Because I walked in on one of them cracking open our coin operated laundry machines one night/they constantly hit up my apartment building parking lot around the 1st and 15th of the month (new tenants that don't think to lock their doors), and I caught a story in the newspaper not long after I moved out that they had been caught, and many things that had been stolen, recovered from a crackhouse they were staying in. walgreenslatino posted:Somebody stole my credit card this weekend and all they used it for was buying game time at Dave & Busters Sorry.

The gently caress are you doing wearing a coat today, it's like a thousand degrees in most of America today?

One time I fell asleep on a train and when I woke up my Sony Discman that had been on the armrest was GONE (this was quite a few years ago obv) Another time some people stole our garage door opener from our car when my idiot brother-in-law left it unlocked, joke was on them though because we weren't parked anywhere near our house so the opener was useless Also got mugged in Saigon by the world's worst mugger who got the chump change from my wallet but didn't even spot my money belt These are my stories

About 12 years ago I had bought a beautiful old house in an area that was about halfway through the gentrification process. It was about 70% gay folks, and 30% impoverished "ghetto". I absolutely loved that house, but the neighborhood got the best of me and I sold after a few years and moved to the country. The house had a huge front porch, so when I moved in I went to Pier 1 and bought a 10-piece porch furniture set. Chairs, tables, porch swing, that sort of thing. Within a week, it was gone. It's one of the few times I can honestly say I've snapped. I loaded in my car and drive around the area for 2 hours, until I saw my set on someone else's porch. I called a police officer friend of mine and begged her to come meet me with her badge and gun and help me get it back. She talked me down and talked me into going back home, as there wasn't much to be done given the circumstances. Another time I took 2 very old Israeli ceramic pots and planted some decorative trees in them. The pots were huge and were my grandmothers, and with the trees and dirt they had to weigh 100 pounds apiece. I put them out at 9am, and when I checked the mail at 11am they were gone. Everyone in the neighborhood told me "don't leave any plants or flowers on your porch anywhere near mothers day, they'll disappear". I suppose I am too trusting in people.

Oh, and a metal dog bowl. I always wonder how much money someone gets when they fence goods like that. Like did the payoff make it worth the effort? criscodisco posted:About 12 years ago I had bought a beautiful old house in an area that was about halfway through the gentrification process.

twofive1 posted:I'm sorry your plants were stolen Lol I suspect sarcasm, but I was just upset about the pots they were in, not the plants. I had only brought it up because it amazed me that two very heavy planters were stolen in broad daylight while I was home. Shame about the $600. There's nothing quite like the horrible feeling of having been burgled.

I was being sincere. Just planted some sunflowers today. It did dip into my emergency fund a bit, but at least everything was recoverable and there was no serious fraud or car theft. And now I have a new phone

Yes, I did. I've barely figured out how to use it.

Download the Awful app. It's much more convenient to post from/read.

Worst burglary I've dealt with was a crew busting the window next to my front door to unlock it. They came into the house & instead of taking my big screen TV, home theater poo poo, game systems, or laptops, they stole several airsoft guns. I figured they thought they were real, but I was amazed they didn't take the real ones. I guess a basic hunting rifle ain't as cool as a replica M4A1.

In high school my girlfriend (lol) had her car broken into and it had her money pouch from a night waitressing in it. The clear pouch had ~$100 in it and was in her passenger seat. Instead they popped the trunk and stole her makeup bag.
