Our house broken into Monday night!

[era veteran]

Destroyed the front door, stole two macs and a good camera. Very upset is an understatement. Just needed to vent. Out about $4400.00 so far. Thanks for listening. R

[elleng]

2. Very sorry.

LOTS of 'crap' in the air, these days.

:hug:

[era veteran]

19. thanks, even if we fail to recover our stuff I am confident they caught the

Stupldhead.

[elleng]

33. Good they caught!

3. Had it happen once.

They even stole my baby's piggy bank. I wanted to hurt somebody.

[era veteran]

22. Assholes, complete.

4. I'm sorry you're going through this.

It happened to my ex and me long ago -- the feeling of violation and the insecurity
that followed were not good times. They took the ONLY thing of any value that we had --
a console TV -- that was BORROWED from a friend, so we couldn't just tighten our belts
and do without... we had to pay for it.
.
They used our candles to light their way and dripped wax all over everything -- including
furniture, carpeting... and our CLOTHES!!!
.
.
The ONLY good news about that (and your situation) is that it's just "things" -- no one
was physically assaulted or injured.
.
.
Try not to let it distort your vision of people in general. That can be one of the worst
effects of something like this.

Still at work. Thanks R

5. Sorry to hear that...

BTW, has anyone heard from taterguy recently??

Just kidding!

[era veteran]

21. This may work out well.

I don't reckon Tater is like that. He would be a man of honor. He may take a chicken now and again but who hasn't?

6. I've been broken into twice and I know how it feels. Wishing you peace and security.

[era veteran]

23. Thanks

7. Sucks!

Our car was broken into and hardly anything was stolen and I felt so violated just that a stranger with bad intentions was in our driveway. I hope you can find some peace. That's really traumatic.

[era veteran]

24. Thank you, violated is the right word.

[applegrove]

8. So sorry. It definitely feels awful to have your stuff messed with.

[era veteran]

25. Thank you

9. TrogL and I have been there as well.

Back in 2008 we went through a home invasion...well actually his daughter and I did. We got through with support and counseling. :hug: :hug:

26. Hope that is behind you. Lots worse than happened to us.

[CraftyGal]

34. We're getting there....

still have bats at the doors and TrogL's favorite axe. We were told by police that it was okay as long as e are protecting our house and selves.

10. It happened to us in July. Broke our front door, too.

I know how hard it is. I still have a hard time with it sometimes. I'm really sorry it happened to you, too.

[era veteran]

27. Thanks, we got new door installed this morning.

[hibbing]

11. scary

Hi,
Yipes, that is so scary. It has never happened to me, but like some of the other posters say, the sense of violation must be very traumatic. Hang in there and I hope things resolve themselves as best as they can.

Peace

[era veteran]

28. Thanks!

12. Nobody goes near my house

without waking up 300+ lbs of fur and teeth. A few years back somebody tried to go through my gate to come around back-he was met by the welcoming committee. About 10 years ago someone burglarized the house two doors up and was surprised by my neighbor coming home. The clown ran out the back door, hopped over the fence into my next door neighbors yard, hopped over into my yard-at which point my back door exploded as the Moose and his cohorts came out. He barely made it back over the fence to next door. By the time he got around my neighbors house into the front, the cops were here-he actually looked happy that the teeth didn't get him.

The sign on my back fence says "CAVE CANEM"

13. l must get another big dog

My shepherd Puff died a bit over a year ago. Our Pal and guard. We live at the end of the road and most of the neighbors are good people but this house the perp came from is a rental that has 8 people in it. We hope this will stop this crap.

[suninvited]

14. when I first read this

I was thinking. OMG, he has a 300 lb dog??

Then I realized. Multiple dogs. lol

[driver8]

30. We have a shepherd mix who takes his job of guarding our house very seriously.

I cannot imagine anyone trying to get into our house while he is here.

[Kali]

15. did you lose good pictures or other data?

that is the worst about getting cameras ripped off

can't imagine the emotional disruption and feeling of invasion - and to bust a door down! shit, that is so aggressive and violent.

Did I understand from a reply that the person was caught? That's good.

[era veteran]

17. thanks, everything backed up. ... still waiting on the police to let us know

if any of our stuff recovered.

[Codeine]

16. Man that fucking sucks.

I'd hate to know people were in my sanctuary like that. Vibes, dude. :hug:

[era veteran]

29. i must burn some sage. thanks

[driver8]

31. This happened to one of my neighbors.

The fuckers cleaned them out -- took everything that wasn't nailed down!

I cannot imagine how awful you must feel...I'm sorry this happened to you.

[Rosie1223]

32. Thats Awful! I'm so sorry!

My sister in law had her house burglarized at Christmastime a few years ago. The thieves even took the wrapped presents from under the tree. I'm glad you and your family are ok.

[WinkyDink]

35. OMG, {{{era veteran}}} !! How traumatic!

[Odin2005]

36. OH NO! What assholes!
