View Full Version : I got robbed

Sooooo, my wife and I went to Arizona this past weekend for some R&R.

We have two dogs we do not like to board, so we usually have someone stay at the house instead. It always the same person, a lifetime friend of my wife, you would basically call him a family member. He stood up in our wedding and just to knee-cap the expected response, he is most certainly gay, so no, he isnt sleeping with my wife.

Anyway, we left him in charge of the household. Hes a bar-fly, so him going out and getting toasty is expected.

What is not expected is for him to bring total strangers into our house.

According to his story (which I am very much in doubt at this point), he was all fucked up at the bar and wanted to take a cab home. Two twnety-something guys talk him into driving him and his car back to our house.

According to his story, he went inside and went to bed. Woke up to find his wallet missing and his cell phone. Moreover, he cant find one of our dogs.

He calls the police. The police respond to a "suicidal call" (his response to the police "i couldnt live with myself if I lost one of their dogs"). They enter the home and find the dog locked in a closet. So our two babies are fine and in good health.

Our friend, beside himself with grief, checks into rehab (wtf? really? coward...). Leaves the house as is and never calls us (nor did the cops). My wife and I are in AZ, calling him all day Sunday with no response. We know something is wrong, she speaks with him everyday, especially when he is in charge of our house.

We finally get his call at 8:00pm on Sunday (10:00 EST). He says some bullshit like I just explained and that "my computer router/modem is missing".

Obviously, we are anxious to get home after that phonecall.

We get home yesterday at 7:30 EST now knowing what to expect once inside. We got fucking robbed.

My "computer router/modem" is sitting right where it should....what is gone though, is my fucking computer. And my wife's.

And her 20 or so Coach purses.

Oh yeah, and my Xbox 360, my PS3, my Wii, my surround sound system and any number of games/accesories (they actually searched the house for the Wii nunchuks and took those too, they werent with the other gaming shit).

Obviously, I call the police to come back out immediately. Nice deputy shows up. Goes through the motions, makes a few phonecalls to our now suddenly sick, depressed and severly medicated "friend".

Our friend says he didnt invite them in, that the must have followed him through the garage and got in. I call bullshit, there are multiple filled ashtrays and 3 seperate kinds of pop cans in the basement.

I think our "friend" got to bragging at a bar that he was house-sitting his friends nice house and caught the ear of interested criminals. They probably pulled some info out of him about how long we were gone, etc etc. They play nice guy and offer a ride home. Our "friend" then invites them inside for a couple drinks (fucking asshole), as he is already shit-faced, he doesnt last long and passes out wherever.

So these guys go about the house checking things out, seeing whats valuable, and start unloading shit. They took everything out our back door (which makes no sense) and walk around the side of the house.

Oddly, the took a dog cage outside and left it out there (this, I dont understand, unless they thought about stealing one of our dogs).

The cops are coming over today (after I get out of work) to take finger prints on some areas of the house. I hope one of those thieves have a drunk driving or some other offense that required finger prints, because theyre everywhere in certain areas.

So, all in all, our losses look like this...

(20+) Coach/Louis Vuitton purses/handbags/wallets = ~$10k+
(1) Bad-ass, liquid cooled, custom painted computer = $7k
(1) One generic Dell computer = ~$2k
Xbox 360, 4 games, 2 controllers and a charge station = ~$700
PS3, 2 controllers and a charge station = ~$600
Wii system, 4 controller, 2 nunchuks, 2 charge stations = ~$500
All my HDMI cables, Component cables = ~$200
JVC surround sound system = $800 (5 years old)
Total: ~$22,000.00

It isnt so much the material shit that pisses me off, its the information on the computers, the personal work unfinished on said computers, all the crap that can be used against us later, down the road. I mean, with my computer alone, I might want to consider my identity being stolen at some point in the future.

To the Motherfuckers who stole my shit and are probably playing my fucking games right now and going through the "Favorites" of Internet Explorer seeing what kind of person I am...

I'll see you soon. Real soon. I really dont want any of my shit back....keep it. But I'd sure like to meet you. Do you want to meet me?

Fucking cowards.

There are some really shitty people out there. I can't really blame you for being upset with your friend; regardless of whether or not he meant for this to happen, part of the responsibility of house sitting is to make sure this sort of shit doesn't happen.

Best of luck. Hopefully they are able to track something down on the losers that did it; criminals tend to be too dumb to cover their tracks a lot of the time.

hence buy new stuff, stimulate the economy man....:D

hey those console games, dont they have a serial number on the back where u need to register if you wanna use the online services? maybe you should contact them manufactures or site if anyone tries to re-register that console online with another username? get IP recorded and get cops onto their asses.....

Your "friend" sounds like an idiot and I would disown him if I were you.

Sorry to hear about this, DR. My house was robbed about two years ago. Glad your dogs are okay, that was our biggest concern as well.

The upside was that with some smart shopping with the insurance money we received for everything that was stolen, we upgraded pretty much everything we lost... So aside from the loss of our sense of security, we're better off now.

He was such a jerk I can't even call him "gay" because that would be too respectful. They get so obsessed with getting laid and fucked up that nothing else matters and they'll backstab anyone and then hide like a coward. In fact my friend is so much like yours---he was my wedding coordinator! I finally got tired of getting used and ripped off by him that I wrote him off, and we had been friends since childhood.
I think you should make your friend take you to that bar---there's a good chance those assholes will return.

Thats the entire point of having someone house-sit, is it not? I havent felt this kind of betrayal in a looong time.

Done. Little fucking coward cant even stay sober long enough to return phone calls. He's resting comfortably in his mother's lap as we speak, pumped up on Xanax and whatever-else people take who fuck up royally and cant stand to man up and take responsibility.

Depression/Personality disorder is the lamest excuse the world over. This guy is actually receiving sympathy for being a total fuck-wad. Unbelievable...un-fucking-belivable.

What I want to know is, how and where can I get a depression problem so as to not have to take responsibility for anything I say or do because I'm "sick"?

My mother does it. This asshole does it. My not-retarded, social-security-check receiving loser associate does it. I hear any number of stories about it, I read it in the news all the time about people being bipolar or whatnot as if that has anything at all to do with the fact that they hit and killed a kid while driving home from who-gives-a-shit.

I want my built-in excuse. I want that luxury...to not be a responsible adult who owns up to their mistakes, so I can run and hide under the guise of disorder when things go south because Im an impulsive douchebag with little grip on the reality of my dismal, unimportant existence.

Oh, thats right. Im better than that. Almost forgot.

That issue (security) is what is hardest to deal with at the moment. Not me, I know what happened (i think). These people just had a stroke of luck and took what they wanted and left, to never come back.

Try telling that to my wife. She doesnt want to be in the house, she doesnt want to be alone, Im getting a phone call every 10 minutes at work, etc.

I feel horrible for her because I love her to death and want to make her feel safe immediately, but its just not that easy.

1) Maybe, but the bar owner is being a dick. Cops are visiting him today.

2 & 3) "Friend" was an inebriated mess who claims "blackout". My only hope is a neighbor noticed a strange vehicle late, LATE Saturday night (actually, Sunday morning).

Exactly. Hes bullshitting, but I think for benign reasons.

He doesnt want to be held responsible lawfully. What he doesnt know is that even if I wanted to press charges against him, I couldnt.

As the cop said "He had a right to be here and if he invited them in, so did they (so no B&E). The only thing he is guilty of is bad judgement...nothing criminal."

Fucking cowards.

Remember:

1) Strangulation leaves no bloodstains, rope is very cheap, and rope can be paid for with cash.

2) Ants make great reducers. If you leave a dead carcass next to or on top of a large fire-ant hill in the boonies under a tarp and a few inches of soil, they will strip the bones of soft tissue in a rather astonishingly short amount of time.

3) Industrial strength vinegar dissolves calcium rather efficiently, and can be bought in bulk for cash from many grocery stores.

4) Your wife cannot be forced in a court of law to testify against you.

Not that you should do anything with this information, mind you, but if you do something... rash, just don't be stupid about it.

That is a lot of stuff. Hopefully the dollar amount involved will force the police to pursue it a bit more than someone who just lost a TV or something.

Talk to the county prosecutor's office as well, if the cops aren't going after it hard enough to suit you.

The police might not be elected, but the prosecutor is, and that give you a bit more leverage to get some action.

All very good ideas. So far, lets just say I am not too impressed with the police.

But I fall just north of city jurisdiction (as in, across the street). Its the sheriff's department case (an elected position). Depending on how today goes, this is good info to have.

I'm probably looking at around the same dollar amount of crap in my house(just swap the coach purses for electronics, my wife's a tech geek), which made it a no brainer to get video surveillance. You might think of that after you've worked through this ordeal to get that "secure" feeling back.

If it makes you feel better DR, a buddy of mine in Tampa had his house robbed a couple of weeks ago in the middle of the day. His pets were left ok as well but they caught the fuckers a week later. So maybe this will end up with a happy ending as well.

I can only hope.

Damn, DR. I am sorry to hear about that. I know how your wife is feeling, because I was the victim of a home invasion a couple of years ago, bastard broke in while I was asleep in my bedroom. For a couple days afterwards, everything scared me, especially since I had to spend time alone at night in the house. The next day, I was pouring soda in a glass with ice, and the the clinking sound that the resettling of the ice cubes in the glass makes made me jump so bad I swear I might have scraped the ceiling.

It gets better, but it takes time. Just do everything you can to assure her that they got everything they want and so likely won't come back, and maybe even signing her up for a self-defense class might help. We got a gated screen door for our entry, and it looks ghetto as fuck, but I don't care because it makes me feel infinitely safer. Patience is probably the real key, though. Good luck solving the crime and I hope she feels safe again soon.

Insurance don't replace trust, peace of mind, or things that are sentimentally priceless.

When I was in high school I lived with my sister because my parents kicked me out. I was a prick as a teenager. While I lived with her, my tweeker sister stole my tv, vcr, Super Nintendo (hold your laughter, this was 14 years ago), cd player, speakers, and all my cds (including a few given to me by a friend before he went to prison) while I was at school. My parents' insurance replaced everything (except the cds from my friend) but it didn't replace the trust. I still don't have a relationship with my sister and I don't want one because she doesn't accept responsibility. She falls back on the "It wasn't her fault, it was the drugs that drove her to steal" excuse.

Material shit is just that: material shit. It's the emotional variables that really matter. That's the hardest hit from which to heal.

coach purses rock.

First step, start scanning ebay and craigslist.

ebay offers some decent searches that would allow sorting by offer date.

Seem coach purses are popular items.

Do different sorts of coach purses by date, and distance, and see if anybody in the your area suddenly has a bunch of them to sell in recent days.

Further, have your wife do it and see if she recognizes any of the pictures of the offered items.

Do the same for craigslist.

You might even want to check for the dog in this manner. It may be that they are trying to pawn the dog off.

It is possible that one of the theives was female, given that purses were involved.

Beats the f*** out of me why the jewelry wasn't touched, my guess is that it would have been too hard to sell.

Hmm. That is a distinct possibility.

One would not get the full $22k from selling the items though.

If this were the case, the items were unloaded at a local pawn shop or something similar, as online auctions or sales from ads in the newspaper would have taken a bit too long.

Still one could inquire of Ebay for their cooperation if the auction is already closed.

Have the police pursue that line of inquiry, as Ebay is likely experienced at dealing with the police for this very thing. I would imagine ebay would be more than willing to help.

One might think that, but you would have to have a very good listing of the items stolen, if it is even covered by the policy.

One note to all who think their shit is covered by a policy:

Can you prove any of it existed or how much it was worth if it disappeared?

Periodically take pictures or inventory (once every year or so) of your stuff that might be valuable enough to steal. Get serial numbers on everything that might have them.

It makes a world of difference when dealing with the insurance company and/or police.

Your absolutely right. My wife is a claims adjuster and her job is basically to find reasons not to pay people. When you do get paid a lot of companies may not want to renew your homeowners insurance depending on the amount. The insurance route can be a pain.

I only read the first 2 pages and I saw someone post it, so is the Xbox or PS3 online? Whats the Xbox gamer tag see the last log on time.

Don't send messages but see if they keep playing. On another gaming board someones Xbox was stolen and the cops were able to get info from Microsoft and the ISP to track them down and they did get busted.

This will only help if you had a online account and remeber do not mail them talking shit because it may scare them from playing online. Hell they may even be stupid enough to change the bio and put there myspace or some shit.

DR, also know that pawn shops are required to submit serial and model number information to the police on all items people sell to the store. If they hawked the game systems for quick cash and you can match serial numbers and recover your equipment.

I'd also check craigslist and ebay ads for anyone selling the consoles you owned in lots with the exact same set of games and equipment (controllers, memory cards, cables, etc) in or near your location. If they were stupid enough to leave behind fingerprints then they're probably trying to flip this stuff for quick cash.

by the way,

Texas and Florida institute the "Castle doctrine"

If anyone breaks into your home, you can legally kill them, no questions asked.
As long as they're still in your house...two weeks later you go shooting the alleged perp...oh yeah, there's gonna be questions.

So yeah, no questions asked....for a limited time only.

Hey DR,
Go to this site. http://www.lifelock.com/
We signed up. It's $10/mo x 2 (you & your wife) = $20/mo.
They guarantee your identity theft protection up to $1,000.000. The president of this company has an ad where he gives out his real SSN as a way to tout how safe it is.

We signed up after someone in the netherlands attempted to charge a $3,000 plane ticket using my husband's amex.

Yes it was, also he no longer is the CEO of the company after reports came out about his past, one being he stole his dads identity to get credit cards.

Even worse than the material loss, getting robbed is a really creepy feeling. I hope those dickless fucks either get caught and/or burn in hell for what they've done to you.

one question tho, u posted this "Anyway, we left him in charge of the household. Hes a bar-fly, so him going out and getting toasty is expected."

you left a guy in charge of your house that u knew would get "toasty" a.k.a. drunk to watch all ur stuff ?

I came across a person who could get things "done", but I elected not to use him. The more information thats been gathered, the more it had lead away from who we thought it was.

In the end, I just didnt have the heart to put someone in the way of a blunt object on a hunch.

House-sitter took a lie detector and passed with flying colors. I am not familiar with the accuracy or inaccuracies with lie detectors, but thats good enough for me. He really doesnt know who did it and he really didnt let anyone in our house (cognitively, anyway).

Better to let it end there and move the fuck on.

lie detector's are not even permissible in court.

that's how ineffective they are. the only thing it does is trace changes in your responses. they compare the charts from the control questions to the actual questions.

so you can essentially stress yourself out intentionally when they ask you the control questions such as "Is your name x" and then if you stress out during the actual questions, it's all evened out on the chart and it's inconclusive.

or

if you are one cool cat in control of your emotions, you can lie your way through it in a cold blooded fashion. but you have to be one of those guys who can keep your emotions in check

so your lie detector trial doesn't mean anything. for all you know, it was him.


however, all this stuff about 'getting things done' and thinking of violent revenge is wrong. just move on, forget about what happened and don't allow that person to be in your home unless you are there.

jack sommerset
04-09-2009, 08:23 PM

I have a hard time with that considering you trusted him to watch ur house then you blamed him for what other people did and looks like you made him take a lie detector test and now that he had nothing to do with it u say "Fuck Him". Dude, not cool! Not cool at all. Nothing you can say about him would sway my opinion. You thought highly of him to the point you let him watch ur house. Please go to him,hug him,beg him to accept ur apology,take him out to dinner and let him know you fucked up and still love ur best friend!

Put it this way, I thought I had a pretty good idea who was responsible. A group, actually. I still *think* it is them and to be honest, since they know me, it pisses me off more.

So yes, if I ever got the needed confirmation I need, theyd get whats coming to them, no questions asked.

Isnt the first time it went this way, probably not the last.
