Bad luck Dave.  Sorry to hear that.  We've had neighbor's places broken into but so far have been lucky that the bums haven't tried our place.  Good luck getting everything sorted out.

Hey 74-454,

I am sorry this happened to you, hopefully your insurance will cover most of it. This morning at 4:30 my garage door opens. We looked outside and our Suburban has been broken into. When I got outside they had left the door ajar. The inside was ransacked, they stole my garage door opener and $3. Cops were called, they did thier thing and left. We were very lucky no one was hurt. What you stated earlier is very true. We shouldn't have to worry about locking our doors. And it pisses me off that now we have to do just that. We were startled awake at 0 dark thirty because some jack ass wanted my $3 and was too confused to drop the garage opener. Now i have to reprogram the garage and put in a security system, so they don't come back and steal our Vettes. All because some loser wanted my $3. I almost hope the guy that did this comes back and tries to get into the house  so my dogs can castrate him. Its never about the things they take, its that they are arrogant enough to think they can get away with it.

 I hope they catch the guy that broke into your place and you get some satisfaction out of the situation. But know this, the kind of people that steal for a living end up in jail because they have other bad habits. They all end up getting theirs eventually. Karma has a way of coming around right when they least expect it. Sorry this was so long, I guess I needed to vent a little. My intention is not to minimize what happened to you. This happens alot more than we would like to admit.

I guess I will be getting a dog in a near future.  I'll wait until I'm in a house, because a townhouse does not offer much space or back yard....
 
Sorry to hear that Andy; that's one thing I'm thankfull for in my situation; they didn't ransacked the place.
 
I spoke with the insurance people today and made my "confession" on tape.  It looks like it's going to work out.  Not necessarely break even, but close enough.  They are so busy with all the hurricanes and north-east flooding claims, I think they consider my case an "easy" one that can be taken care of rapidly so I don't add too much to their already heavy load of work.  They are still working on last year's hurricane claims.
 
Being from FL, I knew from the start they would be backed up, but it is progressing real well and I have spoken to very nice people so far, so can't complain about that!
 
The big of the work is on my side right now, I have to itemize a list for them.... including my 240 cd's.  Don't get me wrong, I do remember most of my music, but seriously... it's gonna be hard to hit it right on the money with 240!  I'll do my best.
 
Do you think they will be surprised that being from the same region I don't have any Celine Dion and never really liked her music?

Sorry to hear what happened to you. That totally sucks. I know how you feel. We got broke into a few years ago a couple days before Christmas. All they stole was a couple hundred bucks. And left us with that violated feeling. 

 The part that really made me mad was that they seen my military uniform and my I.D. card on the dining room table (it was moved) and they still chose to steal from me. I dedicated part of my life to serve and protect my country, and these dirt balls didn't care. No respect.

Man I hate it that you got your stuff ripped off. Like the others I too have had the same unpleasent experience. My daughter's car has had the windows smashed on the drivers side twice so that the low lifes could steal the CD player & all of the CD's. This was in my driveway. (I did get real good at window assembly for a Mitsubishi Eclipse though.)
The last time they broke out the windows in my neighbors truck as well and stole a handgun too. Needles to say after I thought about it some I was better off not to have surprised them.
Now I have motion lights and a camera installed. Hopefully this will help. I do have to tell you though I was reading through your post and felling angry when I noticed your profile. When I read "drive it like you stole it" I had to laugh.... At least the vette isn't gone. PS keep your eyes open for a lowlife who has unusually good taste in summer attire.

 That's right, the Vette didn't get stolen, but here what's funny:
 
It happened last Friday in the day time.  2 days before, Wednesday, the appartment complex where I keep my car (I don't keep it at home, I don't have a garage) complained that there was a strong fuel smell, so I parked it outside that night.
 
Friday during the day, I had this strange feeling that my vette would get stolen, so I decided so do a swap after work.  I left my Explorer at the garage and drove the Vette home...... to discover that it got broken into.
 
SO, the gut feeling was right, just not the right item!
 
In the end, having my Vette right at my door turned out to be a good conversation piece with the police officers and all my neighbors trying to figure out what was going on!  It allowed me to talk to 3 new neighbors that I never spoke to in the past 2 years.
 
You are right about the gun thing.  Personally, I'll never have one (never touched one in my life).  In the past couple days, I dreamed of catching them on the act and kicking their a** KongFu style, but if they would have had a gun, that could have cost me a lot more than insurance settlement!  And it's just not worth it! (When it's time, I hope I get to bring my Vette in heaven!)

If there's no Vettes in Heaven.....I ain't goin'!
I agree with not confronting scumbags in the act. The law would be on their side, oddly enough.
If they're goofy enough to bust in a house, they're goofy enough to shoot/stab.
