I feel for you bro. I was in Estonia on a class-camp -thingy and we left for a museum for a while. When we came back, my Pringles-can and my left backup-shoe was stolen. Why did they the the shoe? The right one is useless now. I never got over it...
My "friend" stole my brothers iTouch, we used to play old NES games together then he robs us :smith:
Some years back I lived in this incredibly rural part of the UK where we'd have to take the bike 5 miles to the nearest bus stop to get to the town 5 miles further away where we'd take another bus for half an hour to the nearest school. - You get the picture. One time I come back and my room mate's bike had its back wheel stolen. She was fairly pissed off about this and I tried to be reasonable with comments like: "He probably desperately needs it," etc. That was right until we passed the river and saw it had been thrown down there, just right across from where our bikes had been parked and locked. I learned the very important lesson that some people just want to be assholes to a point where gaining a reaction doesn't matter. You were fairly lucky police even came over. When my sister had her apartment broken into the police never showed up they were just all "Oh, okay we'll look around." The thieves were obviously junkies though. They had walked past 3 laptops, 2 PCs, a 50 inch TV, a Playstation 3, smartphones and wallets and had just taken a camera, two boxes full of DVDs and games and had emptied the house for anything that looked like pills. Also they stole one wrapped up Christmas present, which happened to have been meant for me. :U
Someone stole my Hard Rock Cafe monopoly board.
Some twat stole my brothers bike outside of a large shop/ discount store, on the day I was working there. Unfortunately we don't have cctv on the front entrance (god knows why). But if I ever see a kid come into the store with that bike there fucked, the only way to get out is to walk past my checkout then head to the double glass doors that can be locked from the inside.
Well I used to go to this little cafe with my mom and brother on our bikes and one time we locked my brother's bike out of view of the window, my mom said to watch that bike, I figured no one would steal it so I didn't bother, then she tells me to check again and I look and it's fucking gone.
We were also robbed once, someone took alot of medication from our kitchen. but than we realised I was in the sleep and took them all. Later on we found the medication behind the television
[QUOTE=-Rusty-;34282405]Donno.. I guess it was the fact that I never thought it would happen to me and it was just so fucking random. I also had a little bit of alcohol in me too. Both my friends were looking at me like "wtf man" The reason why I got pistol whipped is because I tried to check if the guy even had bullets. He was holding a revolver. When he came up to us he said "Ok you know what this is... give us the money" and then puts the revolver right on my chest. Then he pulls it away while his friend searches us. While he's doing that I start looking at the gun to see if it's even real. He notices this and hits me in the side of the head with it and says "what you think this isn't real motha fucka?!" After they only get the $20 from us he gets mad and his friend tells us we better run before his angry friend(guy who hit me) decides to shoot us. Well we run and he shoots at us anyways. I don't understand why I was getting so many disagrees in that post.[/QUOTE] Because i seriously doubt you [I]laughed[/I] as a guy was shooting at you with a .38
My house was broken into not once, but 3 times. The first time happened when I was about 11 years old. It was late at night, and someone ( or several people) went into my house by lifting one of the sliding windows off of it's axis. As a guy that sleeps through missile alarms, I naturally kept on sleeping, but my dog barked like crazy. My mom woke up and asked my dad "why is lucky barking so much?" "calm down, she's probably having a bad dream or something". The next morning we woke up, the living room was a mess, and the only thing taken was 50 shekels that were left in the kitchen. The second time I was 13, and we came back from my Grandparents to find the lights in the house on. We went into the house, and saw two guys running in the back. By the time we got to the back, they already climbed over the fence and disappeared. The whole closet was messed up, with all the clothes thrown on the floor, but nothing more than that. My dad had a huge piece of meat in the fridge that he wanted to cook that day, so he did, and when the police officers came over and we offered them some they looked at us with this weird look as if to say- "You were just robbed. What the fuck are you doing." Anyway, again, even though we had loads of valuables outside (A TV, a camera, fucking Jewelry) they didn't take any of it. The third time happened when I was 14 or 15 years old. My parents and I came back from what I think was a wedding, to find the house in weird shape. It wasn't messy or anything, there were just several things that indicated someone went in- A semi-open window with black marks near the wall, indication someone must have climbed through it (we forgot to close it before leaving), and-how cute- my mom's handbag left on the door handle after the robber (or robbers) didn't find any cashmoney in it. Again, no valuables stolen. At first, I thought my small savings were stolen, but I found them several days later. What stopped the burglary spree? How come our house wasn't broken into a fourth time? Well, to explain that I first have to explain where I live. I live in southern Israel, in a city called Beersheba. Most of the burglars here are teenagers, most of them Bedouins from neighboring Arab villages. About 2-3 years ago, a new neighbor moved next to us. Coincidentally, he's Bedouin too, who moved from Rahat (a mostly Bedouin town) to Beersheba. He's a nice guy, and I've got loads of funny stories involving him, but i'll save that for another time. His cousin is a high ranking police officer in the southern area of Israel. Anyway, my neighbor had a beautiful yellow canary that he kept in a cage in his yard. One day, several people broke into his house, stole some pocket change, and took his canary. Now, as well as costing him a large sum of money, that canary was pretty important to the guy. So, with the help of his cousin, he tracked down the guys who took it, confronted them with his family and said (and i'm paraphrasing)-"I am not a violent man, but if I or my cousin see you or any of your friends near my street, may god help your sorry ass, because I sure as hell wouldn't." And from that day on, none of the houses on my street was broken into ever again. The End.
i have never been robbed wich is funny becouse my country has the highest crime rates(venezuela): D
I've never been robbed. And I live near a chav infestation.
My brother had a burglar in his old apartment. They/he/she/?? climbed through the window (ground floor) and only took his acoustic guitar that was in a closet. Pretty sure he had atleast something with bigger value than a guitar????

Did they take any of the PORN?!
Ow that sucks. Once when we lived in our previous house. My dad randomly decided to come home (he owns his own business so he comes and goes as he wishes) and once he got inside our home he heard a continuous loud banging noise. It was really close. He looks out the window to the backyard and notices a guy who is standing by the backdoor trying to break in. Not a professional criminal, but a bum or something. My dad yells at him and the guy shits his pants running around the house to the front. My dad meets him and the guy throws a sock at him and runs off, forgetting his bike. :v:
This is on a much smaller scale than a robbed house or U-haul or car, but my bookbag was stolen from me in Atlanta about a month ago. Had hundreds of dollars worth of text books in it, my macbook pro, and a new flip video camera I had bought a couple weeks before that. Never got any of it back, but I'm past it all now. Insurance covered the laptop. So, I'm sure reimbursement will be given if you have insurance. Seriously, emotions will go away and you'll overcome it all. It's easy.

We used to have one, and discovered that not only does it go off at the most random shit, people can bypass it in a matter of seconds. A lot of my neighbors had alarms, and not one stopped a burglary. As for locks, My front and back door have a lock. My windows are locked as well, but if you really want to get in you can just break them. Putting bars on the windows would make them ugly as shit, and they're also useless. I have personally viewed how, with only a screwdriver and a hammer, you can break bars in no less than 30 seconds. Alarms are bullshit. Don't fool yourself thinking that your house is completely safe if you have one. If you don't have someone actively paroling your house, someone will manage to get in with ease.

The one we have is tamper proof and the "brain" of it is hidden away in the attic, and only the control panel is accessible. And if that detects a attempt to tamper it, the whole alarm system goes off and also automatically dials a guard company. Not to mention motion detectors and magnetic door & windows sensors galore, and a backup battery that can power the whole system for 12 hours and also notifies both us and the guard company if there's a prolonged power outage. Oh and the system both dials over ordinary landline and using a built-in GSM modem.

Robbers come in, take whatever cash they find, and get out. Then what? Remember, in all of the burglaries (not just in my house, most people here) the robbers don't even bother with valuables, they go straight for money. I had (visible around the house) a camera, a TV, a laptop, a PC, Jewelry. They didn't take any of that, because it's too much of a hassle to sell. Getting an alarm would have been pointless and expensive. If i'm in the house, my dog will do just fine.

[QUOTE=Van-man;34295728]Get a safe that's bolted to the floor or built into a wall.[/QUOTE] As I've said (or I think I've said), we don't keep a lot of money in the house. We have a safe, which was used by my dad when he had a handgun, but he sold it years ago and the only use for it now is containing important documents (so that in case the house burns down or something like that, we can still salvage them).
Don't think I've ever been robbed. Well, once it came close... I was walking home with 2 other friends because we had to do a group paper, and one of them said right when we left the school "I have a feeling we're gonna get mugged..". I didn't really care. Then we arrived at my house, opened the door, I walked in, and then [i]just[/i] as they were about to walk in, some guy just appears out of nowhere and says "Give me your phones". One of my friends gives the guy his phone, then he suddenly walks away leaving me and my other friend with our phones in our pockets :v:
[B]Breaking News[/B] Apparently both my headphones and my xbox showed up at a local pawn shop...the guy who sold it to the pawn shop wasn't aware that it was stollen and i had no clue to who he was. So i have 3 choices of far (there was another but i forgot it..) 1. Press charges ont he dude, get a warrant and get my stuff back 2. Dont press charges, get him to buy it back then take it back from him 3. go further down the rabbit hole and see who exactly did the deed, then charge him and get my stuff back 4 is soothing to do with her asking the pawn shop for it back first, then finding who did it
[QUOTE=Zeke129;34272485]Someone stole a pile of gravel from my neighbour once.[/QUOTE] When I re-did my drive, I had some of the large cargo bags of sand delivered. Somebody stole a SINGLE shovelful, just one clean shovel right out of it. Those bastards.

one day i was in school, And set down my bag of DS games for five minutes. Some jack ass stole them all, Bag too. I walk in the next day and he claims he "Found" them in a place where i never even go, and that i probably "Misplaced" them. I broke 2 of his fingers before the teachers even noticed what i was doing... Best part was that one of the teachers said he saw my reasoning in breaking is fingers, So that he couldn't steal again. Then he moved to Florida or something because his parents thought I was crazy and was going to attack him again.

I used to live in downtown Cleveland. We moved out and the day after we moved out that house was robbed. Since we had taken everything with us all they took was a trash can that we had left. Those fuckers.
