Worried

So I'm a little worried... Tuesday morning after work I went to bed and slept most of the day. When Joe got home that evening I got up and we were eating dinner together and watching a movie when a police officer knocked on the door. He told us the neighbors a few houses down was broken into and wondered if we had seen anything suspicious or strange vehicles that day. There have been lots of days I'm home alone sleeping. How would any burgler know I'm back in the bedroom sleeping, and what would happen if they broke in and then discovered me there? It would be very easy for someone to get into the house if they wanted to. Joe put the poker to the fire-pit next to the bed... although I'm not convinced it could do much harm to them no matter how hard I tried... It just has me a little worried and shook up... I never would have thought in our neighborhood we'd have to worry. :(
