So I had a normal day at work, just like everyone else I'm sure. Get home with my fresh new copy of Arkham City and 12 pack of beer...Gonna be a good night, right?

Hmm. The outside lights on, I never turn that light on. Strange.

Try the door, it's unlocked, WTF!

Peek my head in and yep, all my shit was ransacked. 42" tv, gone. tv in the bedroom, gone. Samsung Galaxy (which I just bought on fucking Saturday), gone. 360, gone. PS3, gone, strongbox with all my papers and 3k cash, gone.

Fuckers even took two longboxes full of comics. Who the hell burgles your damn house and steals comics!!!

So now I have a condo with shit on the floor everywhere. Cops just left and I'm waiting on a locksmith to replace my busted ass door.

Looking on the bright side my pc is still here so I'm gonna get real drunk and not sleep tonight.

How was your day SE++?

    Cop said they just shouldered the door open through the deadbolt and door lock. So basically deadbolts are completley useless.

    Neighbor was home all day too and she didn't hear jack.

    Get some kind of a security system or make it look like you have one.

    Ain't going to guarantee nothing but it does act as a deterrent.

    There's like 500 units in this complex and they hit this one. I ain't flashy, I have nice shit but it's not like anyone can see, I'm on the second floor.

    Something's fishy.

    Maybe after I get all these beers in me I'll go play CSI.

    Unable to play as Batman, the only reasonable course of action you can take, is to become Batman!

    Fuck CSI, play Dexter.

    Man, if someone stole my 360...

    It's not even the cash value. It's my goddam saves.

    My cheevos.

    Also, with the stuff they took I'd be looking at less reputable pawn shops in your area, and if you can talk to people who may live their lives a little differently.

    Nobody in the actual place no, not that I don't 100% trust.

    Next door neighbor has some shady ass relatives though, in an out of jail but she swears they haven't been around in weeks. Maybe I need to use some sodium pentothal on her. Anyone know where to get some?

    That doesn't mean deadbolts are useless. Part of the problem may be that the landlord didn't have the deadbolts in the building installed correctly, reducing their effectiveness. There is no perfect security. Deadbolts are by no means perfect, but they definitely increase security compared to just having a regular lock.

    Only think I had on it was gmail and comixology which has my billing info. Cop duder said don't report or change anything like that for a few days in case the dumb bastards try to use it since I'll be refunded anything after the break in.

    Check for your stuff to start showing up on craigslist too. If you see your stuff, you could try to have the police catch them when they try to sell it

    Oh man. I remember having my car broken into (I also made a thread about it!) I remember being so just frustrated, not with the stuff that was gone, but the fact that people think it's ok to steal shit.

  • MaximumMaximum Registered User regular
    I'm more frustrated with the future right now. I hold out no hope whatsoever that any of my stuff will ever be returned to me.

    So what then? Do I replace all of my things that I worked so hard to aquire only to have this happen again in six months?

    Maybe I should get a pit bull, place is is small and I'm away all day so I'd feel bad keeping it cooped up but he'd eat any asshole that tried this shit.

    So they shouldered your door open and the neighbour, who was home at the time, didn't hear?

    That seems extra fishy to me. Especially if she is the neighbour with the jailbird relatives. Forcing a door open makes a shit-ton of noise. And it's not a noise that can be mistaken for something else like a car crash or thunder. It's a very specific THUMP-CRUNCH, and would be almost guaranteed to catch the ear of anyone currently conscious within 100 feet. Or wake someone sleeping in the apartment next door...

    Don't actually boobytrap your stuff, you'll get arrested.

    The first thing I would do is have a deadbolt installed properly, and then get a security system and make sure you have some shit visible that tells people you have one.

    One time I lived in a place where my second story neighbor got robbed. I wasn't home at the time, but it turned out to be someone else in the complex who did it.

    People are fucking nuts. Alarms are so worth it.

    Sadly it is a code that is only found on your xbox.

    But yes, if you do happen to have this code lying around, you can tell the local PD that they can get Microsoft to track the 360 and where it's turned on and such.

    Yeah alarm system seems the way to go I guess. Can't install a punjabi stick trap since I'm on the second floor.

    I'm the gullible type so I really don't want to suspect my neighbor but I have a really bad feeling about it.

    Only other thing I can think of is UPS, I had the tv, tablet, my laptop, all that shit delivered through Amazon via UPS, those guys know what's in here.

    Locksmith is gone so I'm all alone. Gonna be a long night with no tv and this fucking copy of Batman staring at me.

    No way I'm sleeping, thank god they left my pc. Insane that they didn't take this when they took damn near everything else that wasn't bolted down.

  • BYToadyBYToady Registered User regular
    I'm glad your shit was insured. Hopefully it isn't to much of a pain in the ass to replace it.

    Also it was totally your neighbor's shifty ass relatives.
