<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I live in the "Bad part of town". Last Thursday I heard a crash and was startled awake thinking it was my loud mouthed cat with a two am snack but today discovered someone had been slamming on the side door to my garage in attempt to break in.  This is the third time my house has been broken into/almost and the fifth attempt on any house in my neighborhood in the last three months. 

Today, after taking my garbage out to the bin on the side of my home I quickly realized what I had really heard. Last Thursday around 2 A.M. I was startled awake by a large crash and my cat screaming in his "wake the fuck up bro, I caught you a present!" voice. I quickly got up and flip on the hall light, which in turn floods light outside to the window RIGHT by the garage door in question. Apparently scaring away the person. 

The reason I didn't discover it until today is I had left Friday morning and didn't return until yesterday evening on a trip. Nothing had happened since.
<bot>: Awoken to a crash thinking it was my cat with a treat only to days later discover my side garage door had significant damage due to someone trying to break in.
