Terrified of someone breaking in my home when I’m not there. First time living alone
First time living alone at 27. I work long hours and I’m scared of someone breaking into my house when I’m at work and my dog is home alone by himself and gets injured, killed, or runs away.
I’m not that afraid of a home invasion while I’m home because I feel like people wouldn’t want to cause trouble like that in the suburbs. But if I’m not home maybe they want to rob my home or steal my dog.
I will have cameras inside and outside with motion detection but I haven’t even moved in yet and I’m really starting to feel paranoid and scared and alone. I don’t really have a choice. I don’t live in a bad town, but I’m not familiar with this specific neighborhood.
My main fear is my dog getting hurt or something. I know this is probably irrational but the house has a lot of windows all around.
