Help me find the fuckers that broke into my house



Wow, that fuckin blows dude. Honestly, just let the cops handle it. I wouldn't worry about them retaliating. They sound like a bunch of high school, wannabie thugs..real, professional criminals wouldn't act like this (texting your sister, etc..). On second thought, they sound like a bunch of faggots.

GL bro
 
Thanks for all the great advice.

LESSON LEARNED. Have all your shit on lockdown. None of my apple devices had tracking apps installed. My external sits right next to my macbook and didn't have a password. Another flash drive wasn't protected either.

Stupid shit, but definitely a valuable lesson. I contacted textplus+ so hopefully they'll be willing to work with me. I traced some other information back to the website bangbook.com so if anyone happens to know a webmaster there please PM me.

Zimok, that's funny you posted that idea because yesterday my imagination started running wild with how i could brand some type of text message reply and grab their ip or even get them to fill out an iphone leadgen or something.

Anyways thanks to everyone for reaching out I really appreciate it.

Hope you have Carbonite or something, if not go get it ASAP. I have an external next to my Macbook but if my house gets robbed or burns down I have my shit backed up off site.

You should also set up some streaming surveillance shit at your place, it's not expensive. Have the cameras turn on when motion is detected and basically upload video/still frames to a server so nothing is kept on site.
 
Unfortunately, a robbery of this size is small potatoes. IP addresses are great, except no DA would try the case since it's all circumstantial evidence. Unless someone caught them in the act, they are free forever.
Unless they still have the property in their house, which'd be pretty strong evidence. I know there's warrants and stuff, but if OP finds out the guy's address, I believe they can enter a house if it's in response to a 911 call. (at least, that's the case over here)
 
Dude, your service provider knows Exactly where that iphone is, well within a couple of 3 feet.

BTW sorry to hear of your trouble -- been there and I Never felt safe in that house again. And shit I'm armed and dangerous.
 
Interesting thread and I'd love updates.

If you do escalate 10x style, know the CA gun laws. They're not exactly on your side unless you're on your property and your life is in grave and imminent danger and they have capability AND intent. And you better the fuck kill them dead in the front and lawyer up. I know of a great expert witness if you need one.

Edit: It should probably go without saying that if you're doing some sort of "entrapment", then you are most likely going to end up in prison in this F'd up state.

I personally like the solutions involving internet geekery + cops.

PS - Thanks for Find My iPhone. Just installed it and finally got iCloud setup
 
Something about revenge:

Don't take it unless you are willing to escalate to the ultimate level (killing). Even then make sure some time passes between the event that triggers your will to commit revenge and the time you commit it. This will not only help you not be connected to the revenge act, since you will be depriving investigators of motive (hard to piece together a motive that happened years ago) but will also ensure you only engage in a vengeance you truly believe is worthwhile.

You never know who you are dealing with. As someone said, this might be someone with two strikes and willing to do anything to make sure they don't go back.

Tracking him down isn't the problem, it is what you will do once you find him. And then what he will do once found.

If you are a central piece to the case against him, what do you think he will be looking to do?

Anyone who is successful has a lot to lose. Anyone who is shit will have nothing to lose.
 
Only time I ever got robbed was by someone I knew.

Stole my nintendo
the family vcr
and a copy of honey I shrunk the kids.

I was about 6 years old.

go with Zimok's advice
 
Ok so I'm working on some good leads right now and some people have reached out and so progress is being made.

They stole all of my spare car keys and they know where we all work. They are going to come back for the cars. I have donated ipods and a donated macbook as well that I'm going to place in the cars and use as bait.

I need your help though in finding the best tracking solution. I need to do some more digging, but it seems like a lot of these apps are either really shitty and easy to turn off, or they just plain don't work.

I found one late last night that looks promising and it runs on any apple device that's been jailbroken, but for now i need your recommendations.

With the right tracking app/solution I know i can catch these idiots because i know they'll be itching to grab the cars.
 
If the fucktards are so unprofessional that they have contacted your sister, then logic says they might not be professional enough to keep the iphone & other connected hardware turned completely OFF.

If they haven't been turned off-off-off, then the service provider can find out approximately where they are.

Give them Zimok's tracking pixel, and once you have the IP address, give that plus information to contact your Service provider about the account to your detective on the case. TELL HIM THEY ARE EXPECTING HIS CALL.

If you make it easy for the piggies to do their job your case actually gets looked at sometimes.

Don't forget to check ebay/craiglist next days for your stuff.
 
If you are trying to bait your car the least you can do is get one of the car gps tracking devices that reports where the car is. They sell them all over the place now so parents can spy on their kids and where they go.
 
I know most criminals are stupid, but how come they are that stupid, I mean sending texts. Its beyond my comprehension, I mean can people be that stupid? Really?
 
First off your electronics are gone. If you have serial numbers for them then you have a very slim chance. Pawn shops do check the listings of stolen articles and will report attempts to the local cops.

Now about your jewelry... If there are any diamonds in the group purchased in the last few years you may be in luck. Recently diamond dealers have added microscopic serail numbers to premium diamonds. If you have lost the paper work just go back to the store and they will help you.

Those serials are not visible to the naked eye but can be seen with a loupe. That may be your best hope for catching these people.

As bad as you want revenge you really should step back and look at it for what it is and isn't.
 
What makes you think the burglar is not a Wickedfire member?

Everyone who responded to this has been backtraced.

But in all seriousness i'm gonna catch this dumbass. More and more people keep PMing me with ideas big thanks to everyone for the help I'll keep you guys updated.

And once again if anyone has a contact at bangbook.com that might be able to help as well.
 
I'd worry more about your (or more likely your parents') home security than tracking down some retards.

Why are you not bringing this to the police? They have the power to get access to phone records and track these guys down.
