    At least you won't have to worry about identity fraud. But you should have them hidden (locked) away as they are potentially more lucrative to a criminal than your household goods.

    Yeah, we have two safes but they're just such a pain to open. :)

    Yeah. Fortunately. Basically I'm out the $500 deductible but should be compensated in all new electronics. It's actually not that bad a deal when all is said and done. Insurance turns out to be a good thing every once in a while.

      Although to me it might be worth much more. You see, I have replacement insurance which means that the insurance company has to replace the stolen item with a new "comparable" item. Do they still sell the old XBox new? If not, I might be able to get a brand new XBox 360.

      Well they took a cell phone nearby. Tim Craig will be happy to know that they also left behind my wife's Christian Dior handbag. Morons.

        I feel your pain...I got robbed several years back when I lived in the city. At the time, I thought it was kids because they walked by some high dollar stuff to take a few not so valuable things. They also took a 1/3 full 5 gallon glass jar of pennies, which to me wouldn't offer a large enough return for the effort required to take it. We called the cops, who seemed indifferent to our plight. It did freak my wife out, which I think hastened our move to the country side.

        The wife is a bit freaked and neither of us slept well last night. But instad of moving, I'm thinking we'll install laser beams.

                      I got robbed. :( Some dirty leftist hippies snuck into by back door and took about $7,000 in electronics and cash while I and (fortunately) my wife were out. How do I know they were "dirty leftist hippies", you ask? Because while they stopped to swipe a 5-year old XBox, they passed on fairly expensive watches, jewelry, financial statements and check books sitting in plain view. They also broke a high definition projector by ripping it from its mount instead of gently unscrewing it. Only dirty, leftist hippies could be that stupid.

                                    I got robbed. :( Some dirty leftist hippies snuck into by back door and took about $7,000 in electronics and cash while I and (fortunately) my wife were out. How do I know they were "dirty leftist hippies", you ask? Because while they stopped to swipe a 5-year old XBox, they passed on fairly expensive watches, jewelry, financial statements and check books sitting in plain view. They also broke a high definition projector by ripping it from its mount instead of gently unscrewing it. Only dirty, leftist hippies could be that stupid.

                                      In all fairness someone who's first language is not UK English couldn't really be expected to get that one first time round. I was only take the Wii after all. :laugh:

                                        lower deductibles cost more in payments. I'm not sure what the numbers on my renters insurance are, but going from a $100/250 to a 250/1000 deductible on my car is saving me ~$500/year. Having to pay the extra $750 if I wreck would suck but I'm not that bad a driver.

                                          Come on, Red, where's your personal responsibility? I hope you're not going to allow the insurance company to pay for it, meaning the policyholders are subsidizing your lack of basic security. Here are some other entertaining observations: -You moved to the 'burbs to escape crime, yet you have been victimized and I have not. Ironic, don'cha think? -Typical of a victim of property crime, you are trying to insult those that took advantage of you by critiquing their choices in stolen items,technique, etc. This is typical victim mentality, trying to find some superiority for yourself in a situation where you have clearly been treated as inferior. -Good luck getting your precious police force to track down the stolen property or make any leads on the case! -Perhaps if you had focused more of your time and energy on people (yourself, your fellow citizens, your family) instead of property, you couldn't have had so much taken away from you so easily. Have a great night's sleep!
