Fuckers broke into my house!

[Leesifer]

I couldn't get in tonight because it seemed like the latch on my lock had locked itself. Called a locksmith who got me in.

Some fuckers have broken in through the conservatory. Took out a window. Loads of drawers open - but nothing taken except my Amazon delivery of the last Pirates dvd.

Waiting for the police now.

Fuckers!

[Ensign Steve]

So you're saying that you paid a locksmith to let you into your house when you could have gotten in thru the same broken window the theives got in through? :duh:

Oh, also, sorry about the burglary. :badday:

[cappuccino]

Oh no, man that blows chucks. I can't imagine what it feels like having your private space so violated.

It makes me nervous about my own place.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Neighbourhood kids. To be sure, you should probably eliminate all of them.

:hug:

[ms_ann_thrope]

Oh Leesifer, how rotten! Glad to hear that they don't appear to have gotten away with much loot, but nonetheless the feeling of violation must be lousy. :hug:

I hope there were no spare sets of keys around for them to take? :shiftier:

[Leesifer]

I'm so fucking angry at the moment. Can't see me sleeping much tonight and I don't really want anyone to come over - I'm just not in the mood.

[Leesifer]

Oh Leesifer, how rotten! Glad to hear that they don't appear to have gotten away with much loot, but nonetheless the feeling of violation must be lousy. :hug:

I hope there were no spare sets of keys around for them to take? :shiftier:

Oh the spare set of keys are still hanging up on the hook. Fucking amateurs too!

[livius drusus]

In the conservatory, you say? I bet it was that bastard Professor Plum with a wrench.

Okay srlsy, that blows, Lees. I felt violated when someone stole my backpack out of my locker in high school. I don't even want to imagine how much a break-in screws with your peace of mind. :badday:

[ChuckF]

That sucks, lees. Damn kids!

Oh no, man that blows chucks.:eyebrow2:

[Smilin]

hmmmm...they broke in but all they took is one DVD?

Fuckin' bastages!
:leeshug:
Sorry to hear about that my friend...

Have you checked that all of your underwear is accounted for? Hey, you never know with these kiddo pervs these days!:cheerup:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Let me know when Frenchy's undies are on eBay. Thanks.
:psst:

[Leesifer]

I'll send you your very own pair for sniffing, Uth, don't you worry.

[Watser?]

That sucks Lees, even though they hardly took anything, I can't imagine how much it sucks to have your home invaded. :comfort:

[Leesifer]

It sucks! Believe me.

Oh, and I've just seen that they kicked the toilet around a bit. WTF?

It's all at an angle - I hadn't been into the bathroom yet tonight.

[Sock Puppet]

Aw, I'm sorry, Lees. At least it was amateur twits rather than professional creeps, but that still sucks and blows. :comfort:

[Crumb]

That sucks, Leesifer. :leeshug:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I'll send you your very own pair for sniffing, Uth, don't you worry.

They were going to be for this year's Secret Santa! :glare:

[ITSOZAZ]

that's a bummer :(

[Chris Porter]

That's awful, been there myself, but had much more taken. Um, didn't note some stuff that went missing at the time-you might want to keep checking. Had the same experience, front door was latched when I tried to open it. Backdoor had been broken into, however.

[Naru]

I'll send you your very own pair for sniffing, Uth, don't you worry.

They were going to be for this year's Secret Santa! :glare:

You should probably get her a new toilet instead.

[Leesifer]

Oh I've just noticed - they took my two work laptops. Fat lot of good that'll do 'em. Wankers!

[LadyShea]

When it happened to me years ago, in an apartment, the front door was left wide open and the immediate problem was that my dog was missing (took two days to find him). They took a 600.00 (at that time) camera, and hubby's stash of Playboys. Neighbor kid for sure, but the police didn't compare the perfect shoe print on my bedrail or actually investigate in any way.

It's an icky feeling to be sure.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I'll send you your very own pair for sniffing, Uth, don't you worry.

They were going to be for this year's Secret Santa! :glare:

You should probably get her a new toilet instead.

Well now you've just ruined the whole gift, asshole! :glare:

ETA: :hug: :hug: :hug: for Lees.

[Adam]

Well, that blows. Glad to hear they only stole work's expensive toys, and not yours, though.

[Farren]

I know how it feels, Lees. Two nights ago someone broke into my car and stole my radio, then opened the boot and stole my CD shuttle. I hardly ever listen to anything when I drive, but its the principle, y'know.

[Ari]

That sucks.

You should totally start setting up traps home alone style. That way those bastards will have an imprint of a door handle or brain damage for life. :)

[Leesifer]

Oh wait! I meant to "thank" everyone! But didn't. Hah! I'm in a bad mood so you can shove your thanks.

[JamesBannon]

Lees :squeezle: Sucks something awful and you've every right to be in a bad mood.

[viscousmemories]

I had a house in Michigan and an apartment in Chicago burlgarized in the same year.

Sorry Lees. :hug:

[godfry n. glad]

As has been said, that blows chunks.

We haven't had much problem since the neighborhood went "Crime Watch". A local rental in the neighborhood was the scene of a auto theft "ring" (a teen whose boyfriend, and his thug friends, had terrified the mother into keeping her trap shut). That, plus several homes in the immediate vicinity are "home occupations", so we have eyes on the neighborhood most of the time.

This, of course, has not stopped the "opportunity" thieves from stealing the wicker couch from my next door neighbor's front porch. But, being a good 10'-15' above the public walkway, with no drive, and exceedingly difficult to move anything heavy or bulky, certainly aids the burglar resistance of my home. Plus, now we have a roomer who's there when we aren't.

Do you know your neighbors? It's possible you know them well enough that you don't want to know them any better, but, if it's possible, acquainting yourself with the neighborhood snoop can be a big boon to your security....if they know who's supposed to be there and who's not.

I'm sorry to hear that your security was breached and your most intimate environment besmirched. It does sound like a quick breakin' n' enterin', grab quick goodies and get the hell out. Pure amatuer hour.

[Shelli]

I'm so sorry, Lees. :=( It's an aweful, sick feeling, I know. :snuggles:

[Ymir's blood]

Sorry to hear of this, lees. Hope the police can catch the creeps. :(

[curses]

Aww Lees, I'm sorry. :leeshug:

They didn't even take the stilettos? Some people have no taste.

[Leesifer]

Of course they didn't take the stilettos. mr curses still has them. :glare:

[curses]

Well glad we had them. For safekeeping, you know.

[Leesifer]

Update!

Yes, I'm still waiting for either the police or scenes of crime people. It's gone 1:00 a.m here now.

[Shelli]

That so blows, Lees. :hug:

[Leesifer]

OMG! I can't even begin to tell you how fucking angry and upset I am right now.

I logged the call 5 fucking hours ago. No response. I've had 2 calls back from the police after I chased them at least 4 times.

I can't secure my house. My mum is trying to sleep on my sofa.

And the last call they were all "oh, well, somebody should have kept you informed". "We've had a number of emergencies". Translate that to kids being pissed in the town centre and fighting. And I called him on that and he hummed and hawed about it.

Fuck me! I live on my own. A whole window has been removed. Fuckers!

[SharonDee]

Geez, bad enough the vulnerable feeling such a break-in leaves you with. But the police are complete idiots, too? Man!

I'm sorry this sucks so hard, Lees. :squeezle:

[Plant Woman]

Oh man, I feel for you Lees. I hope when they are done chasing cryin' kids in the town square that they go after your perps.

Crap! Insult to injury.

[freemonkey]

:unglomp: so sorry, Lees, what an awful experience for you.

As much as I can't stand my crazy dog, I know no one's coming in my house when she's around.

[One for Sorrow]

Well, crap. I was going to say that I hope they catch the little assholes, but they haven't even started looking yet. :sigh:

I am sorry, Lees. :leeshug:

[Leesifer]

Well, hooray! I had a visit from 2 policewomen. They took down some details and the scenes of crime people will be here sometime tomorrow.

I am at the end of my tether now. It's nearly 2:30 a.m. and I still have a missing window and a kicked in wooden door securing my house from the back garden.

Yay me!

Could my luck get any better? I mean, the last few years have been just GREAT!

[Plant Woman]

Could my luck get any better? I mean, the last few years have been just GREAT!

:hug:

[Chris Porter]

Oh, gee, that is really, really awful. Could the two of you sort of spell one another, set up a watch while the other one sleeps?

[vremya]

I'm sorry Lees - that totally, totally blows.

[Bella]

I'm so sorry, Lees :(.

I'm curious as to how the officials categorise who gets their attention in what order...

[godfry n. glad]

Yeah...I know the feeling.

In the last five years, I lost my wife to cancer, had the bank which carried my mortgage try to gouge $16,000 out of me, got booted off II, twice booted off HH, accused and disciplined for "sexual harrassment" at work, diagnosed with Type II diabetes and then hypertension, disciplined for doing my job and a patron lying about me, censored at work, and laid off after a fellow employee with less seniority was promoted to protect him (and then rehired after the death of my good friend and coworker). Now that my supervisor retired, I've been treated with having the supervisor, with whom I went hammer and tongs with over contract details five years back, elevated to being my present immediate supervisor, and left hanging at the bottom of the seniority ladder with the institutional CEO announcing staff cuts of 15%-20% in the upcoming year.

Fuckin' fun, ain't it?

Thankfully, I have not yet been mugged, shived, shot, or burgled. And I still have health insurance through my employer.

[godfry n. glad]

I'm so sorry, Lees :(.

I'm curious as to how the officials categorise who gets their attention in what order...

No personal attacks. No injuries. Minimal property loss or damage. They'd probably rate it pretty low here in the US.

[California Tanker]

In fairness, you could have been a lot worse off. Bernard Dwyer hit the news today in court in London in the trial of three people who burgled his house. They were believed to have killed a woman in a burglary the previous night. Mr Dwyer is not a small gentleman, and defeated all three in hand-to-hand combat, thus was better off than Helen Chung.

NTM

[Caligulette]

I am very sorry, Leesifer. Totally ridiculous response time.

[Angakuk]

So sorry that you are having to go through this Lees. We had our home burgled about 20 years ago. They kicked in the front door and took all the high-end electronics (which meant they didn't even touch the Apple IIe). The feeling of vulnerability that such an experience engenders is simply awful. Nevertheless, you will survive this too, because you are strong.

[Stormlight]

That sucks, Lees. :( And yes, that response time is outrageous.

[Leesifer]

Thanks everybody!

So, I've had a community policeman round to ask some questions to see if they can link it in with the other burglarys that have happened recently. Apparently, there've been quite a few!

I've also had scenes of crime people round. They found one glove print which is useless.

At least now I can tidy up and sort out getting the window replaced.

[ceptimus]

:cheerhug:

Are you sure nothing else is missing? If the little bastards broke into my house, I'm sure that they would be able to nick lots of stuff that I might not miss straight away.

Hope you can get your window sorted out soon. Apart from the security concerns, it must be cold. :shiver:

[Leesifer]

I haven't noticed anything else missing, cep.

The window leads onto the conservatory, so it's not too cold - in fact, luckily, it's quite mild today.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I've been feeling hooliganish lately anyway, so soon's I win the lottery, I can come over, find out who the perps were and go after them with a bat. Then we can get hammered and play WoW.

:hug:

[Leesifer]

Heh! I'd LOVE that, Uth. Hurry up and win.

:glomp:

[Legs]

Oh I've just noticed - they took my two work laptops. Fat lot of good that'll do 'em. Wankers!

We were burgled a few years ago and for days we were discovering things missing - it was hard to spot what was gone immediately. They even took Widget's electric razor, which he noticed the next morning.

Sorry you're going through all this Lees :closehug:

[Pinecone]

I've been feeling hooliganish lately anyway, so soon's I win the lottery, I can come over, find out who the perps were and go after them with a bat. Then we can get hammered and play WoW.

:hug:


OOowh! I see a hole in this plan. Uth will need to take me with him, and I shall bury their sorry corpses in the garden whilst you two are getting stewed and playing WoW. Then place a sign on you back window. "Go ahead and break in my little pretties!! I've got a surprise waiting just for you!"

:burns:

:unicut::unknife:

[livius drusus]

I like it! There's a musical in there somewhere. :highfive:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I like the idea of hoisting their corpses on spears in a row along the front of the garden.

[Leesifer]

I so need to get a robotic Richard Simmons.

[wei yau]

Or dogs with angry bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot the angry bees at the scumbags.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Clearly the burglars were foreigners, no true Brit would do this to one of their own.

Personally, I suspect Watser?

[Uthgar the Brazen]

:yup:

[Dragar]

That really sucks, Lees. :hug:

But I'm very glad you're okay, and so little appears to have been stolen.

[Watser?]

:caught:

[JamesBannon]

Hey! Watser?'s an honorary Scot, even though he does live in "flatland" :giggle:

[Leesifer]

Watser? Give me back my dvd. You can keep the laptops.

[Goliath]

Fuck! I'm sorry to hear about the break-in, Leesifer. :(

That's reason #N (for a very large N) why the Castle Doctrine ought to be enacted as law throughout the planet.

[jess]

So sorry to hear it!

I hope nothing more is gone...

[Adam]

So, how's it going, Lees? Have you been able to get your window fixed yet? Have you found a good deal on pikes for after Uth catches the miscreants?

[Veritas]

I say you have at them with a baseball bat! :glare:

[viscousmemories]

So, how's it going, Lees? Have you been able to get your window fixed yet? Have you found a good deal on pikes for after Uth catches the miscreants?

Wow, liv sure got bitchy after she ate vm and replaced him on :ff:

See what happens when you don't file your reports to our illustrious leader on time, Lees?

[Leesifer]

Pfft! If you got your arse back into chat sometime velvet, you'd know.
