Dear Ann Landers,
If you are in bed and you hear a stranger in the house, stay in bed. Pretend you are asleep. Don't try to be a hero. Most burglars travel in pairs these days, and they are usually armed. If a confrontation does occur, keep cool. Remember that about 75 percent of all break-ins today are by people who are high on drugs or pills. They are desperate for money and will kill you if they have to. Don't argue or scream. Don't try to get to an alarm button or a phone. The smart thing to do is fake a faint and stay "unconscious." Nothing you own is worth getting killed for. The judge has already said I should spend from one to ten years with the Indiana Department of Corrections for my misdeeds. From where I see it-at the age of 21-the immediate future isn't too rosy. I hope when I'm free I'll still be worried about your house. Sincerely, -D.P.F., Cellblock 3-G

Dear D.P.F.,
So do I. In the meantime, thank you for a most infor-mative letter.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?

"At every party there are two kinds of people - those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other."
