Aveline frowned slightly and asked, "That is strange. Did you change the locks?"

Selena nodded. "I did, but it didn't help. I'm starting to wonder if these thieves are expert locksmiths. Maybe they learned how to pick locks before deciding to become burglars."

Aveline chuckled at her comment but still said, "If it's that unsafe here, maybe you should find a new place to live."

Aveline gave her a sympathetic look. "How much longer is your lease?"

Selena thought for a moment. "Just one more month. After that, I'm definitely moving."

"Good." Aveline nodded.
