house got broken into yesterday

[t-maxxracer32]

hey guys so yesterday was one weird day... i went up to phoenix with one of my freinds to check out the college at around 1030 AM.. around 1pm my brother calls me telling me that our house got broken into and the effed my room up... i was not too happy about this but after an hour or so i calmed down and had fun while i was in phoenix... didnt seem real

well when i got home it turned real... my room was trashed. everything was gone.

its weird to think that i worked hard for all these things and then a person comes in and they have it all in less than 30 minutes.

heres a list so far of the things that are missing..

50' plasma
ps3 (they didnt take games, controllers or the rock band 2 set)
brand new hp special edition laptop... this is what im most upset about
couple hundred cash in my safe
brand new miluakee drill set
crafstman tool set
digital camera i got for graduation
those really sweet bose big headphones
my brand new custom made jordan shoes (this made me pretty pissed off too)
bunch of random things that arent worth a whole lot but still...


its a weird feeling... coming into my room now and not seeing anything..

to look on the bright side... noone got hurt, they didnt go to my grandmas house (we have a second house in the back for her), and they really didnt trash the house except my room.

we think it might be one of me and my brothers old friend... i called up all my shady freinds and told them to talk to everyone they know and see if they hear anything about it...

other than that i really dont know what to do. we filed a police report yesterday and everything like that..

all my freinds know this kid who we think it is but the problem is is that he is one effed up kid now... hes always strapped and down for whatever.. kinda scared to go over to his house i guess.

my life isnt worth all the stuff stolen.

anyways i feel better now that i vented a little. im surprisingly OK with everything that happened.... noone got hurt so i cant be too upset. all in all it was probably 6-7 thousand taken from me

everyone have a good day!

I know what you are feeling, I recently moved to Statesboro Ga and had to leave my house in Warner Robins Ga unattended for a period of time. I lost a lot of my RC stuff, My SRT's, a few touring cars and all my Nitro stuff, They left all the broken or unassembled stuff, makes me think it was kids. I also lost a computer, PS2, a laptop, two tv's (nothing fancy), My PSP and a few other things. I did manage to save a few things, but it hurt for a while. I was always was raised, If you can't afford it, you don't need it, I guess some people are not right in their thinking. I do believe Karma is a bitc* and they will get theirs eventually

man that sucks. i got $70 stolen from me the other day. they grabbed my wallet, took the money, LEFT THE CREDIT CARDS! and i had probably about $200 worth of gift cards and they didnt take a single one of those.

That is not cool! What is this world coming to??? You might want to check pawn shops and see if anything is there. They might have information about the person that brought it in. Good luck with everything!

....this jumped out at me.

get new card numbers and cancel those.

This type of theft is becoming more common...the numbers of your cards along with the security codes, expiration dates, etc could have been written down...and returned to you ON PURPOSE so that you dont cancel them.

get new ones, it wont cost you a thing...

ALSO, another thing that is going on is this...
people steal cards and go to the mall, they dont put a charge on the cards, but they use them as reference to get new ones. Almost every major clothing store asks at the register if you'd like to sign up and get their card for future discounts or some sort of promotion...most will expedite the process if you have another card they can use for a reference. So they use your card to get a new card in your name that you dont even know about. Get in touch with some credit reporting agency and make sure there arent any new credit cards in your name that you dont know about.

just a suggestion

[kulangflow]

That is terrible news. It sure does sound like they knew right where to go for the good stuff.

Question: Was your safe unlocked, or were they able to crack it?

Also, are you able to cash in on some insurance for any of it?

Good luck. I hope it works out for you. I had the rims stolen off my car once, and I was less than pleased about it. I know the guy that did it too, but I would never have been able to prove it. Bleh.

That sucks, but as you said life is more important than things. It does sound like an inside job. Down here the big crime is roofers ripping you off. There are alot of out of town companies still doing hurricane repairs. The cops tell me that they sit on the roof all day watching the surrounding houses. Watching what your schedule is and hit you when the house is empty the day they leave.

On the bright side, at least you don't have to keep that plasma maintained!!


Seriously though, that sucks. Good to hear nobody was hurt and you filed a P report. Got insurance?

This type of thing gets me so mad. Not that "stuff" is important in the grand scheme of things, but you do work hard to get what you have just to have some douche come in and take it. I wish a harsher stance would be taken on thieves, especially to this scale; something like cutting off hands and/or shot in the face with birdshot would be sufficient.

I couldnt agree more! Effin' lazy ass weenie! Here is a clip that might lighten the moon a little bit.

Sorry to hear about your break in. these things are becoming far more common these days, the world really is in sorry shape right now. You seem to have handled it well, better that I would have.

I'm with Brian on the hand cutting off, providing you can prove guilt. Bird shot to the face might me a bit extreme. But the hand thing, YEAH! They have done it to thieves in the middle east fora few thousand years, let update our laws to allow it!

[Unsullied_Spy]

Wow. I'm really sorry for you. Fortunately your Grandmother's place is OK. I can't even think of what I would feel like if that happened.

Cutting off the hand is cruel, but I agree that it would work. Screw birdshot, buckshot is more effective. My shotgun has a barrel just barely legal (18.5") and I keep that and my AR-15 handy just in case.

[BrianG]

I only say birdshot because it should hurt a LOT, but not kill, and be totally obvious to anyone who looks at them what they did and should not be trusted. Sort of like a badge of shame. While we're at it, let's castrate them to keep that flawed DNA isolated.

Yeah, I have very little tolerance for criminals.

Ahh, that makes sense. Might try rock salt in a 12 gauge shell, it'll puncture the skin, burn like hell, and actually help with the healing process. Very painful but not lethal.

I'm the same way, no tolerance for criminals. Violate my rights and you give up yours.

[sikeston34m]

"Violate my rights and you give up yours."

Now there's a quote worth remembering.

After reading your description of what happened Tmaxxracer, I would DEFINATELY say that the person that did this was close to you, at least at some point.

This was carefully planned. They knew the approximate time that you were leaving. I would go so far as to say, they even knew where you were going. They knew you wouldn't be back for quite some time.

I would imagine you were being watched as you left.

My best advice would be, to work closely with the Police. Tell them everything you know and everything you suspect.

Your "Evidence" will be to locate the stolen stuff. Figuring out where it went will be the challenge.

I give a VERY good chance that you know this person or it is someone that you're acquanted with.
