    If you really want to catch the perps, hire a PI. Preferably one of shady moral character who only takes cash upon completion of the investigation. Might have to drop a few G's but as long as the "friend" was honest, it sounds like a very solvable crime.
    We're taking this advice immediately.

    Security, his best friend let the crooks in. Still you should take ur buddy out to dinner and let him know it was not his fault and u love him. I'm sure he feels bad.
    All the more reason why dude should try to make amends instead of hiding like a pussy.

    mouse is for hire.

    you have to pick him up and provide snax though.

    he has this search light he wears on his head, usually for dumpster diving, but i'm pretty sure he can use it to solve the crime...

    also, hide your jewelry.

    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, bas 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 , 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.

    I'm serious. I have seen stupid like this wreck friendships. Its crap, DR has insurance, he trusted him with his house and everything in the house. Something went wrong just don't blame him,blame yourself.
    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 is just that: material . It's the emotional variables that really matter. That's the hardest hit from which to heal.

    That is a good bit of advice as well.

    For what it is worth, I know of some guys in Austin that I used to work for, (yes, RG was a licensed private investigator at one time) if you would like their address.

    They aren't quite "shady", but were very honest guys I would trust with anything. They wouldn't actively help you do anything illegal, but they wouldn't really ask what you would do with the information from their investigation either.

    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.

    The bottom line is you don't bring people you met at a bar to party at someone elses' house. Had they broken in and stolen everything it would be different, but he let these people in for a sex party so he would be paying for my . Either with Money or blood it would be his choice.

    Being robbed has got to be one of the ugliest feelings ever. I read all the posts in here and I can't shake drugs and payment , it keeps coming up ... 22k in drugs in a few days is a uva binge. Followed by rehab. Makes some sense.

    F'n bag housesitting of a friend. I hope you recover your computer man. All the rest doesnt matter , insurance can get it back. Stay strong.

    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.

    , when I think about it, I have the last pictures of my father on that computer.

    Bad day just got worse.
    As far as sentimental items you can't replace go, this one broke my heart. Having lost a father as well, I completely understand how valuable things like these are. I'm really sorry, bud.
