I got robbed last night... Need to Vent

[mnpctech]

Wife calls me @ work to tell me garage door was open when she left for work this morning. They got the automatic door to open!

List of what they took :rant:

SONY Bookshelf Stereo (hope you enjoy the one working speaker asshole)
All my CDS including "The Wiggles" my 2.5 yr daughter's CD checked out from Library (what a desperate Mofo!)

$1 bill from my Blazer's center console (take your crackhead friends out to dinner with that!)

12V DC Power invertor

Black & Decker Jigsaw (which I needed tonight)

Thats what I discovered so far. Luckily I keep my car's tools out of sight, none the less, they turned over every stone. Even went through the race car which has no stereo and gutted interior (MORON!)

The Jigsaw is only item pissing me off cause it was only modding tool I've left in garage

[Starbuck3733T]

What a bunch of motherfuckers. They get in, don't find shit, and they still manage to make off with something useful to YOU but probably not to THEM.

CALLING ALL MEMBERS: TIME FOR THE WiZD BRUTE SQUAD (WBS) to KICK SOME ASS.

Let me know if you need anything man, seriously.

[Knipex]

Knipex reporting for duty.


Which ass do you want kicked first SIR.:rant:

[mnpctech]

Thanks guys:wub:

Looks like were gonna pull out pwr cord to automatic door opener from now on after we're home

I just ran over to Home Depot and picked up another Black&Decker Jigsaw for $29.99.. It now has side caddy for holding extra blades. Theres one shining light out of this :mellow: :(

The Wiggles?! That was actually a favor :lol:

[Darv]

That really sucks!! Have you got insurance to replace everything?

I hate scum who think they have the right to do things like this!! :rant:

[dutchcedar]

Son of a bitch, that sucks. Even if they get nothin', they've been there... friggin' bass turds.

Ya need a jigsaw with a bullet holder, not a blade holder... :rant:

[mrplow]

UL man. I was gonna say it was punishment for being so lazy as to have an electric garage door opener, but I decided that was a little insensitive so I won't :)

:o

[scopEDog]

Oh man sorry about that Bill. I've been robbed before so I know how you feel. Look at it this way, nobody was hurt and you picked up some new stuff...and buying a new tool is always good :)

[Starbuck3733T]

*begins thinking about TripleDES encrypted garage door opener project*

[mnpctech]

I was gonna say it was punishment for being so lazy as to have an electric garage door openerIts a 2.5 stall with solid wood sectional door. Its impossible for my wife to open door manually alone.

[mrplow]

Fair enough :lol:

:rolleyes:

[Starbuck3733T]

Its a 2.5 stall garage w/ solid wood sectional door (http://www.mnpctech.com/84GLIB4.jpg). Its impossible for my wife to open door manually alone.
heh. I had something like that when I lived in Texas. We had no garage door opener, so that was the beginning of weight training for me!

[mnpctech]

Its not actually wood, its man made composite that weighs even more. Name eludes me.

anywho, found out one of my neighbors got busted into also w/ auto door.

Thanks for all the kind words gang

[iduktech]

Sorry to here about you getting robbed! you want to get yourself some bf dog's the bastards wont come near your house then!

[Nexxo]

Automatic garage door? Mod it. I'm thinking spikes, flame thrower, snake pit...

You know, the usual stuff.

[////\oo/\\\\]

You know, the usual stuff. :lol: :lol:

[Starbuck3733T]

Sorry to here about you getting robbed! you want to get yourself some bf dog's the bastards wont come near your house then!

yes, but then the rabid dogs might eat his kids. no good there.

Mastiffs and Great Danes are very NICE dogs (lazy, kind, and generally agreeable) and if a burglar would happen to see or hear it bark (which is EXTREMELY loud) they'd head for the hills real quick.

The missus and I want to get a mastiff or a GD when her keeshond passes on, I try to love that dog but he just can't stop getting into trouble (eating kyra's toys, getting into the garbage, stealing food from the table when no one is looking). We had best train the huge dog not to do that, or he'll do it any chance he gets. I like my parents dogs: bassets. short enough not to get into much trouble! But when they start barking at you they do sound rather large!

[Nexxo]

I just keep a bunch of football hooligans in my cellar. Feeding them is not a problem: just chuck them a few sixpacks and some burgers every day. And when a burglar comes a'knockin', they don't bark, but chant:

"You're gonna get your f*ckin' head kicked in!... You're gonna get your f*ckin' head kicked in!..."

Ace deterrent. :D

[Fibbles]

Back when we used to have a working alarm (it's useless since all the burglers in the neighborhood have gone to college or have bene arrested) it went off one day while I was still sleeping, and the alarm company had called the police. I went to the front door and the cop wouldn't come in, on account of my G. Shedpard/Collie mix (she's since died :() snarling and growling at him. Plus, the door platform is elevated about 6" higher than the rest of the house and the dog looks a lot bigger. The dining room is also a bit higher, so when the dogs go to check out what's going on, they (G. Retriever/Chow and Rotty/Chow/Greyhound) look a lot bigger than they are, which usually scares off everyone.

I've never been robbed before either, my family has always had, at least, 1 big dog and 1 little dog (a Pug is usually the little one).

Sorry you had to experince it though. :mad:

[Da_Rude_Baboon]

Its a 2.5 stall with solid wood sectional door. Its impossible for my wife to open door manually alone.Just what you need to keep women out of the garage! ;)

Sorry to hear about the robbery though M8. My gf came home from 2 weeks offshore last year to find we had been burgled. The bastards had only been in the house for 5 minutes and they went away with £4000 worth of stuff. :rant: Annoying thing is they probably sold it all for £20. The insurance replaced it all with better stuff then i had before but its still annoying that you work hard to get the things you want then somone just comes in and takes it cause they are too lazy to get a job themselves. :mad:

There was a thing in the paper here recently were a guy heard a noise outside and realised there was 2 burglars in his shed stealing his tools so he called the cops. The cops said they didnt have any officers available at the moment and someone would be around as soon as they could. The guy phoned up a minute later and told them there was no rush cause he had just shot them lol. 2 minutes later there was several police cars a van and a helicopter at his house and they caught the burglars lmao! :lol:

That old urban myth ;)

[Fibbles]

I was watching the Montel show. The feature was "Life -Saving Animals". One of the stories has a pair of burglers who went in thru the garage, but the owner arrived home early and pulled into the garage. They held her up at knifepoint and then, her 600lb pig attacked one guy, by biting into his ankle. Needless to say they both ran away screaming, well, one guy was dragging his buddy while both screamed.

Not true is it? :unsure:

Its definetly a tactic i would use if i got burgled again and they said they were too busy. I'd just tell them i'd twatted him over the head with a golf club ;)

They would probably come and arrest you for wasting police time and leave the burglars to it :rolleyes:

[mrplow]

That's kinda what I was thinking.

If a crap load of police turned up and it was just some pikey nicking your lawnmower, they'd probably be pretty pissed off at you. <_<

[Da_Rude_Baboon]

It would be a hard one for them to prove. A crime was being comitted so i dont really see how they can say you were wasting their time.

[Darv]

Yeah but nowerdays they seem to want to prosecute people who try and stop burglars and then give compensation to the actual criminal.

What disgusts me is when a burglar tries to sue for loss of earnings! :rant:

[mrplow]

Let's just hope the judges stay sensible and keep chucking those idiots out of their courts.

I like the way the law in this country is basically still governed by grumpy old men in wigs and not twats in suits inventing new ways to claim compensation for stupidity.

[mnpctech]

Well, I might mount a sign on garage door stating "protected by Smith & Wesson"


Heres my Watch Dog. Alseep on the job as usual :rolleyes:

[Starbuck3733T]

what a cute beagle! Jen would love it, she had a beagle before she got mr. stupid, who is actually her ex's dog. he decided he wasn't home enough to take care of the dog, so she got him.

[fivecheebs]

Very cute dog :)

Sorry you've had to go through that. Good luck with recovering the property.
