I had a car broken into, but there wasn’t anything worth taking, so they slashed a tire on their way out. Luckily they left enough clear fingerprints that they were actually ID’d and had to pay for my slashed tire. They had broken into several cars in the area and I guess their fingerprints on my window was their undoing.

Frankly it was more insulting that they didn’t think any of my stuff was worth taking. :/

Not mine but from me and it sucks a little. I had a great pair of safety boots, very understandable that they would go missing. I don’t have a locker as I don’t need one, still a little surprised they went missing.

cashmaggot OP ,

I always wonder whats up with people who steal shoes. Like, do you really fit them though? Wearing the wrong size fucks you feet up one way or another. So what all are they thinking there?

But also, work shoes are hellllluhhh expensiveeeee! I mean, when they're good. Or they can be absolute dog shit (but do what they've gotta do) and be cheap. But a good pair, I could see someone eyeballing. But when you show up to work in someone's shoes how do you explain you're not a premium fuck-face magee!?

Ty for sharing =)

One winter evening I got a notification about possible fraudulent charges on my credit card. I had not in fact gone to Redbox twice that day, so I told them to replace the card. I got home and really had to pee so I beelined it to the bathroom. It occurred to me that it was really cold inside for some reason, and when I got out of the bathroom I noticed the living room window was open. Then I looked around and noticed that on my way to the bathroom I had walked past a bunch of drawers and cabinets that were also open.

Luckily not much of consequence got stolen. Whoever it was probably didn’t have a car because everything that was taken was small. We had a nice TV and my ex had a nice computer that were both still there. On my end, I was missing that credit card (I had accidentally left it on my desk after making an online purchase) and my wedding and engagement rings. I was in the middle of a divorce and wasn’t going to keep them anyway, so hopefully someone else got some enjoyment out of them.

cashmaggot OP ,

Yo, that would scare the living shit out of me and I would be looking like a real psycho with whatever weapon I could make and teetering my short ass down the joint praying I don't have to come at anyone. Cause I sure as fuck would not be winning that fight. I am glad they ran off with your bs and that you guys were okay. But hot damn. I would be locking everything under the sun from that point on. We went through it once, a friend and I. They went through their window. Later a lady at the smoke shop (because I used to smoke beedis like a real sophisticated "gentleman") gave me the low-low for taking chunks of wood and putting ten pounds of screws in there. Up until that point I basically just would wedge it. Tbh though, while we ended up sleeping together (not like...sexually just we were both Scooby Doo levels of freaked out and would share my bed cause they didn't feel safe in their joint anymore). I just didn't feel the need for more than locking up and a plank. I think they just moved it cause they wanted fresh air and they got lazy with it and that's how stuff goes bad. I think about it sometimes, because I think it was the guys who lived behind us and were sweeter than pie to us. But I also once (when smoking one of my beedis like the "boss bitch" I was) saw something in the shadows and legitimately shouted "CREEPER, NO CREEPING!" Thank baby jesus that my buddies were outside with me cause it actually was a real ass creeper slinking around like a mother fucking creeper. And I think if it wasn't those dudes, it most def was that mother fucker. But either way, nasty people can get fucked.

Yeah, had a drug dealer burgle our apartment (just an opportunistic thing, spare keys had been left outside by a friend who was moving). Fortunately no-one was in, but it sucked to have to deal with all the damage and security.

We eventually tracked them down when they sold some stuff though and they were actually arrested and we got a few things back.

It was awesome the police actually raided them. Unfortunately the new government released them as prisoners with “non-violent” offences.

cashmaggot OP ,

I had a friend who made bad life choices and while I love them, they are most def not in my life anymore. They stayed up with a dealer and smoked a bunch of shit. The dealer, who is in one of the best pictures I've ever taken in my life by the by I think bitterly, proceeded to steal everything from this person. They met up while we were on a walk, and while my buddy used to buy weed off this person they started doing harder and harder drugs. But that's all to say this fuck-face magee stole everything they could from my buddy. They no longer could do their work, which was remote. They ended up homeless and got ultra fucked (literally and figuratively) while on the streets. I had just moved away, or else I woulda helped. But who the hell knows what that woulda brought in to my life. Sigh.

But fuck drug dealers. Most of them are total fucking assholes. I am glad you got the fkers. Surprised they got off, considering what they probably had around.

p.s. - This wasn't some tab shit btw. This was smoke up a lotta stuff and then gank kinda stuff.

Back in primary school someone stole one of my bakugan out of my bag. It was the snake trap which folded into a cylinder instead of a sphere like the normal ones. So sad.

SuspiciousCatThing ,

Ohhh that takes me back. I forgot all about those. I wasn’t really interested in them, but kids at my school were. I’d steal them from stores and trade them for stuff I actually wanted.

I always played with them a tiny bit before I’d trade them. They were pretty neat. Lots of different shapes. I have no idea how they were actually meant to be used. Hard nostalgia wave, though.

cashmaggot OP ,

Legitimately, while I write all this fuck thieves shit I will say that when I was a kid I sometimes got cheap stuff from a "friend" (who's name i sitll remember probably on account of being one of the only people around with green eyes, let alone being black with green eyes). He would always bring me stuff and trade me for things or if I had a little cash I could buy it. I later realized (much, much later) that he was stealing it from ???? but I def had a cd player from him and rocked it for like...fifteen years? So in one sense that's pretty cool, but in another it is a =(!

cashmaggot OP ,

I had Utena cards, freakin' UTENA CARDS. That someone once stole. Who wants Utena cards? At leaast way back when? Nobody but this bitch. Yet someone else took them and lord knows did what with them. But yeah, I feel this.

my father gave me a lesson once when my bike was stolen when i was a child. he told me that they did it because they felt they had to; not because they wanted to target me and that remaining angry about it was unproductive because they will never know nor care.

i try to apply that same lesson every time someone wrongs me.

cashmaggot OP ,

That's some good stuff. Like it's on them. It's why I try not to get upset if someone's having a mood swing or something. Cause that's on them, not me. But it can be harder to practice the more toes that get stepped on.

Catsrules ,

Someone stole my car’s owner manual.

cashmaggot OP ,

But not...the car? Eh...lucky?

Catsrules ,

And nothing else, not that i had much else in the car, but i had a dashcam and like a medical kit they didn’t touch. Super weird.

cashmaggot OP ,

Had a friend say that someone broke into their car to take sunglasses and nothing else. You know...the methed out heart wants, want the methed out heart wants.

Epzillon ,

Got one of those rare holo hieroglyph Mew pokemon cards stolen when i was a kid, i still think about it.

Pratai ,

Had a Yamaha R6 stolen from me a few months after I got it. Was barely broken in.

cashmaggot OP ,

That sucks. Idk what happens in this situation. Like, do they insure motorcycles? Idk. I also don't know how one keeps it from getting ganked outside of taking in indoors tbh. And that's not always viable. But I do know people who ride love it, so I hope you got another somewhere down the line.

Yes. The last six months of my life (time, stress, and thousands of dollars) taking in two wildly ungrateful and disrespectful people after they were evicted from their apartment. Well they’re now being removed from yet another place (my house) at the end of the month, willingly, or by escort from the sheriff.

Never again.

I’ve been robbed twice. The first time was a classic trick. One day after school, I was trading Pokémon cards as usual. I had just received a new pack and went to the kid who checked for fake cards. He told me that one card, the Kyogre EX, was fake. I was suspicious because I had mentioned that Kyogre was one of my favorites. He explained that the redness on the back and the paper thickness were off. I trusted him and showed him my entire collection, keeping the Kyogre. After chatting for a bit, I took my book and went home.

The next day, I did the same thing, but when I got home, my entire collection was gone. My mom called some teachers, and it was a big deal because losing something as a kid feels devastating. A few weeks later, the kid approached me and said he found something in the boys’ locker. I checked, and it was my collection, but my beloved Kyogre and Pikachu were missing. I asked him directly why he took those two cards, and he denied it. He offered to trade me for “similar” cards. I agreed, lost five cards, but got my two favorites back.

The second time I was robbed was about two years ago. A seemingly legitimate Amazon delivery driver rang my doorbell, handed me my package, and started making small talk about how beautiful my lawn was and how he wanted someone to make his lawn look like mine. At that moment, I had no idea what was happening. I later suspected that my bike and skis were taken and stuffed into the delivery van. To clarify, it wasn’t an Amazon Prime delivery, but it looked similar because of the blue color.

After the small talk, he said goodbye, and I checked my package. To my surprise, it was an old book, like the free ones libraries give away. I felt something was off, but since I’m not a morning person, I went to work without thinking much about it. When I got home and went through my usual routine, I felt like I had forgotten something. I remembered the Amazon guy and the package, and then I realized that Amazon doesn’t ship to my country. I know that sounds like an important detail to forget, but I can be pretty forgetful.

Confused, I checked my lawn and then turned my home upside down, quickly noticing my bike and skis were missing. The bike wasn’t a huge loss since I didn’t ride much, but it still hurt because bikes aren’t cheap. The skis were particularly upsetting because they were a gift from someone very important to me. Luckily, my insurance covered everything, but the sentimental value can never be replaced. The police were informed, and some of my neighbors were also missing items.

cashmaggot OP ,

a) Fuck that kid, he's probably a total dipshit to this day. I often wonder are people just born this way, or do they learn it by being around equally shitty people.

b) I'm not a morning person either. My brain never works, but especially prior to 10:30. It's like the wild west up in here. I'm sorry a dip decided to sketch you out of your safety. Again. I've lost sentimental stuff overtime and it smarts every time but in the end I always figure the bond (love) is bigger than the things. Even when it's like - familial stuff. Thank you for sharing though, it was a solid read. Big hugs!

feedum_sneedson ,

Many times! It’s shit.

cashmaggot OP ,

Yo, you're the two caution symbols person. I seen you around! He-yo! I scanned your so and such, cause I didn't know what all the symbols mean but I guess folks don't like your bluntness. Tbh I wish I could be more blunt, instead of running on like I know where I wanna get but can't figure out the right path. Blunt, and tactful. Both are good. Either way, I hope you are in a more stable and happier situation because it sounds like you've been shit kicked a lot. And that's no good, all around.

feedum_sneedson ,

Thanks!

cashmaggot OP ,

Yeah, no worries! Idk what all the sites mad at you for but I hope it turns around soon =)

Years ago my house was broken into and many things were taken, but not all the things you’d expect. They did take my PS3, laptop, and desktop but left the TV and all other electronics. Took only the Harry Potter movies from my bookcase of movies. Took a cheap anime sword. Among other odd things.

Honestly, it was mostly just inconvenient. Insurance gave me more than it was worth, even after I told them so.

However, it kinda looked like they knew what they were going for. Nothing was ransacked or anything. It wasn’t any of my current, at the time, friends but it may have been someone familiar with my place.

cashmaggot OP ,

This is going to sound janky but I wonder if the person knew you cause the very specific stuff they took. But it also sounds super paranoid and I am not trying to bring any of that into your life so scratch that and just let it go...oh shit - I see what all you say there. Yeah same though process. Probably just some asshole. Let it go~~~

Alexstarfire ,

It was a decade ago. It’s way in the past.

cashmaggot OP ,

The joys of shared housing =P!

Alexstarfire ,

I was living alone.

cashmaggot OP ,

Oh my b, I thought you were the person who was living with a couple of friends and the Harry Potter box-set was stolen among other things (a samurai sword?). The way the posts are displayed stuff is starting to merge into one giant blob. Not my favorite thing, the way stuff is nested/the reply structure. Apologies!

Alexstarfire ,

You got the stuff right. I was just living alone.

Lifecoach5000 ,

The was in the 90s when I was growing up. Some asshole straight up came into my parent’s house and took these expensive ass Guess shorts while I was napping. Also had my wallet and ID in there. In a few days, the ID showed back up in my mailbox. I have a feeling it was a scumbag dude I grew up with but I’ll never truly know for sure.

cashmaggot OP ,

Yo, at least you got the set back. But who the fuck does that? I hope that dude wasn't some kinda freaky ass pedophile who was coming for booty or some shit.
