Hopefully, you learned a valuable lesson, which is not to put your business out to others. If you intend to continue bragging that your husband is on "hard core narcotics," then you should expect to be robbed.
I have never bragged about my husbands health problems . I DO brag that despite the pain and difficulties that he is determined to remain his awesome authentic self.
Anyway, I was just curious. When you post things like this do you honestly believe the impact of it is not negative?
Vicky, you shouldn't have to defend yourself. You've been through a horrendous ordeal and you deserve kindness and understanding. My brother-in-law is autistic. Hugs
I'm so sorry you had to endure this. How scary! About the drugs, it's a safe bet if a bad person went into anybody's house and demanded they give them their drugs, most people could come up with something. Tell me who doesn't have something around...
I hope you have notified the insurance people and credit depts. and banks. That will get you safe again. (Maybe you said you did and I missed that?)
I wish you peace and safety from now on... and just ignore all those who are so mean-spirited they replied without caring.

Of course the impact of being robbed is negative. I didn't read all the posts, but if you mention to folks your husband is in pain or whatever and on narcotics, that information might get passed around to narcotic addicts, who will rob you to get a fix, or around to someone that wants to sell these drugs on the street.
There are certain things in life you want to keep private and discreet - your husband being on pain medication that is highly valued on the street is one of them.
It never fails to amaze me how crude and rude some posters can be.
This poor lady and her family were brutalized only yesterday and some people(?) here can't do anything but criticize, belittle, chastise, etc.
This woman is in shock. It is clear that some of you have never experienced that. If I had a gun pointed at me and my family, I would tell them everything they wanted to know, and then some.
Good grief people. I'm pretty sure there is a heart in your body. Use it.
Do you even know she suffers from a health issue that may hinder her from the quick thinking all of you proclaim to have??
This really unnerved me. I'm so sorry for your suffering!
Would it have helped if your address was not listed anywhere -- phone book, car registration, pharmacy, doctor's office, etc? Because this is usually possible, even if you have a mortgage on the property. Please consider this, particularly if you move away, which I think is a good idea.
Resolve to protect your privacy going forward. Do not get mail at your home, nor any UPS or FedEx parcels. No deliveries by pharmacy or groceries. It may inconvenience you a bit, but bullet-proof privacy has its advantages.
Sincere wishes for a swift recovery from this trauma! For the rest of the seniors on this board, try to put yourself in the OPs position. You may not be on any drugs at all, or nothing the addicts would want. But home invasions are a fact of life today. Please give some thought to your privacy. What passed as 'normal' years ago, may not be wise today. Stop your home address from becoming known to all.

It's probably best to move, better yet, move to a new town, so you aren't victims of future burglaries and robberies, since everyone knows you have your own private pharmacy, your home will be a constant target for anyone looking to "score."
Next time, you might not be so lucky.
When you move, you might want to keep your medical and healthcare issues private, you know, so you don't get robbed again.
What mean remarks. Just remember, what goes around, comes around.
Vicky, I am so sorry this happened to you and your family. There has been some helpful advice and I would like to add, if it's not a great imposition, getting your husband's medication on a daily basis and letting people know that, would decrease the chance of their coming again.
I know it would inconvenience me but...
You could also let it be known that your husband has improved and able to deal with the pain without narcotics. Yes, you would be lying but this is war now. US against drugs.
I hope you find comfort in the support you are getting from us cd folks.
So sorry you have had to experience this, Vicky. There is so much evil in the world. It is getting more and more difficult to avoid. Thankfully you and DH were not physically harmed. The emotional injuries will take longer to heal. Peace and comfort to you.
