Came home today, and find my apartment's been burglarized. We don't keep the grate over the kitchen window (by the fire escape) closed, and that window doesn't lock (yes, I know this is stupid, and yes, I should have known it would happen), so they waltzed in and grabbed 2 laptops, 2 digital cameras, and my roommate's brand new bike.

The burglar left a backpack on my bed with a Taking Back Sunday button on it. I was careful not to mess with it, and explained to the first 2 cops to arrive that it belonged to whoever broke in. One of them proceeded to go through it without gloves, rifling the pages of the several Chuck Palahniuk books and comic books within, before saying "I probably shouldn't have touched that." Sure enough, when the evidence team came by and I told them he touched everything, they said "oh yeah, then we can't use that." WTF? They got a print from the outside of the kitchen window, but it was obviously a kid, so he's probably not in their database.

They obviously left via the roof, and so chances are they live in a house on my block, on my side of the street. I'm thinking about flyering all of the buildings with a description of the contents of the backpack and offering a reward.

Gah. Time to blow a grand on a new laptop.

No, I don't have renter's insurance.

sucks. my parents house was robbed when I was in college by some fucking kids who stole my mom's purse from her classroom (a teacher, obviously), and it made me want to form a lynch mob. and they didn't even take expensive stuff like was taken from you.

but yeah dude, that sucks. do the flyers, offer the reward, and destroy that little bastard. not that it matters, but what floor do you live on? and yeah, get that renters insurance. it's come in handy for me when i've gotten a couple things stolen. and the cop being a dipshit is just salt in the wound

4th floor. My kitchen window was open, ergo definitely the point of entry, and so was the rooftop door, which can only open from the inside, ergo the getaway route.

or, if a parent is actually paying attention, they'll notice when their kid comes home with a new laptop or bike. flyer the hell out of your neighborhood.

sorry to hear that you were robbed. my first apartment was broken into (no renter's insurance, of course) and i can't say i ever fully got over it.

when my wife had her own place she got robbed and the dude took the time to empty out her water jug full of nickels and dimes and took that, in addition to the obligatory laptop, cd's, etc. fortunately they left they spared the cigarettes.

Holy fuck, I don't know how you're holding up; I know it's supposed to be just "possessions" but I'd be losing my fucking mind.

Really sorry to hear that. I'm making a Pringles duck beak for you.

Ultra suck. :(

I for one would be willing to send you a couple of bucks. If enough of us send you $$, you could replace something.

Just as a thank you for supplying the Obner.

Who's with me???? :banana:
