Alright... At about Midnight on Monday when me and my family were returning from our awesome vacation we returned home to find that we'd been robbed. Our plasma TV, laptop computer, our cell phones and all of our DVDs and CDs were gone, not to mention all of my mom's jewelry (some dating back to 70 years ago) and my X-Box, PS2, and games and about $2,000 dollars in loose money from around our house.

This really fucking blows. What drives a goddam person to steal from another? It's just a real big shock...

Man I wish I had that kind of coinage....But yeah it does suck, I have been to jail myself for doing businesses but never homes..sorry to hear that

I dumb :D

Man, it sucks when well-off white people get robbed.

Anyone want to buy a plasma tv? Or how about a laptop or some cellphones?

Drug habit, usually. So I wasn't too pissed off when they stole my TV and stereo, which could be pawned for crack money. But my top hat? And my girlfriend's cheap earrings? That was just hurtful.

Another time, someone broke my car window to steal a cheesy jacket from inside. It cost me $120 to repair the window, and I'd got the jacket for free. Bastards.

What others say about boorite!

I was in Liverpool and I had my bag stolen, in it was the following:

one pair of trainers (sneakers)
a portable CD player
a collection of various CDs
3 Irvin Welsh books
my friend's jacket
a pair of dirty underpants

My friend and I walked the route that the bag-snatcher had ran to see if we could find anything that they may have dropped. In one bin we found the 3 books, in another we found my trainers, in the next bin we found my friend's jacket.

To this day I still point out to my friend that they rejected his jacket yet kept my dirty underpants.

Dad was flammable

I'll sell them back to you if you want.

What is being poor, Alex?

Please replace the handset, and try again.

They didn't take your computer though?

---
Poop.

No, they didn't take our computer, just my mom's laptop. It had to have been the work of amateur kids, they just swiped small and easy stuff that they could fit in a duffel bag.

Hey, kramer and I were in a hurry. We were jonesin' like a coupla crackheads for some beef jerky.

How much does the $2000 go for?

---
Mediocrity at its most average.

Despite living most of my life in the east end of Glasgow, the only time I've ever been robbed was during a visit to the much more salubrious west end. What a crazy world!

Show some sympathy for fuck sakes.

You guys have no idea how shitty something like this is, until it happens to you. Not only is all your hard-earned shit gone, but you don't feel secure in your own house for weeks. Fuck, I'm sorry, Frank. That really blows, man.

Destroying my reputation one post at a time.

That actually sounds a lot less amateur than trying to steal bulky, heavy stuff that would slow them up and look really suspcious while being carried down the street.

Off hand I'd say this:

plasma TV, laptop computer, our cell phones and all of our DVDs and CDs. My mom's jewelry and my X-Box, PS2, and games and about $2,000 dollars in loose money.

In a culture where we're told that we are defined by our possessions our stuff is not safe. The guy who robbed you is now exactly that amount of stuff cooler than you. I hope you were insured and to everyone reading this who isn't insured, it's a lot cheaper than you think.

I've been robbed twice, had a brick thrown through my car window, had a jacket stolen from my friend's car that was broken into, and my wife was robbed at gunpoint right in front of our apartment. It all sucked. I hate thieves. I'm sorry that it happened to you Frank.

As a weird aside, my top hat was stolen when my mom's house was robbed. Maybe the Monopoly Man is robbing us, boorite.

Peeing sitting down is the gift you give yourself.

I don't hate thieves. I hate MUGGERS and ROBBERS. People who steal quietly from you suck, and it happens. But they aren't anywhere near what ROBBERS and MUGGERS are. Robbers take from YOU, not just from your house or car. MUGGERS beat you and take your stuff.

I hate muggers and robbers, who aren't even fucking clever enough to figure out a way to get your shit without you seeing them do it.

We were insured, but not enough to get my mom's jewelry back. Most of that was passed down to her from her grandma and great-grandma, so it can never be replaced. We're insured enough where just about everything that was stolen we can get back, mainly because my Uncle is our insurance agent.

It's nice to have family in high places

Frank...I feel your pain, man. When I was 14, our house got broken into. And it's not like we were in a crime ridden area, we lived out in the middle of nowhere. They nabbed our VCR (an old style top loader), stereo system and speaks, cassette tapes, a bunch of my mom's jewelry, and worst of all, the Atari 2600 and roughly 30 games for it. That pissed me off. We would've lost the TV too, but it was an old 25" Zenith floor model that would've taken 4 guys to move. We had a German Shepherd, and she must've had some sort of struggle with the thieves because we found a watchband by the front door. Hopefully she chomped on those bastards a little before they left.

Thankfully, we were insured...but it sucked not having an Atari for about a month. Defender withdrawal is not a fun thing to deal with.

Think classy, you'll be classy.

My house was broken into once, and thoroughly ransacked, but nothing was stolen. This is probably either because our house is too disgustingly messy for anyone to locate anything remotely valuable, or they were only after my mom's secret map. It shows where she buried her treasure, and some of her enemies would certainly love to get their hands on it.

But Frank, I'm really sorry to hear about this. Hope everything works out for you, man.

---
It's grime time.

Frank, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Having stuff stolen is horrible, especially the jewelery and other irreplacable things.

When I was very little, someone painting our house (we never found out who) grabbed a camera and film from an open window. That wouldn't be so bad, except it had almost all the footage of my brother and I as toddlers. If I was ever in a situation where I had to steal, I'd at least try to leave the sentimental stuff.

I think, therefore I make comments on a forum.
