For the first time in my life, Im a victim of a crime. Someone broke in through a window in my apartment and made off with the PS2, the games, and all my DVDs. What pisses me off the most is that they even took my 2 yr old daughter's Wiggles, Sesame Street and varied children's DVDs. WTF!? Can't they think, 'Hey, this belongs to a child.' Fucking assholes. Lucky for me I had my computer in my car or it surely would've been gone.
Has anyone else had similar shit happen? What'd you do about it?

He broke in and stole my sons tv my tv my radio my shotgun my bong anything electrical all my cell phones. and he stayed right next door to me. didnt see him after that because i told his girlfriend i would shoot him with the pistol he didnt get so he split town.

I've been ripped off before...just not that bad. In your position, if I were to discover who did it, I'd be convicted of manslaughter right now....and not just shooting someone.....it would be a long drawn out torturous process all carried out on video tape so his loved ones can watch it over and over again.

Shodan: dont think that would be manslaughter dude, I get your point though 
Sorry to hear about that Jacket - that sux! Hope they find the SOB that did it, maybe then pay him a visit with some friends (with tazers and baseball bats I suggest) and apply some "re-education" - for the benefit of society like.

Jacket gawd that sucks. You just reminded me that I need to get renters insurance.
Shodan dude stuff is just stuff. I have had stuff and lost it, got more stuff, and just today cleaned out my storage room and threw out a pile of old stuff I don't need. We all like our stuff, however killing someone over a play station and some DVD's is rather extreme; especially if you did not actually catch them in the act and later stalked the thieves for the purpose of torture.

I've been through this a few times with friends, but it's not the stuff that matters to me. You could steal my cell phone or steal my car....the end result will be the same. It's the principle of the fact that someone felt that they had the right to take something of MINE as their own, simply because they could.....that is a direct insult to me, and my ego will not tolerate such, and the penalty for such an injustice can range anywhere from a broken wrist, to permanent incapacitation.
It's not the material possessions I care for, but in actuality it's my pride and ego :twisted:

May the Earth split under my feet, but I'm inclined to agree with DumbSkull on this one. It's just stuff. Stuff comes and stuff goes. You can replace it.
I just woke up, and here's what I thought had happened for a minute:
What pisses me off the most is that they even took my 2 yr old daughters
Be glad that shit didn't happen.
Personally, I think the real crime here was trespass, and that's why I'd be laying down the booby traps and plotting vengeance.

Exactly! You guys aren't angry because you were robbed. You're angry because you were raped.
Most of the stuff is just stuff and can be replaced. It's harder to replace the feeling that your home is a place of safety.

I guess it's something you've got to experience first hand to understand it fully but, I'll never forget how fucking pissed off I was when them fuckin' nigers smashed the window out of my car and took everything they could carry. Yeah, it was just stuff but it was my stuff. my stuff that I worked for and you're just gonna take it from me? fuck you.

That really hits the nail on the head of how I feel right now. At this moment, my locks are being changed. And I am actually thinking about booby trapping the window some how. Grease it up, needles in the outside bottom, something.
I have some hunches on some pieces of shit that live around here, I may do some private investigating. |

I have experienced it. More than once.
You're right Barch. It's your stuff and you earned it and it sucks when assholes steal it.
But in the end it's still just stuff and not very important when compared to your safety or that of your kid, family and friends.
And having your car violated is exactly the same as if it were your home. It's a personal space where you feel safe.

Yea it is just stuff but like in my case. The guy that broke into my house I had hung out with .Fed the guy let him stay over if he and his girl was having problems. Thought we were being friends and he stabbed me in the back first chance possible. ITs bullshit. You and I work hard for our shit and just because someone is too fuckin lazy to get a job they steal other peoples shit. And its really like your being raped. Your privacy was victomized. FUCK IT MAN..IM ENDING NOOOW

A couple years ago we had our car stolen out of our driveway by some teenagers. They rolled it outside the city. I can say I felt alot of satisfaction knowing they were hurt. In the end I was out the insurance deductable. It's the violation that maked me enjoy their misery. |

Wolfer: I would agree that any man who stoops so low as to steal from someone who helped them out from the cold, needs his nuts smashed hard between two bricks for the disrespect and then draged off to jail for the material theft. I'm all for corporal punishment for theft, I'd only go for capital punishment on murder and rape - I think its justified, wish britain still had it.

just last month I had a large sum of money stolen. We came back (me, my wife, my daughter) from a trip out to Atlanta to find an apartment, since we're moving in February. A couple good (but young) girlfriends of my wife were watching the place while we were gone. We get back, and notice when we go to start shopping for my daughters 3rd birthday (dec. 10th) that the $200 we had set aside was gone. SUXOR!
We searched everywhere but it had obviously been stolen. Come to find out a couple of ice-heads that were 'friends' with these two girls (the only 2 people we told them specifically not to let in our place) had been in our apartment while we were gone. They said that the two 'forced' their way in, but their language when they described it to me let me know they could have prevented it. She said, "IF WE HADN'T LET THEM IN, they would have come back over and over all weekend bothering us". Oh really? I'm sorry to cause you some fucking inconvenience. Because you COULDNT BE BOTHERED, my daughters birthday money is GONE. Fucking bitches. I'm still pissed about that shit, but my wife just forgave them and got over it. I'd still like to track the little crackhead down and teach him a lesson.

BINGO. I personally feel that once you violate my personal space and try to take what I have earned, you have in turn omitted your own personal saftey and health. So in other words, you best get away with it if you don't want to be pissing through a tube for the rest of your life.
Oh and about rape and children? Well in my eyes that constitutes horrible torture, that would put the ancient Egyptians to shame. See if we handled things the way I see it, we'd have alot less crime today

Yeah you're right, I have never been robbed outright but I did have someone come into to my home and go through my personal stuff, reading letters, mail, etc. HE even wrote notes in eye liner pencil on the mirrors around the house and signed his name so I would know it was him. He took all my birth control pills and punched them out of the little round packs all over the carpet and rugs. He went through the dirty laundry as well as all of my clean clothes in the closets and chests mixing the clean and the dirty clothes. He took pictures out of photo albums…
The short version of this strange long story is that he and I were dating and one of his buddies filled me in on very pertinent info at a beach party in a casual way by asking his friend if he was still planning to get married when he went on leave (vacation) the following week. MARRIED? WTF? Apparently the fact that this bonehead was engaged and was getting married had slipped his mind. Then after he went on vacation and came back to Puerto Rico he thought that we were still going to see each other. WTF? When I said … "errrr… no"… he got pissed!
I looked around the house and could not determine if anything had been stolen, he might have taken photos, or even dirty or clean undies; who the fuck knows. But I felt violated just the same.
Come to think of it this would also have been one of my "Most Terrifying Moments".

It's the principle of the fact that someone felt that they had the right to take something of MINE as their own, simply because they could
I call this: the american way of life.
Well, ill know, its all about "someone violated my territory" thing.
And it really doesnt matter who had done it or what were taken.
In my case, i got robbed by the police.
Some years ago i arrived at home and my pc werent there.
I phoned my mother and she said that police called her to open the door so that they dont have to break it up and then gone in and take my pc stuff.
Even the monitor and the mouse (which i got back earlier then the other stuff with the statement that it doesnt contained any evidence. Thats bureaucracy as its best. I mean, did they think that i were hiding kilos of cocaine in it?).
The actions were stopped for lack of evidence.
Ok, now you are thinking that im fully responsible for this "robbery", and iam. But the feeling were the same.

I had a friend who failed to notice a legal methadone clinc up the road from his new flat... However even though it only took a week for his dvd player to be knocked off he insisted on staying because it's cheap rent and a nice house. All he needed was a bit of home security.
I know a number of Bouncers who leave carpet snakes inside their houses when they goto work and sleep so I told him to try it out:: RESULT = after 6 months he's had nothing stolen, however there was one broken window when someone tried to come in and was bitten (Poor snake had to goto the vet to make sure it didn't catch anything)

Sachsenpaule: In my case, i got robbed by the police.
I had a friend who lived about 30 minutes from here have that happen to him. He and his girlfriend enjoyed big dramatic kick-you-down-the-stairs fights, and the cops got called one time. They arrested him on domestic violence charges, even though the girlfriend was standing right there saying "I don't want to press charges, please don't arrest him." Joe said as they were walking him out of his own door, he heard one cop say to the other "tv, vcr, stereo." He thought it was wierd but in the middle of getting arrested, there were lots of other things to think about.
He spent the night in jail, came home the next day, and found his house looted.
Also, those of you interested in setting booby traps, check your state laws first. In a lot of places, it's actually illegal to, say, insert a harness of razor blades inside your car stereo portal so that any thieves get fingersliced. Yes, you are legally responsible for maintaining the safety of your attackers.

how do you keep the snakes from biting you the owner? How do the snakes know who is an intruder and who lives there?

You can be bitten, however it is assumed that if you purchase a snake you spend the time asking how to handle it. Also don't make a point of stalking thru the house in the dark. The snake will generally only bite people if it feel threatened.
My friend places snake in front room and one in back room then closes the inside of the house so that the snakes can't hide in his couch.

Yes, this is one if the recent travesties of American "justice." Property rights got top billing by the founding fathers, but since the 1970s, and particularly due to the "drug war," property can be seized by government officials even without evidence of guilt.
"Because civil forfeiture action is against the property, the government need not prove the property owner's guilt . . .Traditionally, if the court finds that probable cause has been established, the burden shifts to the claimant to prove . . . that the property was not used for illegal purposes. . ." -- Assets Seizure & Forfeiture: Developing & Maintaining a State Capability, a manual by the U.S. Department of Justice
In many cases, pot smokers who were found to be growing a couple of plants in their house, no more than feasible for "personal consumption", have had cars, boats, and even their entire house confiscated by the authorities.
Furthermore, possession laws in the US are based on not just the amount, but the weight of the offending drug. In the case of marijuana offenders, when the amount of marijuana is calculated, the entire plant - pot, soil and all - is weighed in as evidence of possession. In NY state, "manufacture" of a pound of pot is a felony offense that can land you in jail for up to 15 and make you subject to property confiscation. So when you hear about those "big" drug busts, eg "Dave Johnson was convicted for growing 30 pounds of marijuana in his home on Saturday; Johnson will spend 7 years in jail and the home has been confiscated by the police," take it with a grain of salt.
If you're in the U.S., check out this NORML site for laws in your state.
