I came home in the early afternoon last May to find my kitchen window broken in and our house robbed.  Beyond the usual trauma, we were fortunate that the Clackamas Sheriff officers that responded to our call took the time to take fingerprints off the window.  We never expected that the burglars would be found, but they were - it ended up being two kids.  They both went to court and spent time in detention or in jail.  Now we have an alarm in our house.  Our only consolation was that they didn't get anything worth money (taking an old laptop and a camera with no charger) and had to answer for their actions.
