Break-Ins

[placebo]

When I was about 13, I was disturbed by a rather large crash at about 1am, walked out into the living room and two or three bricks came flying through the window, narrowly missing me. So I have a look outside and 5-6 'youths' are approaching the house, so my brother and I grab a cricket bat and he let's out one of the most beautifully articulated streams of expletives I've ever heard. They shat their pants after a few tame sparring words and bolted.

Fortunately it happened then and not 5 minutes later, because I was getting ready to have a major wank at the time as well. I had cricket the same morning, and didn't get an ounce of sleep; picked up a couple of wickets though. I've had worse days.

Got broken into 5 times in one year at the same place.
On the last occasion the party was kind enough to leave a floating deposit in the toilet and my old company car keys on our table.

Funny thing was that we started moving some gear into our new rental in Prahran through the cross-over period.
When the main moving day came about we found that what we had already dropped off at the new property was now also gone.

Got a back to base alarm system thereafter.

Must have been dark or the buggers were colour blind.

few years ago had a laptop and some other stuff stolen, too young to give a shit, parents were pretty mad though.

Friends of friends just got broken into and they had device tracking sw on their computers. Whenever the thieves would log in their laptops took photos of them and emailed the owners along with the address they were at. The police eventually got a warrant and went around there.

Needless to say the thieves were mystified as to how they were found.

Your friends of friends watch too much Veronica Mars.

Only a Geelong fan would have picked up on that.

I used to live only a few hundred metres from school, so obviously would walk to and from and would get home before anyone else. We never used the front door to enter the house and always would walk around the back, and depending on whether I checked the letterbox or not I would walk around either side of the house to get to the back door. As our house was on a relatively steep hill, one 'sideyard' was a fair bit below the house, and so to look at the windows would mean you would be looking up at them.

When I was in late high school, maybe year 11 or 12, one day I was walking around this side of house after school and I thought I saw someone in the kitchen through the window. If someone was standing near the sink in the kitchen you would be able to see them from about neck up from the garden. On this occasion I only remember noticing what I thought was a silhouette of a person as light was shining on the glass from outside and you couldn't see much more from the inside. I didn't think anything of it and assumed mum was home (she worked part-time) and I didn't take a second glance.

When I walked around the back and got inside it turned out mum wasn't home, so I assumed I must have just been seeing things.

Later on that afternoon when mum did get home, she asked me why was there dirt all over the kitchen floor. I never wore shoes in the house so it wasn't me. I didn't say anything at the time because I couldn't be sure of what I saw, but I never noticed anything stolen or any point of entry or exit.

Unless the dirt were paw prints, it HAD to be someone else in the house!

Well we are being played by an industry that would hate to see crime rendered insignificant (can be easier than people know) so why not play back?

Just went and did a naked dance in front of the foxtel box and nothing happened.......

When I was 13 after finishing school early I was sitting on my lounge, heard a van (assumed it was next door as they constantly have vehicles arriving and departing), then three shadows appeared at my door window (it's a funny type of window not see through). One appeared to have a screw driver. Shat myself and called the cops, followed by mum. Dumb arse me was too much of a coward to look through the window which would've saved a whole lot of embarrassment. They were the guys who built our new fence leaving an invoice on the door step.

I was robbed in Caulfield when I was home. My room had a sliding door that opened onto the street but was fairly hidden. It was unlocked and when I was out the back hangin up washing some one came into my room and robbed me.

What hurt was that they stole my laptop which had 3 years of Uni work and my folio on it. In the bag was my ipod and some DVDs, both of which had just been used to (twice) back up all my work a few days ago.

I was a month out of finishing Multimedia and I lost all 3 years of work and was unable to get a job in the industry since. So they also effectively stole 3 years of uni fees.

And they stole my bong...

Strangely enough for 3 consecutive years between 2008-2010 my parents business (which I work in) was broken into between December 26-30.

No one ever got anything because our alarm goes off it's **** within 5 seconds and is loud enough to wake up the whole neighborhood so would scare the **** out of anyone causing them to bolt ASAP but still it's a pain in the ass to have to find someone to come a fix the broken window/door on boxing day plus you lose a days trading on top of it.

Off topic a little but my best mate got mugged last week for his wallet and phone in the city. Got kicked into a little and now he is really scared. I am so angry because he is the nicest bloke who wouldn't hurt a fly. A scumbag asked him for directions and as he was talking to the guy, another bloke kinged him from behind. Then they kicked him in the ribs a few times. Anyway is there a thread on BF about something like this? Feel like I need to vent a bit more and get some support from some others who have been victims/friends of victims. Thanks in advance guys.
