Copy and pasting this from Demi:
"I can't catch a fucking break.
Last night, at 4:30am someone came up to our door and was profusely ringing the doorbell. Then he would stop. Then go at it again. The second time, we woke up and flipped the lights on and got together in the living room and got the dogs making noise. He didn't go away, but I was on the phone with dispatch and within ten minutes, the cops were there. They did a walk around the house, but the cop told us we were probably freaked out and being a little over dramatic and it was probably someone drunk playing doorbell ditch. Regardless we were a bit freaked out and went to my moms hotel for the night. We were gone from 5:15am-9am, and in that time someone broke in and stole everything of value, except my laptop because it was in one of the back rooms. I called 911 again, and then after 25 minutes of no one showin up, called back a second time and after about 45 minutes someone arrived. Based on the information, the cop believes we were targeted a while in advance and them messing with us was a scare tactic to try and get us to leave (which worked, obviously.) But the cop also doesn't believe that not leaving would have prevented the situation from happening. I don't know where to go from here. The things are replaceable and everything, but he stole my confidence, security, and pride. The cop and everyone we talk to don't believe it will be an isolated incident, and with talking to the landlord, he revealed that the neighborhood we moved into did have criminal activity and that it was not the first time the house had been invaded. The police recommended we either nail the windows and other entrances shut minus the doors, or we move out. But after talking with him further and him telling us that he didn't believe this was a safe neighborhood for "two young girls", we decided it was best to move. But we had no place to go until we received a good offer (that unfortunately is across the country and needing to be done in the next two days.)
I know it may seem silly, but even if we were to bunker down and suck it up with the knowledge that it will probably happen again, we are still left now in a financial situation we wouldn't be able to arise from. It's incredibly hard to swallow my pride and kiss EVERYTHING goodbye that I worked for so hard in the past 11 months. 2013 has been incredibly rough and shitty and hard, and this was enough to finally force me to give up. I hate that I'm even GIVING UP, but even if I pulled through it emotionally, I am at my physical end too."
