Damn! That could have turned out allot worse than it was..... you still have your weapons and photography equipment, so that is a very good thing.
Lucky for you, you were not to far away from home so you could respond to the situation. It's unbelievable that it took that long to get someone out to your house under the circumstances and if it was a break in, they would have been long gone with the goods.
I can't get over the statement "that there is not enough crime in my area for police to respond to alarm calls".....your tax dollars at work

What constitutes a crime?
Glad everything worked out OK
