They managed to steal all those items, including a 37" TV, and you did not hear or wake up at all?

Also, close the back door next time ;)

And I'm sorry to hear about it :(
So far everything bad has happened to you hasn't it? :/

Well, the positive thing in the middle of all this dirty provocation of your sacred territory is you are not personally traumatised, attacked or molested. That would make things far worse. Now all you need to wash away is the bad taste of someone sneaking around your home, grabbing matter. You personal integrity is still in one piece**

Make sure you insurance does a richly rewarding!




*** no really, you are lucky. I have seen and heard horror.

It's a bad thing, but looking down that list all i could think was "you're really lucky"

All is well as long if you and your family is Okay. Maybe with all that money into electronics, why not buy a security system? :)

[QUOTE=Camaro';736815]All is well as long if you and your family is Okay. Maybe with all that money into electronics, why not buy a security system? :)[/QUOTE]i suggested that a couple of times, but my parents always said, "why spend £200 on something that probably wont be used. there are thousands of houses, why would our house be robbed"

Insurance?

From: mastaraymond
Insurance?

yes!
we have already phoned them up and we are just waiting to see what they reply with.
We are ensured up to £50,000 with £100 excess
so if it goes through ok, we have to pay £100 and they will hopefully give us about £6,500

ur rich…

believe me, im not rich…

its just we spend more stuff on games and electrical stuff than anything else

~shut

Damn that sucks :(
As others said, at least it was someone who could get in and get out without feeling the need to injure or kill the housemates. At least insurance + police going after them will help… though I heard police in the UK aren't great anymore.


So what's going to happen to your brother? Apparently if you leave a lock open… it can completely void your insurance, or at least what's what happened to my grandparents. The insurance company pins it on "owner stupidity". Not saying you or your family is stupid– thats how the insurance owners tag you to get out of paying you.

Rig shotguns above every door so when someone tries to come in it pulls the tigger and blasts them, great security system (like in SAW).

Seriously though, man that sucks. My girlfriend works in the insurance industry and the company that she works for would replace everything as long as you have a home owners insurance policy or w/e. No matter how it was stolen. I know I have my laptop and PS3 and some other electronics on a renters policy (since I rent) and it would be replaced under any circumstances (even if I break them [excludes wars]).

But like everyone else is saying, at least everyone is ok physically and you didn't have some sick minded freaks break in and make it a CSI situation.

Insurance pro-tip: claim 3 times as much as you lost, as they won't give you like 40 pounds per xbox game but more like 15 (as they are used and not new).

Im actually working for a alarm security company (we install them) and they are quite impressive. door magnets, infrared movement sensors also sends sms when something happens: I highly recommend it, you also feel alot safer when ur at home. Maybe something to discuss at home!

Protip: live in texas, set your alarm, keep your 12 gauge loaded.

We got robbed like 7 years ago. My dad had a realy though time back then (never felt safe after). We actually found the guy who robbed us by speeking to other robbed people that lived close to us, but there was not enough evidence to arest him. The guy stole a lot of our cash, we did not get much back.

Well hope you get much cash back but how the hell did you manage to spend that much money on game 0.0

It's horrible to get robbed. It happened to someone in my family - they lost cash, jewellery, their car, and other bits which were worth something. They felt so unsafe there that they moved house.

Hope it all turns around for you Shut, and that you get back what's yours, and the scum gets put away. Saying that, since you're in England as well, they'll probably get out of prison (in which they had a nice TV, Xbox, and PC) in a couple of months for good behaviour. Pathetic.

thanks everyone for the comments, i appreciate them

well when you spend between 35 and 40 for a game, it quickly adds up
maybe i should resort back to piracy
i can soft mod wii and xbox's and now i can do the same with ps3's due to PSFreedom

My friend bought a game pad and just downloads games on his PC :sasmokin:

sell your little brother into a prostitution ring for £7,000 for a year and come out ahead!
Just tell him it's his punishment. Slavery will work too.

Be gracious that you or your family were not harmed! Nothing could replace a lost family member.

Get a dog(a big one), it's a reliable and friendly security system. Unless you have something they really want, they most likely rob other house.

^^ my dog got pepper sprayed (Half newfie half lab, so big dog) when some guy tried to break into our house. He ran away right after haha. Totally irrelevant, just thought I'd say dogs work

and btw hay im sorry to hear this sad story, i can't imagine me getting robbed; and thank god your family is okay.

First off, that really sucks man. I mean, that really is truly unfortunate. The previous posts do show some insight on the fortunate circumstances of your misadventure. Your family all came out physically safe and not violated, aside from the obvious breach of property.

Yea, or live in Idaho. My 80+ year old grandmother used to sleep with a shotgun. (there was a bear bothering her stuff and she wasn't too appreciative of that). Personally, I currently have a bat at the foot of my bed, and a katar at the top.

Like previously mentioned, it is good to hear you are ok. Sorry bud.. Best to you with clearing this up.

That sucks, and you are lucky (that nothing worse happened), but all I can think of is how those criminals must have had some balls to rob a house when they knew people were inside asleep. That seems like a real good way to get killed the legal way to me, you rob a house like that around here and you have a REAL good chance to leave on a stretcher or in a body bag weighing more than you did when you came in due to all the lead in your body. Where do you live anyway?

In other words, you can't legally get a gun and you wouldn't legally be able to cut the intruders up with a knife anyway. Sucks man.

Wouldn't it be just as easy to install bars over your windows, and put a piece of lumber behind your door? I guess going through with all that stuff would give you other benefits, but securing your windows and doors would help a lot at much less then the cost.

Well.. What we have is when a door or a window, or when one of the IR cameras detect movement it sends a signal to a security team and/or the police. (when the alarm is ON)

Not entirely true. My dad's got a shotgun licence, and we've got 3 of them up the loft. Not the best place if an intruder comes along, but it's the law.

Alright alright, sorry shouldn't speak out of ignorance. I just know you guys have real strict firearm laws. But thats a whole another conversation.

You still can't use it to defend yourself or your home then. I sleep with all my guns near my bed, and a loaded pistol on my night-stand. I also have a concealed carry permit and carry a pistol almost everywhere I go, thankfully I've never had to use it and I hope I never do, but at least I have that option should I need to defend myself or my family.

you're fortunate to live in a town with relatively low crime rates, though. As am I, I live in Irvine, CA which a few years back had the 3rd lowest crimes rate in the US of a city with a population of over 85,000 people.

You've got to love the laws on guns in America :p

It's gotta be someone you know, no one else would have the knowledge… Get the cops involved and they shud get the fingerprints down, my friend got robbed recently too for $4000 worth of shit but he had insurance and it covered it.

well we called the cops, they came round and took finger prints

we havent heard anything so far

we called the insurance company and they called us back

they said we needed to find proof that we owned everything, boxes, pictures, receipts etc.

we got everything together and they came round and took a note of everything

got a call yesterday saying that the photos and boxes were not proof of ownership and we need to find receipts for every single purchase which is impossible

so its almost certain that we wont get anything

If they were bought with a credit card you can get the transaction record online(if you have online banking).

everything was bought with cash because my mum and dad dont like paying by card

~shut

Cancel your insurance, cause you're paying them for no reason lol.

this is why you should always keep receipts, it's a good idea to invest in some kind of container (they make some specifically for receipts). Store all reciepts in there (usually orgainized by date). keep it safe! (if it gets stolen you're double screwed). then you're good to go when the claims adjuster tries to deduct all your worth.

^ that actually is a good idea. I keep all my major receipts. I have my computer, printer, toaster oven, car, bike.. the like. =] so yea, I think it's a good practice.

And the only reason you live in such fear is due to the gun laws in America… I doubt you'd ever use that gun if someone was robbing/threatening you without one.

[QUOTE=Dan's The Man;740720]And the only reason you live in such fear is due to the gun laws in America… I doubt you'd ever use that gun if someone was robbing/threatening you without one.

I don't live in any fear at all, because I have the right to defend myself. In other countries where guns are illegal, criminals still have them and law-abiding citizens like myself are left defenseless.

I don't understand the last sentence, I'll use the gun any time I feel my life or my family's life is threatened. If someone breaks into my house I have every right to kill them.

[QUOTE=Dan's The Man;740720]And the only reason you live in such fear is due to the gun laws in America… I doubt you'd ever use that gun if someone was robbing/threatening you without one.
I honestly disagree with that statement. I have never met one person living in the US that was seriously scared about being shot because of gun laws in America.
Your last sentence, would you feel sorry for the robber and not shoot him because he doesn't have a a gun–while he's strangling your siblings? Or simply let him run away with $20k in stuff, just because he doesn't have a gun?
You sound like a liberal.

^ Well, how many people have you asked and in what counties/states/cities? I very much so have met a number of people who are concerned for their well-being because of USA gun laws. [don't over-generalize]

Yes though, I agree that I most certainly would do what it took to protect my domain and the domain of those I care for. That just might include defending myself or family members in such a way that is appropriate towards a hostile intruder. Especially against a zombie.

Haha you putit in words i couldn't have though of. Like "The" and "thing" and "integrity". But to be super serial, your defiantly right. I just like how you put it overall.

good news, the police just came round with a bag with some games in it
she asked us to verify if the games were mine.
they are and they have the person in custody for 6 other robberys

he goes to court on monday

so hopefully i should have all my stuff back in a couple of weeks

Why do you think you'll get it back? Surely the guy didn't keep it and sold it at a pawn shop or something right?

well as far as i am aware, they only bought the games because bringing £6.5k of stuff would be a big job, so they bought something small

i know exactly what you mean

he is in jail for 3 more months, then he goes on trial for my robbery

He'll probably get away with it, or if he gets sent back in jail he'll say it breaches his kids' human rights.

For those of you who don't know what I'm on about.

he is in jail for 3 more months, then he goes on trial for my robbery

K, make sure to use the money you used on your electronics for a lawyer, lol jk, anyways, hope you guys win, and get something out of it.

I have no self control. I would have killed him and burned his house down.

if that happened to me id laugh my ass off. what no fingerprints? and it seems it may be someone you know??? perhaps they drugged u as they know ur sleep patterns. and were able to do everything swiftly.
