I was enjoying a lovely weekend away out on the sea, only to come home to find the front door wide open. The little shits took all my booze, my computer, some jewelery and the brand new goddamn car. All my work from the last year is gone. I had two HUGE fucking essays I had just finished that are due tomorrow. Gone.

The cops showed me photos of the car. It's... ugly. A burnt-out chassis, some molten slag and the engine block, found in a vacant lot. Some little trailer trash cunts had some fun.

Oh, and they took a jar of change that had like fifteen dollars in shrapnel in it, but missed the five hundred dollar wad of cash lying next to it under a paper weight. Fucking idiots.

The whole job was really amateurish. They took all the cheap jewelery and left the expensive stuff (idiots), and spent quite a while trying to break into a money box that was empty in the first place. The cops took some decent prints and a footprint but these snotty little kids likely don't have a record. I guess the insurance will cover it all, but it won't rewrite all the shit on my computer.

Happy Easter!

Condolences.

I'm sure the university will ease up once you show them the police report.

Did they steal anything that could amount to identity theft, like your checkbook or sequential checks out of your checkbook?

Dern. I can tell you from personal experience that that feeling when you come home and find your door kicked in is among the worst ever.

The essays are the worst part...jesus.

Chin up, mate: at least they didn't stick around to stab you with your own steak knives.

you have jewelery?? :D

sucks dude. have a run through some of your local pawn shops to see if you can gather any of your stuff there.

i'm sure your school will be understanding of this situation. shame you'll have to go through that again though.

if you need any music, this is your place. just ask.

Grandfather's gold Breitling watch (which they didn't take, but stole the shitty day to day one I wear lying next to it. Clearly kids. "What is Breitling? I don't know man, let's take this Citizen, I've heard they're good..."), lots of silver & gold i inherited that I don't wear, crucifixes, etc, etc.

They didn't touch any of my instruments, didn't even open the cases. I'm looking after my sister's 12 000 dollar violin while she's in London till next year, so thank the fucking Lord these kids didn't have a clue what they were doing. I just can't believe they missed the stupid wad of cash sitting (naively) on my desk....

That's seriously some fucked up shit, Mick. But what I don't get is -- why steal a brand new car only to set it on fire in a lot?

I'm still having a hard time with this. WTF???

That's really awful, man. I agree that, even as messed up as the car thing is, the worst is losing your computer and everything on it.

Maybe they're nihilists?

Car theft just doesn't happen very often in this part of the country. It's impossible to on-sell the car without making a lot of noise, and just as impossible to sell any of the parts, especially when it's a brand new car. They'd instantly get caught. No one could be bothered even fucking around with it.

Though, is there anyway I can locate my macbook the next time it connects to the internet or something, anyone? Or am I getting a little far-fetched here?

They left the fridge and dishwasher doors open too. What the fuck?

Maybe they were just fucking hungry?

And even more baffling is that they stole two fifteen dollar bottles of wine from the beer/wine fridge, a sixer of cold beer, a couple of bottles of mid-priced red, but left the bottles of moet and veuve clicquot that I just got given.

I would sleep easier I think if I was systematically cleaned OUT, not this weird hodge podge of complacent half-assed crime. It makes me...uneasy.

I've heard of software that does this - kinda like a loJack for PCs, but it needs to be installed prior to the theft. :wink:

I know how shitty that feels. This won't help you now, but I've learned from experience to backup important work like this. There are online services like Carbonite that will do it automatically, or you can get a USB drive to take with you.

Here's hoping they catch the little buggers.

Horrible news. Hope you can recover at least some of the stuff.

Also--it was probably done by violence-addicted Americans with guns. :D

Yep. Pretty much horrible. My sympathies Mick. These people deserve to have their hands cut off and then REALLY punished.

I got jacked my last year of college and it was terrible. The worst part was that I did some amatuer detective work (because the local police basically just wrote up a report and said "tough break kid") and had a ton of circumstantial evidence on a suspect to at least warrant a couple of inquiries by the detectives and they did nothing.

I still hold a grudge against cops to this day over it.

Man, this has to be the worst shit posted on Obner since Bloor's carjacking.

I don't know what's worse - losing all this shit, especially the computer, or what happeneed to me 3 weeks back (losing just your cell phone, but being sent to the ER). I mean, I healed up ok and work is replacing the cell phone (sloooooowly), but he's gonna be re-writing that shit for a long time probably.
