Bummer.
you should report it to the police, in case it's been a repeated offence in your area they could do an investigation of some sort.
Unlucky.As a pub near our house
I would be paranoid, someone breaks my window I would take that as they were testing (response time, cops, my own) etc.
I would set booty traps in your house tonight before bed.
Not likely. I work with Ex-cons. They would not break a window to check response time as doing so only attracts the authorities and puts the owner into vigilance mode. If they were going to do it:
1.) They would have to know that it was worth it.
2.) They would want to know when the owner is out and would get it done as fast as possible not just smash a window and return the next day.
Likely a drunk or accidental. Thieves would not break a window and run.
You are assuming I am referring to burglary. Bust a window you see what the home owner comes to investigate, if the show up with a tennis racket, you know thats the best they got. Wait a month, two.... and bam.
If they don't wake up you know they are heavy sleepers.
Besides, even if it were, a busted window and nothing stolen doesn't mean it has to be that same house, they were testing, if it takes the cops 20 mins. the guy across the street would take the same amount of time, maybe someone else on the block.
A broken window that seems accidental is NOT going to be the talk of the neighborhood.
