A guide to feeling safe in Regina

Well, there really isn't a guide to feeling safe in Regina, however after last weekend Jamie and I have made steps into trying to feel a little more secure in Regina. We just recently moved into a new neighbourhood a few weeks ago and thought that it seemed like a really nice, quiet, safe area. It all changed on Friday night. Jamie and I had gone to bed at around 11:00, like old people married people do. At around 11:30 Jamie woke up thinking that someone was at the door. I quickly assumed she was wrong and told her just to go back to sleep. The dog was barking and I thought that it must have just been the cats or something similar that set the dog off. To make Jamie feel better I got Miki (our dog) to quiet down and we couldn't hear anything at the door. I got up to use the washroom and when I got back to the bedroom Jamie was WIDE awake. She was quick to tell me that there had to be people in the backyard because we could see what looked like flashlights shinning through our window. I took a look out the window to see what was up and saw 2 people searching our back yard with flashlights looking at all the windows and door. After some thought and a phone call to Jamie's Mom we decided to call the City police. We were informed that there had been several break-ins in our area that night and it would be to cops looking around. SO case solved....they were cops in our backyard. You can assume that the rest of the night was quiet sleepless. We now have an alarm system hooked up in the house and feel much safer.

We are glad that we never waited until we ourselves got broke into before taking action to secure our house. Now with both the dog and the alarm...good luck trying to break in.......I HOPE!
