Came home from the Red Sox game...

Road King Cole

Road King Cole

God
Last friday night, came home from the sox game (went with my son), got home past 12 am (way past my bedtime). My wife had taken our dog earlier in the morning and was visiting friends in Maine. I noticed the front door open (storm door closed). I thought, how could she leave the door open like that???


So I go in our house and notice my 50 inch TV is missing, stereo and all on the floor:

(sorry for the poor picture, wife took the good camera-good thing)

:cen::cen::cen::cen::cen:

Then I check out the bedroom, air conditioner pushed in on the floor, ALL of the wife's ***elry cases open and empty!

A very nice office came and checked it all out and then called the county sheriffs to come and look for prints and take pictures. He was out front and he yelled "found your TV"! Sure enough, it was there in a little wooded path we have (we have a horseshoe driveway and the middle is wooded).

OK, so they took our playstation 3 with a couple controllers, a few HDMI and audio cables (I think they were planning on taking my whole system), box of change on my bureau, and ALL of my wifes ***elry. The ***elry thing is big, she had thousands of good stuff and lots of sentimental hand me downs.

Still pissed, and violated...but it's all material...

And they could have taken a lot more...

Time for a home security system I guess. Simplisafe is looking good.

it does feel like being violated. Some one egged my wife's car the night of July 4th. My wife was peod about it, I told her until we buy enough property for me to build a wall, fence it in, and set up an outside surveillance system, this is what living in a neighbor hood is about( I wanted to move out in the country)
 
The whole thing sucks. I feel for you. Nothing worse, leaves you with the knot in yer gut. You can't stay at home and protect your stuff 24/7 and the little thievin SOBs never rest until they get pinched and go to the slammer for which we all pick up the tab.

Umm, sorry, I was trying to make you feel better. Their day will come. Believe in that...
 
take solace in the fact that one day, this little piece of sh!t is gonna stumble upon the wrong house and WILL be removed in cuffs or in a bag.
happened in my house.
 
Hate that for you RKC. It is something I worry about constantly. Not really because I have anything worth taking, it is just the fact that someone would have the nerver to break into my personal space. I keep a machete beside my bed. It will allow me to hack my way to the gun safe. I pity the fool that tries while I'm there. :beer:
 
Well, I ordered the alarm system through simplisafe. I like that it is self install, inexpensive(270) and only 15 a month for monitoring and I can activate and de-activate the monitoring. As my dog (when home) is great security, will only need the monitoring when the dog is away.

We had a recommended by friends\buisinesses company come in last night who is supposed to be far cheaper than the leading security companies. It was 700-900 for equipment and installation, 25 a month for monitoring, need to sign 1 year contract.

Right now I would really like to get all my wifes ***elery back...

RKC,

So sorry for the violated domain.

Right now I would really like to get all my wifes ***elery back... Start checking out pawn shops local and neighboring towns and also gold recycle places. I do believe it's law that anyone who pawns/recycles must show proof of ID or current drivers licence. I know they busted two scumbags in East Hartford who were breaking into homes around here in the Northeast part of Ct.
 
That really sux and I 'm really sorry to hear about the violation that you have suffered. As a previous cop for 7 years here in Florida, I know it's law here to show ID if you pawn something. It doens't always happen in some of the shady places. If I were you, I would continue to look at the pawn shops, but if you do come across some of her ***elry, DO NOT tell the people working in the pawn shop. Instead, go outside, call the local authorities, and have them come over and deal with it. If not, and they aren't completley legit, it may disappear before you get a chance to recover it. Good luck in finding it brother.

Great point.

and yes, shops require an ID and have a holding period before they can sell it.
