Home Invasion
I used to travel a great deal, meaning that I would be away from my house for several weeks at a time. I didn't keep pets, I did have someone who would go by once or twice a week just to sort of keep an eye on the place. I lived in a small, rural town with pretty much no crime to speak of, I locked the door if I was going to be away for more than a couple days, but I was primarily worried about storm damage or something like that more than robbery.
I'd been away for around three weeks, I got back home late, around 2 or 3 am, and realized that I didn't have my house key- the duplicate had been lost, and I hadn't had time to get a new one done
