i got robbed

[Illuminae]

hey everyone. i need to vent about this and since im in kirupaland more then reality lately, i think you will understand. hehe.
my jeep was broken into last night. the guy/girl must have been a real idiot for sure, cuz they didnt even manage to get my stereo.
apaprently, they broke in through the side window, and unlocked the door. then they went for the stereo, but since it was bolted in, they decided to smash in the dashboard. they still couldnt get the thing though, cuz it was bolted to the actual framework of the car. then they went through all my sheet and stole my paperwork. the idiots must have seen soemone nearby though, because they got outta there quick... they left my amp and my kickers and stuff. they also managed to cut themselves on the dashboard and leave some nice blood all over the place. idiot.
as soon as i found it this afternoon, i cancelled my credit cards, and closed my bank account. so they cant get any money from me which is good. but i'm concerned cuz they have all my info like my addy and stuff. which concerns me about identity fraud and stuff like that. should i be worried? it shouldnt be a problem, but i am so paranoid right now. do you think that they could do anything with that? i mean, realisticly, this was probably a small time junkie or soemthing, so they shouldnt have the know how to do any of that, right??
anyway, a very nice detective came down like 1/2 hour after i called the cops, and swabbed the blood and took prints. he said they normally don't do that, but since there was blood and also cuz the lady i spoke with said i sounded nice and also very upset, that they would make an exception and come. which is sooo cool. god do i love the boston police.
anywhoo. this shouldn't really be upsetting me, cuz all my valuables are still there, but i'm still super frazzled. ive been shaking for like 2 hours. i feel so.. freikin violated. am i being stupid? please, someone tell me that i am cuz maybe then i will stop feeling this way.
oh man. i thought back bay was kinda safe for a city area. guess they proved me wrong. i know this stuff happens all the time. but omg. im just.. omg.

[pinx]

i think you'll be ok. just try to calm down. it's good that you cancelled all your credit cards and such. :(

[Illuminae]

thanks pinx. :) the thought of the eclipse is keeping me calmer right now. hehe.

[pinx]

it's REALLY overcast here. i'm thinking it won't be happening for me here which is sad.

[Illuminae]

poo :( its crappy here too. im sure some kirupan will get nice pics though

[ahmed]

wow.. does stuff like that really happen where you live? :!:

Hope it all gets sorted out.. who did it sure is an idiot :-\

[Illuminae]

thanks :) it happens all the time. i just was stupid and thought not so much in a neighborhood like this. ah well, we live and we learn

[grimdeath]

you should be happy, it coulda been worse like they couldve stole your car with all the stuff it had inside, you did the right thing in cancelling all your cc and bank accounts, just thank god it wasnt worse :beam: be happy happy joy joy like your footer says you lived to talk about it not many people are that lucky

[Kel - 420]

You’re right, it does happen all the time but that doesn’t make it any better when it happens to you. Have a stiff drink and vent some more, then it should be out of your system. I guess it’s time for a motion alarm.

Hope you’re not too down about it.

[Illuminae]

see, heres the even stupider part. i have an alarm. but it wasnt on because, over here, we have tandem parking. which means its two spots one behind the other. so my neighbor and i share the spot, and we exchange keys this way if we need to move the cars around we can. but he doesnt have the little remote clicker, cuz i have one being ordered for him right now, so until it comes, i cant have the alarm on. hehe. that makes me feel even stupider. ugh.

[Kel - 420]

oops :S

[Soul]

Whens the eclipse? :)

- Soul :s:

[Illuminae]

tonight. theres a thread around here somewhere. :)

[Soul]

*looks*

[mjULTRA]

sorry to hear about your misfortune. Just take comfort in the fact, that in some parallel universe in another dimension, there is a naked thief stuck to a jeep with superglue..

[Soul]

Hahaha! :beam:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Do we even get to see the eclipse from here?

[pinx]

YES

[Kitiara]

From England? You sure? :) Cause it's a lovely clear night...

[pinx]

all of europe, america and asia can see it tonite. your viewing times are going to be different but you'll be able to see it.

[Kitiara]

<b>*Hunts for European times*</b> I'll bet I've missed it, it's gone midnight here now... :(

[Kel - 420]

I think it's in about 4hrs time

[Kitiara]

4am? Argh.

[mjULTRA]

if it han't happened here, how could it have happened there? we both look at the same moon, don't we??

[Iammontoya]

haha.. that happened to me. They threw a brick through my window and the idiots took a cel phone and some loose change. They failed to take my pda, two laptops, 1 vcr, checkbook, wallet, sunglasses, etc....

Insurance covered the loss. No big deal.

Just think... It could have been much, much worse.

wow, the must of been blind not to see all of that. lol but good thing they didnt.:)

golgi - sorry to hear about that, i hope they catch them

[Kajinku]

You did a wise thing by blocking your credit cards and stuff. It certainly sucks when something like this happens. Some guy stole my mum's wallet in a store once. That same evening, a lady from some store calls to say she found her wallet in her trash can. The store was located 3 cities from the place we live. Everything was still there, except for the money... 20 Euros or something.

I had my system ripped off 2 years ago.

The bastard smashed out a side window and ripped out my 600 deck from my caddi.

They originally tried to pry open the passenger side door (ruining the power window) They got frustrated with apparently how hard my car was t get into and they smashed in my winshield too.

The beautiful thing was I didnt have glass coverage so I had to eat the cost of 3 new windows.

The idiot left a $3000 LCD proector in the back seat, and all my subs and 2 amps in the trunk.

Most thieves are not that bright.

[Demonia]

Sorry Golgi, that's nasty ... I know what you mean about feeling violated. I had my car broken into twice in 3 weeks (feels great)

On a lighter note ... here's a story about a really really stupid thief. About 3 years ago a company opened up in the house next door to mine and it happens to be a security company - bodyguards and alarm systems and so on. So anyway about 2 months ago around 4 am we here a sound like an alarm and it seems to be coming from the van these guys have for transporting valuables with the company name on it and everything (I mean it says SECURITY on it in huge letters). Unfortunately all the guys were out on patrol so my dad decides to call up the general manager (with whom he is good friends now) and tells him about it but the guy claims high and low that there is no alarm on the van. Anyway all the guys turn up within 5 mins and give this guy a good beating (this is Romania and when they catch a thief or any other criminal red-handed they give him a real good beating - police included) then the police turn up and proceed to finish the beating. Now, the funny bit we found out the second day. When the complete and total cretin tried to hotwire the car he in fact hotwired the SIREN :beam: . And instead of running away he kept on trying to hotwire the car (mind u he didn't try to stop the siren). Stupid idiot....

D :P

[Illuminae]

haha, thats a great story demonia.
hey, thanks to everyone for your kind words. :) you kirupans really helped me stay sane the other night. hehe. and the good news is, i have good insurance, and they will pay for my cd player to be replaced (cuz the dude/girl broke it when they tried to get it). :beam:

maybe you were just drunk that night and you were looking for your cell phone and the change :P

[UNFLUX]

ok I'll share -

i had my stereo stolen just a few months ago...

I was being sent into DC to do an install, and I loathe driving in
DC. If you've ever been there, you'd know why...

So, I decided to take the Metrorail (subway) in. I parked and rode
the train from the last station on the line, and the safest
neighborhood possible - or at least I thought so.

After a long, b-i-t-c-h of a day, about 35 degrees and raining
now, I got back to my car and nothing worked. My keyless entry
was not responding and the alarm didn't go off when I used the
key to get in. Usually it would.

When I sat in the car, I realized the gaping hole in my dash. I also
noticed that nothing was working, power or ignition. I popped
the hood and saw that they had disconnected my battery to
disable the alarm. So this means in less than 10 seconds, they
were able to slim-jim in and disable my battery.

Totally clean rip. No marks and no damage. They were pros IMO.
I lost approx $3000 worth of stuff, incuding a 200 cd book full of
cd's.

When I approached the security office about it, there was a girl in
there talking to them already, because her stereo had also been
stolen at the same time mine was. The security guards were free
to deliver the information that we were #'s 6 and 7 today for that.
And that if we had anything to report, to give it to the police. :sigh:

[mdipi]

ouch unflux that really sucks. did you get anything from insurance?
