@preclude Sorry this happened to you, and glad you scared him away. Hopefully he's caught & if not, that's ok too; you were there the exact moment you needed to be to reclaim your place.
I've had a car broken into in front of our house & ransacked, & an SUV stolen from a shop, so I feel ya on being bummed out; it's stressful & you feel invaded Hoping your stress eases; hugs!
