So I got home from a quick trip out to get stuff and found my house alarm going off. The back door had been kicked in. The front door held, tho it's cracked, the garage door took a shot and held. Appears the back door took 4 or more kicks before the door finally failed. The alarm went off when the door opened. Looks like no one entered, they must have beat feet when the alarm went off. Nothing was taken, cats were fine. I called 911 and then cleared the house with the .357 while waiting on the cops. Cops got here quick enough once called. The alarm was unmonitored, but that'll change.

Lessons learned:

Alarms work.
3 inch screws hold door casings together.
Buy better doors next time around.

If the back door hadn't literally broken from the repeated kicks, I don't think anyone would have been able to get in.

Methinks I am hiding my truck in the garage for a bit while I am home alone and see what happens.
