Thievery!

[Sauza12]

Well hello everybody!  It's been what, 6 months since I posted here?  I have my reasons.  Mostly a combination of work and home stuff that keeps me from tackling the ol' internet.  But that's not the reason why I'm here today.  I have a much more dire reason 

Tuesday while my girlfriend and I were at work, somebody broke into our house.  My girlfriend walked into our house to find stuff strewn about everywhere and called me at work.  They didn't hit the main house to bad, but boy oh boy did they have a good time in my game room.

All told they got away with all of my Gamecube games, all of my Xbox games, all of my Wii games, most of my PS2 games, a bunch of systems, all of my guitars, and a bunch of other random stuff.  By my initial estimate, they got away with almost $6000 worth of stuff, of course I'm sure it's probably more than that.

While all of that is pretty bad, I'm actually pretty relieved.  When they broke in, while they took a bunch of my possesions, that stuff should all be covered by the insurance company (Hopefully.  I'm sure I'll end up getting the bone a little bit).  I'm relieved because they were at least decent enough to not hurt my dog (He isn't even a year old yet).

I'll keep you guys updated if anything happens.  We filed a police reoprt and yesterday I gave them a list of everything that was stolen.  My girlfriend is going to go to our insurance company today to start the claim.  Thankfully RF Generation is around to help prove that I had the stuff that got taken.  I would have been screwed without it.

Damn man good luck with the insurance company.

Your also probably better off that they took your newer items, since they may have tried and reimburse you at a highly depreciated value for older games/systems.

Good luck and hopefully everything turns out for the best.

I was thinking the same thing. Glad your dog is OK. Keep us posted.

Best of luck to you and stop by some more.

Well hello everybody!  It's been what, 6 months since I posted here?  I have my reasons.  Mostly a combination of work and home stuff that keeps me from tackling the ol' internet.

Don't worry, that happens to me all the time, maybe not for quite as long though.

Man, that really sux, and a big reason why I wanted to sell my Saturn collection also, it's just too much of a liability. And like Izret101, older games and system will no doubt not be seen by the insurance company at the value they are worth. Hope you get a lot of that money back, but even then it doesn't make up for all your time and effort that went into making your collection.

Best case scenario, it would really be awesome if the crooks are found out before they get a chance to sell off any of your collection they stole. Keep a close eye on local second-hand stores and eBay. You can even let the local second-hand stores know now to keep an eye out for ya.

What @$$ wipes the people that stole that stuff are! The nerve of some people!

[den68]

people suck. one day they'll get what's coming to them.

hopefully you'll get enough to try and recover what they took. but damn, what a chore that will be. at least you know what's gone.

good news about your dog. much more important than a bunch of games.

[Tondog]

Buncha assholes those thieves are.

[shaggy]

Man, that sucks.  Good luck getting your stuff back and thank goodness the dog is alright.  Stay awhile, while you are here.

Thanks for the support everybody.  This isn't the first time I've had someone break into my house, but it was the first time since I got my own place.  At least I had some experience in the matter   .

But on to some good news!  I had a cop stop by my house this morning while I was getting ready for work, and apparently they caught the people that broke into my house!  They have one in custody, and warrants for two more people.  Best of all, the officer I talked to said he has pretty much everything that was taken back at the station!  I'm going to pick it up tomorrow after he finishes processing everything.  I'm hoping that he will actually be able to tell me who it was that broke in, because I think I might know who it was.  If it was who I think it is, oh the pain that I am going to deliver.

I can't believe how fast they got everything back.  I gave them the list of stuff that was stolen on Thursday and they got the bastards on Monday.  Here's a little hint to prspective thieves everywhere; if you are going to liquidate at a pawn shop, wait a week or two because there is a good chance the cops will be looking for you.

pwntastic!

I love when justice actually play's out.  Glad to hear you got your goods back.

[Tynstar]

Good news man not go get a baseball bat and take care of some things.

[Cobra]

Glad the best case scenario is how it all turned out.
Now make it so they can never steal again
