worst part, of course, is that sense of violation. I'm glad, though, that nobody was hurt and hope that you're able to have a good Thanksgiving despite it.

I am so sorry about the intrusion. It's horrible. But I am happy that your mother and her dog are fine.

That is terrible! I'm glad your Mother is okay and she had the dog with her.

Not a great way to start the holidays, but at least everyone is ok. Hang in there and Happy Thanksgiving.

Oh no. That really sucks. Redundant with what the other posters said, but I had to say I'm really sorry for you and your family.

I've had a bag stolen before, and it feels really awful. I hope your mom has recovered from the shock. Hopefully your holiday was enjoyable.
