I came home today to find my Apt. broken into.

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

They trashed the living room. Broke my coffee table. Broke my handmade chinese red mahogany table. Broke my 2 chinese lamps. Ripped the Rug. Flipped the couch and broke a hole in the wall. Broke some picture frames. Broke a coat rack. Kicked the door in. And stole... My 360. Left the big screen HD TV. Left the Blu-Ray. Left all the DVDs and Games. Left the CPU. WTF.
The tracks he left on the door were covered in cooking grease, size 13. I'm on the hunt for a large cook who enjoys video games. If I find him he is dead. Wish me luck.

That sucks man. My condolences.

The tracks he left on the door were covered in coking grease, size 13. I'm on the hunt for a large cook who likes video games. If I find him he is dead. Wish me luck.

You need any help hunting him down, you let me know.

Thanks for the condolences guys.. I've dug around some more. There is a fresh Oil stain in my parking area, and I found white threads from where he ripped his shirt on a corner of the entertainment system. I feel like pulling a Vic Mackey. There is a kid who was stalking my neighbor a month ago. He was peeping in her bathroom window and she called me and I ran him off. He's a kid but big enough for a size 13 shoe. Told the cops and they remembered the kid (small town). They said he's robbed people before and has a history of this kind of thing. They are on the way to his house to ask him some questions. Probably my only shot at getting any kind of resolution.


Grrrrrrr

Sorry about that man. That sucks.

I bet that's who it was too, especially considering the description of your place. One or two things stolen and everything else destroyed? Definitely a "I'm here to get revenge" kind of thing. I've watched enough Law & Order to know how it works, dammit.

Good luck.

Good luck getting justice. People like that deserve to live behind bars where they don't get to destroy anything nice.

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Thank for the support everyone.

The cop said that the kid isn't living with his parents anymore, and hes in the process of finding who hes staying with. Good news is, I got a number for "microsofts crime team". Yes thats a real name. It is for law-enforcement only, It will put a "watch" on my Live account and look for my MAC add. If he logs on just for a second it will log the address and send it to the cops. If it was the kid I'm sure hes not smart enough to think about that and will probably just wipe the HD and put it on-line as soon as he gets cables for it. Also, I googled and found where a colleg kid found his stolen 360 on campus, by using the controller and walking around til it was in range to turn solid green. The range is 30 ft, so I'm thinking, sometime the next couple days Ill start patrolling the APT complex with my controller looking for a signal, since it is def possible someone living here took it if it wasn't the other guy. Fingers Crossed.

Yea. I just don't get the robbery thing.. I grew up poor and it never crossed my mind. Must be some kind of A-Hole to be able to do something like that and live with it.

[Lauren T.]

Good luck, FSM -- hopefully your sleuthing skills pay off!

[The Rap]

To me the silver lining here might be the start of a career as a CSI and like for you. Good luck catching the guy who did it as I rememebr the thing that bothered me when I was robbed twice was more the violation of my space than the value of what was took.

Contact Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) ASAP! There's no crime that man can't solve.

That's an excellent point. Someone tried breaking into my car and in the process wedged the passenger window out of its track. I would honestly rather just give them the item they want or give them cash than have them break into my space and in the process damage other stuff. If they just knocked on my door and asked me for it, we could both save ourselves significant trouble. :rolleyes:

I used to own a Jeep with canvas windows and they were cut into, rather than unzipped from the outside (STILL think it takes longer to cut) and they took my change in the ashtray. they took the ashtray, too. It made me wanna just leave it unlocked with the windows down all the time or something. Except not.

Good luck finding the weasel!

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Well, I haven't stopped looking for the people who broke into my house. I started talking to all the kids in town I could find offering a reward for any info. 2 weeks ago had a kid come tell me another guy was bragging about stealing a 360 and breaking into a couple cars. It matched up to my break-in. Called the cops and got the kid to give a statement. I Found the kids myspace and then though his friend, got an address and gave it to the cops. The cops called today and said he and 2 others admitted to my break-in among other burglaries, and he said they are on they're way to his house in the morning with search warrants. Don't know if I'll get my stuff back, but the guy had my 360 2 wks ago when he was bragging about it to this other kid. Said he gave it to his cousin, one of the accomplices. So maybe I'll get the bastard and my stuff, plus some other people will get some justice out of it. Short and sweet version but I gotta run, just had to tell someone :D

:D:):thumbsup:

[Andy G.]

That is awesome. Seriously. Most people would have let the kid get away with it. Kudos.

[hoosjon]

No doubt ... my parents live in the STICKS and got a lot of stuff stolen from their house, and the police said the right things and just let it lie. Good job on continuing to keep the "heat" on the cops AND the robbers! Hope you get a lot of your stuff back!

Thx for updating us, too! Gives me hope the world isn't as terrible out there!

[Wahoo]

That is awesome. Seriously. Most people would have let the kid get away with it. Kudos.


No kidding. It's nice to see one of the few instances of where they actually find the perp.

[JanShan12]

Glad everything is working out for you. Crazy story, but it sounds like it's going to have a good ending. You put a lot of work into it and deserve some positive results.

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Thanks guys . The main reason I was so adamant about finding these people, is because they've broken into many homes and cars around town (very small town, pop around 500) and have people really upset. My neighbor is a 20 yr old chick with a one yr old son who lives alone. She is afraid to answer her door at night and went out and bought a handgun. There are a lot of kids in the area and it just pissed me off how this little hick town had to be on lockdown like we were living in downtown Detroit.

I have no doubt the cops around here would have let it go had I not kept pressuring them. They have a reputation of trying to talk people out of pressing charges to avoid paperwork.... When I told them who the kid was and where he lived it took them 10 days to go talk to him. They kept telling me they tried to go by but no one was home, and every time I went by the house I saw people there. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to go talk to the kids parents myself. But it seems to be working out now though.

Still don't know if I'll get my stuff back, or if they will make the kids parents pay for all my stuff they trashed/destroyed, but I should know something soon. I'll post and update when I find out. Either way, I feel a whole lot better now.
