How safe do you feel in your own home?

Yes, and I feel like what I've said is out of context; it would be unfair for me to say that it was 'not my fault' ...'cause who knows if I said or did something during the terribly unpleasant process of ending communications between us (in which I played an equal part) that came out wrong or, yes, that I said in the heat of the moment. There's a lot of water under the bridge and I'd *never* say that I'm without blame. I think about what I might have done better now and then, too.

Anyhow, I apologize for bringing it up.

Oversharing.

One thing, though. PriusGuy04, it sounds like you're involved with law enforcement...this is a stupid question, but, might I ask, do you have a feeling for how long investigations of this sort remain active? The more I think about it, after the initial flurry of statements, people taking pictures, etc. and then submitting receipts for the repair work (to be put into the case file I was told), I've been (until now) doing my best to *not* think about it...and have neglected to follow up (if that's even what I'm supposed to do.)...?

I assume they'd contact me if they needed to...? I haven't messed up the whole thing by bringing it up in public, have I...?

Oh my gosh, now I'm really worried and feeling really uninformed.

I used to get up at 3am or 4 am, put on my clothes and go out in the back alley and ask the driver if he'd like me to knock on the door for him. Just tell me which apartment.

"Huh?"

"Well, it's not just your friend that hears your honking. We all do. And there's a baby sleeping in the next apartment building. Your car horn is not a door bell. Tell your friend to buy an alarm clock and be standing out here waiting for you."

"Oh, uh, okay."

Sometimes it was stupid, lazy guys honking to WAKE UP their car pool buddies because the buddies used their friends car horns as alarm clocks. Five min. of honking at 5 am? Get real.

Sometimes it was drug addicts who didn't know which apartment the dealer lived in. They're the last ones that want to draw attention to themselves. Duh.

BTW....they don't honk any more. Some crazy lady will come out half dressed and lecture you on courtesy and deportment.
