Have You Ever Been Robbed?

<div class="IPBDescription">Well I have..</div> Well this week I went up north to Alberquerque (spellcheck) New Mexico to help my friend move his stuff, and I was going to stay the night at the hotel.

I help him load up the uhaul, and I decide to take one of his 32"inch T.V's into the back seat of his car. Parked it at the hotel, and promptly watched pron and went to sleep.

I get a call 3:00 am saying my car has been broken into. Of course the tv is gone. I wasnt so mad about that. Mostly because it wasnt my T.V.

Then I find out my Purse aka Nike Sports bag with my CD's, CD player, Magazine, and wallet was stolen too. Luckily Im always broke, so no money was stolen, and I contacted all the banks and stuff so im fine. The 6 hour drive back south, I was getting over my stuff being stolen. Only to find my 55.00 shadow box frame, to frame my autograped cd was also stolen, and a 30 dollar art book I got for my mom.

    I got two. First time some bastard just breaks in and steals all the electronics. Later that year, the house burns down and before we can get back, someone goes into the goddamn smouldering ruins and steals whatever isnt ruined. Aint that a B.

    The only time I ever got mugged, I just got beatup, they didn't take anything, depite the fact that I had a lot of things with me. Which was just confusing.

    i wanta see someone try to rob someone (pick pocket) where i am living right now, its a little hick town in the middle of nevada and everyone has a few guns and being so small no robbings ever take place (like pick pockets)

    either

    A. said person would laugh at you taking it as a joke
    or
    B. said person would pull out a gun on you and send you packing(not very likely unfortunately)

    1) You should have tied the guns TO the jewellery, so when the 'wires' get 'tripped', the 'guns' get 'fired' into the 'robber'. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    2) That kind of sucks. Did you get your stuff back, and a nice jail cell/therapist for your brother? That, or a savage beating.
    3) That it does. But there are measures you can take to minimise the effectiveness of a robber, the likelihood of robbery, and the amount/cost of stuff stolen.

    It's a pity people only start becoming robbery-aware AFTER they get screwed over by the scum, and sometimes they still don't become intelligent about it. I hope you're taking measures to prevent this stuff in the future, and minimise losses. [MEDIC!]

    Not necessarily me, but my house.

    Money kept disappearing, in the thousands (I'm guessing HKD$1k is around USD$300.
    And we could never find out who it was. Even until this day.

    And someone stole my Gameboy before XD

    Yep, sucks to be robbed or stolen from XD

    Its times like this that I remember your extreme revulsion towards someones suggestion that stealing from your parents was okay because it would eventally be your stuff anyway....

    Now I knows the back story....

    Our House was torn up along time ago just afew little things taken.Then not too long ago my sister's apartment was broken into,they stole her sony playstation 2,all her dvd's,games,tv,vcr,computer.She called the police n stuff n it turnedout it was the kids that lived next to her that did it,she got her tv,ps2,computer,dvd's,vcr and games back.


    For being lockedout of my house I got that covered if I left my house key inside I can "open the front door with something other than a key in about 4 seconds lol " so I don't have to break a window,or bust the door down.


    Then I had a dream lastnight some guy broke into our house n just toreup everything n stuff and I just beat the living (censored) out of him,just kept bangin his head on the concrete floor etc. n that was the end of him lol.

    in my old apartment, I always lost my keys, so after about a year I used an ID or creditcard to open the bottom lock. (Swipe it) It was one of those twist locks from the inside, and I could shut the door. Amazing noone saw me using my school id to open my door, and not try to break in <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Wow I feel like such a loser. The only time I've been robbed was by my cousin when I was like 9 years old. He stole my 50 dollar watch.

    We were jumping on the trampoline when I noticed that he was wearing it. I got my revenge by telling his mom because she made him buy me a new watch and gave me the old watch back.

    Then (shortly afterwords - before he knew I told his mom) I brought out my boxing gloves and we had ourselves a boxing match! yay I win.

    That started off as people scratching their chins when someone said something that everyone thought was crap, then it evolved to "itchy chin" then "beard" then "beard on tash" then "beard on tash with a little bit of mash" then I left middle skool so i donno where it went from there.

    Either way I think communistwithagun was talking a load of crap about the sending broken flowers to the bloke in hospital an saying his fingers were next etc.

    I thought to "beard" someone was when you ask a really obvious question, they answer it and you stroke your beard (actual or imaginary) convincingly.

    V-Man, don't start with the America bashing! Guns are not bad.

    We recently had some break-ins in all the unlocked cars (why don't people lock them?!), but all the stuff was returned when the kids got too greedy and were busted. Years ago, when my parents didn't lock their cars, their van and car were burglarized, but only loose change and a CB radio we couldn't use (it or the antenna were broken) were taken. Not much crime in our area.

    Although, during that same break-in, the kids who robbed the cars got into a college girl's car and dumped all the perfume she had in there inside the car: on the seats, the floor - everywhere. It was said to be quite smelly in the car the next morning!
