Thread: Fuck My Life

Sorry to hear this Sox. I recommend getting LoJack for your laptop next time, at least with that they can track them down.

Cops...never around when you need them.

I would by those little magnetic alarms that chime on one setting and make an irritating whine in the alarm setting......

I would also get some bars of glycerin soap, a handful of nickels, and a sturdy wool sock, place them inside and beat my roomate with them for not locking the fucking door........

I was always glad when I shared an apartment the door was like a hotel room and it locked itself when it closed, my roomie and I just wore our keys around our necks on our dog tag chains so we never got locked out even when getting the paper or throwing out the garbage.......I don't know how many a night I'd get up to piss and see he came home and passed out on the foot of his bed drunk and clothed and didn't lock the deadbolt......

I personally wouldn't go chasing a guy that just broke into my house and stole some stuff. If he is crazy enough to do that then he is probably crazy enough to carry a gun or knife. Definitely wouldn't chase him by myself. Who knows, maybe you are crazy yourself. I would just keep working hard so you can get the hell out of whatever neighborhood your in. It doesn't sound the safest.

O yeah, Manic drives a Honda Civic?

3 cars ago, then I had an Altima and now I have my BMW.....anyone touches that I will chase them to the bowels of hell.....

Thats shitty....Get a dog man.

My pic in my avatar is wolf not a dog, just to be clear.

damn sox, sorry to hear this.
Oddly enough, I faced a very similar situation about 8 years ago. My roomate and I were at a friends birthday party and he also forgot to lock the door.
I got home around 4 am and my front door was wide open. The dumbass only stole a PS2 and a box of games and dvd's. He completely ignored the tv, computer, and stereo equipment. He even left the big bottle of change sitting next to the entertainment center.

I called the cops, they came out. Didn't really do shit other than take my statement. Frikkin guy didn't even want to look for fingerprints. He did though, because I badgered him about it. In the end though, he said the same shit, my chance of seeing any of the stolen items were extremely slim.

However, I do have a somewhat 'happy' ending to the story. I knew most of the little hoodlums that lived in the town and I had some of them keep their ears open. I had three separate guys come to me with the same name. I didn't catch up to to the guy until about a year later, but I ran into him in a local bar one night and well... at the end of the night I went home, and he went to the emergency room.

I was robbed on February 7th 2006. I know this because about 5 times a week I think about the fuckers that broke into my house and how I would have loved to catch them in the act. It's a terrible feeling to be robbed and I think people that do this shit should have all human rights taken away from them. Sorry to hear about this Sox.

oh, and I had a boston terrier sitting in my mud room during the entire robbery. I just consider myself very lucky that she's okay. The robbers could have easily just let her out into the street.

oh look! ANOTHER happy ending!

I bet he only took what he could snatch up in a few seconds and what he could hold in his arms?

I used to be a cop in the Air Force way back when. used to hear stories about how we'd deal with thieves at Howard ,AFB in Panama.
Was told that if your stuff wasn't 'bolted down'...it would be stolen. You couldn't prosecute a Panamanian if you caught them.
So...if the cops caught the guy, they'd beat the living shit out of them, or turn K-9 on them...then toss them over the fence to slink back into the jungle.
thing is...they'd heal up and try to steal more...

I think cops sell this info amongst each other so they can get cheap shit at pawn shops, or from fences they know on the streets.....

Back at the station house they barter with each other..."I got a PS2 hot on the market in the next few days lots of games too..." "Yeah, well I got a 3 carat wedding ring out there 3 hours hot, plus a digital camcorder..." "Hey I'll trade you an Xbox360 for it my chicks been badgering me about popping the question for month's what area is yours likely to come up?" "Looks like a Fast Eddie job, only took the Jewels and beer from the fridge...look at Frankie Five Fingers up on Eldridge in two weeks and 1 day he usually lets ice that hot chill for exactly that long because he knows couples wil tell themselves they will look for 2 weeks and then give up..." "Yeh, the Xbox was def. a Larenz Lowball hit, lazy bastard only took the light electronic shit and the place was unlocked, you know he won't even try to break in just walks around turning door knobs til he finds a sucker. Plus get this, he just walked away even when the vic took foot on him, that's def. him 6+ foot black dude matches perfect....stuff's gonna be at that turban fuckers Electronic Repair shop, you know the scam he has all that shit that he claims people brought in for repairs and never picked up. He can move shit faster that way doesn't have to do the wait period like Pawn Shops, better hurry on this one bro..."

Sox, check all the pawn shops within an hr or so of you. He will probably go sell the stuff.

Hey Sox, same thing happened to me years ago down in North Carolina where I went to college. Cuban dudes just walked into our apartment during the middle of the day and stole all of my stereo equipment. The thing is I knew who it was and they dropped out of school and returned to Miami. I called my parents back in Indiana and they checked with their insurance agent. It seems that their home owners insurance covered my items even though I was down at college. Might be worth a try!

Good luck!
