Thieves SUCK!

[Triathlete]

Returned home from a great weekend of racing and camping to find my house had been broken into
Theives are among the lowest forms of scum on the earth!

[Dmitrikr]

O sh.t!

Sorry to hear that Billy...hopefully nothing missing that can't be replaced and thank God no one was home to be involved in what could have been much worse.

[VxSport]

Oh mmmmmy. sorry. Also glad to hear no one was home

[Triathlete]

Looks like all they got was some jewelry. Attempted to get a tv (had everything disconnected) but got scared and left in a hurry.
I think it was lucky for them I wasn't home....after 20 yrars of law enforcement and 4 1/2 in the Marines I probably shoot faster and straighter than most garden variety crooks. So yea, things probably would have ended badly....for him

2 hours with the deputy and forensics. Dipsht left lots if nice prints! Mess cleaned up. Time for some sleep.

It's never a bad time to invest in an alarm system. Even a cheap one with a single motion detector can be enough to scare away your common variety crook.

[VXorado]

That's too bad... hopefully the prints will help the cops get em'

We got broken into a couple of years ago, crooks tossed the place but didn't take anything at all. We think they were probably looking for guns, jewelry, cash, or drugs, which of course we didn't have any of in the house. You could actually tell they were getting more and more frustrated as they searched the house because each successive room was more trashed than the previous. Lots of mess but fortunately nothing missing or broken. We got an alarm the next week and didn't have any problems after that.

I still like to poke fun at Sonya about it though, whenever we come back from a long trip to an inevitably messy house (packing for two little kids and a dog is crazy!) I'm always like "Holy crap we've been robbed!" To which I get a nice punch in the shoulder.

Hope they catch the guy(s) and definitely consider an alarm system if you're away a lot.

I feel for the thieves that break into my home. My doberman has only gotten grumpier and more ornery in her old age. Thinking the only mess I would have to clean up when I came home would be the crumbs that she didn't manage to swallow.



Sucks dude. Hope you find some justice on the other end of those prints.

[Triathlete]

After taking hundreds of thousands of prints throughout my career it would be sweet justice if I took the prints that catch the scumbag!
The irony is we have always had dogs. Since my big dog Luc (170 lbs rotti/great dane) passed away we have been taking our other dog with us to socialize him more. This was his first camping trip. Had he been home a stranger would not have wanted to come through our window.

[Vendetta]

I know it's cliche to say we feel bad for the thief that would break into our places, but this board is one community where that's probably more true than most others! For my part, I'd probably have to politely ask the intruder to kindly hold while I deliberate over selecting the weapon with which to end his earthly existence.

Sorry it happened to you, Tri. Hope terrible things come the perp's way at your hand. Even if it's just off a set of prints you lifted years ago. I'd bet you still have friends in the house that will take proper care of him.

I know this sounds crass, but I only hope I'm home when some scumbag comes to break into my house, I may not shoot his punk-azz, but I'm sure gonna make him piss his pants before the cops get there!!

[circmand]

I finally tracked done some good front replacement seats for my VX and even ordered them. That evening someone broke into the salvage yard and stole seats and the roof rack which I also was going to get. Thereby no seats and no rack. Not as bad as your situation but when people start stealing car parts from a junkyard thats desperate.

Sorry Billy...glad family is ok
