house got broken into yesterday

Surprised no one said this yet. You didn't mention anything about your RC stuff getting stolen, be thankful for that! Neus, LiPos, and MMMs add up quick to. I keep all my stuff in some tool crates on wheels. If someone got into my place they could roll out a couple grand with almost no effort!

What's your address?

[ssspconcepts]

Hope ya had something like this on your laptop: http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/products/premium.asp

With that software, and a little "persuasive tipping" to the vendor that tracks the stolen laptop, you could get the name and address of the low-life scum bag that snatched your gear...then you could go have a little "go to Jesus meeting" with him/her.

I know how you feel! That really sucks! I would be very mad... But it's good to hear that they didn't go to your grandma's house. I hope the Police in the US is a little bit better than here in the Netherlands...
A few years ago, my fathers motorbike was stolen, he knew exactly which guy did it, and he still knows, but the police does NOTHING

I hope you'll find that guy!

i have a password on my computer so if they ever close it it will lock up and they shouldnt be able to crack it. my password is wack...

i know there are ways around the password but they are tweakers.. they dont know shit.

we do have insurance and we totalled everything up to be around 20k in loss... (my parents safe got stolen.. lots of cash)

so im almost positive we are going to file a claim.

if they would have even went to my grammas house... man... i woudlnt even think twice about going to their home and effing it up so bad.. im protective with my family...

anyways theres actually a cop here right now talking with us and he seems that he wants to help.

im going to try the pawn shops in about a week (they have to hold all items before 10 days before putting out to the public)

thanks for the support and funny clips guys!!

chachi im going to be pming you in a sec

Ive never been burgaled but have has my house catch fire twice. Lost about $10k of rc stuff, my beloved '63 lincoln continental project car, and everything that means anything to me. Ryan, I am very sorry to hear for your losses and know kind of what you have been through.+

[t-maxxracer32]

wow...

i guess i really cant complain too much then.. it could have been A LOT worse..

[suicideneil]

Bummer man, that bites.

On the up side, I got a new plasma tv, power tools, PS3 (no games), new laptop and a digital camera from my mate 'Baz' down the pub...

[t-maxxracer32]

haha my freinds said the same thing when i told them.

thanks for the laugh neil

Sorry to hear about that dude. As someone who's been burglarized before I definitely know how crappy that feels. I totally agree with extremely harsh punishment for crimes like that. The reality is that burglaries are rarely solved but hopefully you get lucky. It's a good chance it's someone you know or who lives around you.

[t-maxxracer32]

so the cops went to the kids house that we all thought it was. he ended up being clean. well... his house is clean. if he was smart he woulda taken the stuff to someone elses house... now to find out where he took it...

ive seen too many detective shows so it makes me think i have a chance at finding the stuff. lol.

ill keep you all updated

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.

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.

Very good points. It's definitely someone who has something against you... They made that obvious by mainly taking all of YOUR stuff...

Not that it compares in scale to what you experienced, but I had my car CD player ripped out of my dash a few years ago. I went to work @ 12pm, went out to my car for my break @ 3pm and it was gone... I was in a front corner spot in the lot, too and noone saw anything. The security guy where I was working (who I was good friends with) suggested what would've happened if they had caught him in the act... I responded with: WHAT IF I HAD CAUGHT HIM IN THE ACT!!!!! I tell you what, they would've been picking up pieces- and I don't own any weapons.....

[rschoi_75]

Yeah, that sucks. I've had my house burglarized too. Not a fun experience... especially when my neighborhood has a private security guard who sleeps on duty all the time. My brother (who was home at the time) was really shaken up by it. Luckily he only got away with a box of silverware since my brother caught him in the act, but it could have been MUCH worse (especially if this guy turned out to be violent).

I feel your pain man. I hope everything works out for you.

thats sucks, I had my back pack stolen once while we were skateboarding in town (it had my video camera, digtal camera, tripod, mp3 player, some skateboard trucks and tools, and my wallet and house keys (about 900 worth of stuff) well as soon as me and my buddies realized it was gone we all spilt looking for it and guess what the little dumbass kid that look my bag was at a gas station only 2 blocks away buying bunch of candy and a coke with my money wearing my bag on his back, i chased this kid around the inside this conveince store for about 3 mins before i caught the little chit (btw clerk had called the cops while this was going on) and i got arrested because i was choking the kid and punching him in the face as the cops pulled up. after about 2 hours at the police station and getting the same story from all my friends about my bag getting stolen they let me go with my bag, only neded up losing the $10 the kid blew on candy and crap......... guess i shouldnt have let my temper get the better of me becasue later this kids older siblings slashed my tires on my truck at school, so i let that one go and jsut collected the insurance and got new rims and tires, there really isnt no beating the damn lowlifes because if you do, do something they will prolly come screw with you or your stuff agian, it really sucks.



on a funny note one of my younger brother's so called "friends" skipped school one day to come to our house and try and steal about $800 worth of cooper wire my brother had been bruning the insulation off of to take to the scrap yard. Well homeboy didnt know my grandma was home and she pulled her 20 guage on them and told him and another boy with him to never come by there agian or she would "blow their candy asses away"..... it was the funniest thing id ever heard in my life. these two kids would not walk down the same hallway as me in school.....too funny!
