My fiancee and I moved into a new place in early July. Today we got back from work around 4:30, as I had a day off from the "normal" job I work, so I just spend my days off in my fiancee's company's office. We just went to IKEA to get a new bed base and some other stuff a few days ago, and just had the box leaning against the wall next to the door.

When I walked in today the bed frame box had fallen over, and the tins we keep the coins in were moved around. Having grown up in BC, I went "shit, an earthquake?" then realised "no you fucking retard, you live in Australia now... shit did we get robbed?"

Yeah. We did.

It was pretty fucking weird though. My fiancee and I walked around the house, and they didn't take anything, really: the x-box was still there, the speaker system, my external hard drive, the TV, DVDs, digital cameras, broken DVD player, etc. It was all fucking there. They even left the bourbon sitting on the counter.

Unfortunately, what they did take sucked ass: the gold and diamond bracelet my fiancee gave me for Christmas which I almost never forget to put on was gone, and my fiancee had a Tag Heuer watch stolen.

So I called the cops while my fiancee called the real estate agent, who had the owner call us. The cops came by, spoke to us, said another house on the street was recently broken into too, went through the place, etc. We mentioned in passing that we had a Foxtel guy (cable/satellite provider) come to install it for us on Wednesday. They did their report, said some guys would come by tomorrow for fingerprints and stuff, and left.

About 5 minutes later they came by again and went "hey tell us about that Foxtel guy". It turns out the other house on our street that had been robbed a few days earlier also had a Foxtel guy come in a few days earlier, and the descriptions matched.

So yeah, that pretty much sucked ass.

tl;dr: we got robbed, Foxtel installer did it.
 


People still wear Tag Heuer watches? Fuckin Australia.

Jk, sorry for your troubles... am I correct in assuming that they arrested this Foxtel guy?
 
You actually got burglarized, not robbed. Sucks either way but I guess you can be glad you weren't home.
 
renters insurance or home owners insurance? I keep meaning to put my wife's engagement and wedding band ($15K+) on the home home owner's insurance, but I guess I've just been lazy. But I really need to get on it, especially hearing the horror stories like this one.

Sorry man, that must suck!!! Well, look at the bright side, means you need to work harder on affiliates to make up for the stolen goods :-)
 
I smell an attention whore.

4 posts and a 5 day old account yet posting this type of stuff?
 
I smart thing to do is keep a clean glass jar with some money in it on top of a tv or something thats in plain veiw, it's easy cash, they open it and take the cash, most are stupid and don't think about finger prints they leave behind

but what if they take the jar? :error:
 
You didn't get robbed -- robbed is when they point a gun to your head and grab all your shit.

You got burgularize.

Sucks but at least you didn't have a violent confrontions. It was probably some petty crimminals.

I recommend some high security door locks - like a schlage. And a STRONG WOODEN DOOR with metal frames.

And secure your windows and hide your valuable shit better.

(For example, hiding your gold in the bottom of a kitty litter bag -- who would look there? Or hide the gold inside an old radio...)

Read How TO Be Invisible by J J LUna if you're interested in these kind of shit.
 
^ Fuck that. I am going to live like a prisoner in my own house? Suck it.

Any unauthorized entrance onto my property will lead to

Ok, well in this case you would have probably came back home from work and found that your precious guns were stolen.
 
Shit. That sucks. I can't imagine what I would do if I came home to that. I live in an old house with a big backyard pretty secluded from the street. Since it's so old, we don't have modern windows or anything. My parents are dumbshits about that. We don't even lock our doors. All someone has to do is walk inside and all our shit is gone...
