Today Raeann, myself, and our kid went to a birthday party for my baby cousin a few towns over from where we live. We did the birthday thing, and left for home after the party was over. When I walk into my house, I immediately noticed that my Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 were missing, along with all of the games that go with them. Funny enough, though, not a single thing else was missing. My laptop, my digital camera, all 500+ of my dvds, and Raeann's jewelry were all left untouched. AND, I might add, my Nintendo Wii and all of the games were left untouched. So, basically, someone broke into my house and stole only my PS3, Xbox 360, all of the games that go with the systems, and all of the accessories like the Bluetooth headset, the PS3 camera, the PS3 remote, and the 360 camera. Someone who has been to my house before did this. That's the only explanation I can come up with. Why in the hell would someone break into a house and only steal video game hardware? Unless, of course, that someone knew that I had these consoles and the like.

The sheriff's deputy came to my house and I gave a list of what was taken, along with an incident statement, and also dusted for possible fingerprints. Right now, I'm venting my incredible anger by drinking beer and posting my f*cked up story here.

Luckily, for the sake of myself and my family, we weren't here when this occurred. At least nobody was hurt, and I still have my Wii and games. Still, I'm out $1,500, at least, in video game hardware.

I'm so angry I could f*cking cry.

People are pieces of shit.

Sorry for what happened to you Impediment but at least none of you were harmed and they only took $1,500 worth of your belongings.

Hope you find out who did it.

You know what else pisses me off? Yesterday I bought GTA 4. Now it's gone. I never even got to enjoy it.

That ****ing sucks major balls.

I'm sorry hug

I hope they get the scum who did it.

That sucks man.

Do you have any idea of who may have did it?

sorry, that really sucks.

someone broke into my garage recently and stole all the electrical components to one of my 4 wheelers. I know who it was but can't prove anything.

I hate people who steal, they are just too lazy to earn the money to buy their own stuff so they take from other people not caring that you worked hard to get that stuff. I hope they catch the bastard.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the neighbor kids did it.

They're not exactly angels, if you get my drift.
I'd be paying a visit to them tomorrow.

I thought this was about to turn into a Stephan Wright joke.

Either way, sorry about your loss.

Thanx, man. Welcome back.

Who's Stephan Wright?

I told the deputy who came to my house about my suspicions. He plans to question them very soon.
That's good, hope you get this resolved soon.

Who's Stephan Wright? An old comedian. He's very dry and sarcastic.

He's got this joke about his apartment being burglarized. I can't remember how it goes, but he's hilarious.

See, the thing is I have extra money stored away in my savings account that I was saving for a "rainy day". Now I have to decide whether or not to use that money to buy back all of my shit that was stolen, or just wait and save up more money to buy it back again.

that sucks

hope you find out who did it and get your stuff back

I appreciate all of the comments from you guys.

It's actually kind of jarring to experience this for the first time. I've never been burglarized. It kinda takes away the last shred of security you have for your household. I mean, a man's home is his castle, but it shouldn't have to be his fortress, you know?

my home has been burglarized several times I blame it on the neighborhood I live in which is why I am moving

I hear you man. That's my worst fear in life is to have people enter my house/apartment (when I have one).

Like everyone's said, that's terrible man. I had my car broken into once at the mall and they took everything. My iPod, jacket, a couple dvd's, etc. More shocking things happen to people, but still, it was... well, shocking.

Sorry, man.

Thanks.

I plan to spend all day tomorrow doing nothing but playing my Wii. Maybe that will cheer me up. Hell, I might even go and buy Mario Kart Wii. It always puts me in a good mood when I buy a new game or a dvd. Maybe I'll buy both.

I feel your pain, man. I love electronics a lot -- probably more than I should and definitely more than most people (especially when people do shit like this), but I'm glad to hear that your wife nor your daughter nor yourself were harmed. It won't be cheap, but your systems and games can be replaced. It'll be cool.

I'm so angry I could f*cking cry. how many people know about your video game arsenal? and how many of those people do you trust?

and what about your firearms? they secure?

See, that's what I don't get. I have all of this expensive shit (i.e., computers, cameras, firearms) but none, and I mean NONE of those items were taken. Not one item, save for my PS3 and 360 plus the games, was taken.

A number of people have been to my home. It's hard to pinpoint a suspect.

I trust few people, to be honest.

That sux, Mattie. I hate when bad things happen to good peeps.

I could cry I'm still so mad.


Will you rub my balls? eyes

rub a dub dub, get in da tub.....John John make it all better.

I'm sure that the authorities will start an "investigation" over my case, but I can't expect much, really. I'll probably have to re-buy all of my shit that was taken.

Your shit is gone, dude.

True, true.


$1,500. That's a lot of dough.

Dude that sucks. I'd be very pissed of if my PS3 got stolen or my wii.


If those kids did it and the cops don't do anything, you should grab one of the kids. Scare the crap out of him. I would. I'd be so pissed off.


Hope you get your stuff back.

I wish u the best, friend

I'm glad no one was hurt

Don't worry. I'll come to H-Town and recruit your sexy ass to come and pull an "American History X" on the bastards who took my shit.

I appreciate your concern, sir.

How's your dad? I hope he's doing better.

I know how you feel. I had all of my CDs stolen. do you know how hard it is to find Surf music and Weird Al Yankovic Cds? I'm still trying to get back all of my WAY's. I just have 2 left to go but hey are the hardest to find.

I aint gonna shave my head, baby.

These type of f*cking gamers piss me off. We've had several occurances down here in Cali of poor ass gamers stealing GTA IV from EB's and Gamestops. Geez, if they're that f*cking poor, how do they manage to play all these games, apparently by stealing them. Keep an eye on who comes over Imp, beat their ass in.

That sucks MAJOR balls, dude.

I would be SOOO pissed if I were you. I WOULD cry. Apart from my family, there is nothing I love more than my electronics.


It was obviously adolescents of some sort. An adult would probably have stolen the Wii because they are harder to come by and better gifts for kids. I can picture some teenage boys napping your 360 and PS3.

If I were you and I found out who did it, IF they were 18 or older...I.would.beat.the.shit.out of them! I HATE thieves!!!!

I'm glad your women weren't hurt...

Most thieves wait until you're gone...no surprise there. You were probably "staked out" before they stole from you because they waited until you were gone. That's creepy.

Whatever the case, if they're young-uns, then they're most likely to carry a piece and be reckless, be careful Impy.

Oh man
That sucks, bastards will do any thing these days, good thing you were away and all the jewelry and etc was not harmed.
and hey,maybe they will find the stuff with the guy who did it.

hug

No one's given you a hug yet, honey. One for Raeann as well hug

I hope they find the culprit and that you get all of your things back.

Man I wish I lived nearby, we'de go street huntin'!

Ahhh dude man, that sucks big time... well if one of your mates suddenly has a new x box and playstation you know who it is

That really sucks. Some people are just rotten pieces of shit. I'm terribly sorry.
These people tried to break into my house when I was gone, but had no way to get it(thank God). I think what pissed me off the most, though, was that my neighbor saw them go into my yard but didn't call the police. AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME ABOUT IT UNTIL THE DAY AFTER! Oh, and that's not all: I was informed by someone down the street! So my dumbass neighbors weren't even going to ****ing let me know, but told everyone else!

A prime example of someone who never got their ass spanked (or at least enough) as a kid, lol. I'm sorry Imped. Like everyone else said, I'm thankful that it was that little as opposed to if you were home and they could've been armed.

It had to've been someone you know or are acquainted with in some way. Either that or they're some very retarded people that were just looking for specific things and not wanting anything else valuable that you had lying around.

I'm almost certain of who took my shit. I just don't have any proof.

The deputy asked me if, in fact, the culprit is caught, I want to press charges.

I told him to "string that f*cker up by the balls."

I give less than a damn if it's a kid. The little bastard will learn a lesson by going to jail or having to pay a hefty fine.

Do you not have contents insurance?

Yeah. The deductible is $500. I'm gonna wait and see where my case goes, and, hopefully, the culprit(s) will be found. If not, I'll go with insurance.

Well it's not like someone could've tidied up and put them away or your daughter hid them or something. It's obvious that it was someone who stole them.

If you're going by a gut feeling or something, that is jumping to a conclusion. You might be right, if you are perhaps you should join the police - I'm sure psychic detectives are in rather short supply.

Well, I hope you get your stuff back. If the police catch the person who stole I would definately press charges.

I'm better than that.

Psychic chief investigator?

Not that you did this Impediment, but a lot of people, when they buy brand new shit, put the boxes out on the curb for the garbage man to collect. That is a great way to tell everyone who passes through your neighborhood, even the garbage man himself, that you have just bought brand new shit. Two weeks ago I was walking my dog, Walker Texas Ranger, down the street behind my house, and I saw an empty box for a brand new 50 inch Panasonic plasma HDTV sitting out in front of my neighbors yard. I was like, "Well, now I know who to rob if I need a 50 inch plasma." F*cking amateurs.

I agree, sir. However, I never disposed of my console boxes. I kept them for just such an incident. Unfortunately, my shit got stolen and the boxes seem nil for this occasion.

Who do you reckon it was then Impediment, a local kid?

Sorry Impediment, it was me...

I just read a book called "I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski." It was written by the achievers who started Lebowski Fest. Pretty entertaining book, especially when they interview the actual guys who influenced Walter, John Goodman's character.

I am a paranoid f*ck....it has its advantages....like you just pointed out.

At least Imps kept the boxes, but it's shitty that he can't find them.
