They stole my DS!

My damn apartment got broken into today while I was at work. The dirty fucker(s) stole my cameras, my Kensington laptop bag, and also my DS Lite with my copy of Phoenix Wright JFA in it. I'm really pissed because my apartment was seemingly the only one broken into and it's easily visible to all of the other damn apartments in this part of the complex. You almost can't avoid seeing my apartment window (where they broke in) from the other apartments around. Unfortunately no one seems to have seen anything.
I think I'm just going to store the rest of my valuable stuff in my office at work. Luckily they didn't snatch the rest of my DS games or my computer. That's actually really weird, they didn't bother stealing my MacBook Pro sitting on the same desk as my cameras and lenses. Needless to say it's coming with me to work from now on.
I was most of the way through Turnabout Big Top in PW:JFA.
If you're around San Jose and see someone selling a Canon 300D with three lenses on the cheap let me know. :x

Now to scour the area for a cheap DS and sweet ass camera.

I feel your pain, and offer my condolences.
unlucky mate.
In his defense, he thought he was freeing a coworker from bondage.
a wonderful connection that I didn't notice until I was typing the story.
Perhaps it's Jack Thompson!
That sucks. Did you file a police report? Planning on moving?
Axey smashy revenge?
It's weird, because they obviously saw the other things in my bag, including my passport and a wallet with 8 DS games in it, but just left them.
So anyway. I feel your pain.
I had an original DS (non lite) stolen from my Apt here in Korea. Around 5 months ago I had to switch units from the 5th floor to the 6th floor and a few days after I settled in my DS went missing. The thing that pissed me off was it had my copy of the original Japanese version of Phoenix Wright on which I had gotten to Act 3. I have a feeling it was someone from the Realtor office because they had access to the door code (my door doesn't use a normal key entry). I tried to buy a DS-lite when I was back in the States during X-mas but it was impossible to find one. Luckily, Nintendo officially released the DS-lite here in Korea this past February so I was able to purchase one with the Korean AC adapter.

Likely suspects were aplenty, the parking ramp had a soup-kitchen for the homeless on the first level. The police told me that happens all the time. Vagrants come in for lunch and then cruise the parking ramp looking for shit to pawn for desert.
Its infuriating. I would love to catch someone at it, even if it wasn't my car/home. I feel your pain.
This thread reminds me that we should get that renter's insurance we talked about. It's really cheap and we'd be reimbursed for those losses no problem because they're so small (in the eyes of an insurance company).
Still need to organise that.
Trying to tabulate everything in my apartment will be a bitch though.
(but most likely worth it)
Satans..... hints.....
Well he does need practice...
fuck man... that really blows...
stole my $3000 laptop, xbox, games, dvds, my guitar, and (insult to injury) my paycheck that i was going to cash later that day. took me almost a year to get the paycheck reissued properly, since it was a university payroll check, and uni's suck at things like that.
One thing to remember though is the insurance company wont give you anything without a receipt so what I do when I make a large purchase is scan the receipt and email it to my gmail account so even if there is a fire or whatever I have proof for everything.
Takes a while to scan in all the receipts you have for stuff but if anything ever happens those few hours save weeks of headache.
The guy was caught, but get this: Some other fuckers in the dorm claimed my games. Of those stolen I got Ratchet and Clank back. That's it. It still pisses me off to this day, especially Disgaea. I've since replaced it, but dammit, I got it for $60 new, and sunk another $60 in getting another one. I love the game too much to not own it.
File the police report and let them know all the serial numbers. Any decent department will have a system that records everything, and all pawn shops, gamestops, etc are required to submit slips with A: serial numbers of everything they got, B: the persons info, and C: their finger prints.
We catch idiots ALL the time if you have the serial numbers. And you get your stuff back.
But more importantly, the douche gets nailed for felony burglary. Usually multiple counts
I live in a shady ass part of town that happens to be really close to my college. Me and my roomates have all had our cars broken into, broken glass and all. They stole one of my mates and my stereo, broke the dash open and all. I deliever pizza on the weekends and when people tip me in change, I put it into the middle console of my car and then, like once every 6 months, put it into a change bank that I have in my house. Anyway, they stole like 20-30 bucks in change.
Also, a few days ago, my mate left his doors on his car unlocked and when I went to work in the morning, his door was open and shit was flung about in the car, but nothing was stolen.
One other thing, I often keep my window unlocked because I open it alot and whatnot. Anyway, one day I got home from class and the shades to the window were all fucked up, my covers on my bed were messed up, there was a Gamecube controller sitting in the middle of my kitchen and my Wii had fallen into my trashcan beneath where it sits. Nothing was stolen, even though I had a checkbook sitting out along with a Wii, a 360, a PS2, Laptop. In my friends room was a PS3 and another Laptop. I was the only one in the house at the time and I thought there might have been someone else, maybe they heard me come in and hid, so I scoured the house with a butcher knife from the kitchen, checking ever closet and whatnot, but found nobody.

Video tape. Lay out everything of value and take pictures. Easy to compare the video and what's left after a break in, and most insurance companies won't argue if you have photograph proof of what was lost.
DVDs and games, it's probably better to keep a catalog as you buy them than redoing a video tape every other week. Get a lockbox, keep the video and catalog in it (along with any other important documents), and bolt it to the floor if possible.
The first thing I did whent I realized what happened was wrote everything down and then took pictures of the missing stuff with my phone. Then I called the cops and my apartment's security. I filed a report and the officer gave me a sheet to list what was stolen with any serial numbers I might have for things. I have to go in in a little bit and talk to the apartment management who was gone for the day when I got home from work. I should have known something was up months ago. I got a welcome mat that said "Go Away" and it was stolen between the time I set it out in the afternoon and when I went to work the next morning. I've been looking into moving into a different apartment for a few weeks now, this just crystalizes that desire.
If you live on a ground floor apartment don't trust anybody. If you so much as see someone looking vaguely in the direction of your windows stab them in the heart. I'm calling now to see if I can get a pet tiger...that I'll keep a little hungry...when I'm not home.

Only vaguely related, but the pet tiger bit reminded me of this. Still, very tempting to get a really mean pet after getting robbed.

I talked to the apartment management about moving today. They're looking into it. Unfortunately the complex doesn't have any apartments with built-in pit falls or punji traps, I'll have to decorate myself apparently. I also found they stole my two old phones, a Nokia 6600 and a Motorola RAZR. Luckily I've got the IMEI numbers for both. I'm reminded of the Warren G song:
I got my CD player stolen out of my car about 4 years ago (in a different neighborhood); I accidentally left my passenger door unlocked ONCE and it got taken. Since I leave the doors locked every other time, it made me paranoid that maybe someone was going around every night checking the cars to see if they could find free stuff. :x
muh.
That's actually very accurate.
ALWAYS lock your doors, to your vehicles, your house, everywhere. Seriously.
We've had a string of home invasions recently with people walking into strangers houses, you know since the front door is just unlocked, and they stroll in with masks, tie everyone up, and steal their shit.
And occasionally someone gets messed up in the process. Lock your shit.
