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.

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.

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!

I voluntarily pay the insurance company handsomely to mitigate my risk such that if an event like this occurs, the cost of that risk is distributed accross policy holders. That is a prudent and age-old concept of which I approve of greatly and I challenge you to find a statement where I say otherwise. Anybody who does not have adaquete insurance or who is not otherwise self-insured is, quite frankly, a fool.

No I didn't. I live in an urban area, genius.

Or rather a typical mentality of somebody who has been so thoroughly lashed to reach for some reason to find me inferior to you. Yes, I was quite astonished at the stupidity of their choices and mentioned it to the cop. He agreed that those types of people tend to be "idiots". Say, are you a burgler?

Since I am prudently insured, there is no need to and that does not offend my sensibilities in the least. But just for fun, I'm going to request a tape from our gate's security camera to see if I can find a suspicious license plate or two. I'll be sure to pay special attention to ratty cars with anti-Bush bumper stickers.

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.

Well, I don't know why you got voted down for this. It's a pretty crappy thing to have happened. Worse still, they could have entered with guns while you were in the house. As for the hippy part - isn't it the time of year that the Republican party collects their annual fees? ;P They left your computer I take it?

Deep down inside I already knew the answer. It's a clue! You need to look for thieves who were/are Dell owners! Having taken two desktop computers, they obviously had a vehicle and some time on their hands to go back and forth from your house. Your neighbours didn't see anything? :confused:

I've heard about robbers letting pit bulls into houses with dogs to kill the dog before going in to rob the house. So not only is your stuff stolen, you have to clean up the bloody remains of the family dog.

Well...The thing is, I have a deck that backs up onto a wooded area that is several acres in size with a pond adjacent. They took some rather bulky stuff, but left behind a couple of larger items like a Printer/Copier (which they set down near their exit). They climbed my deck, entered through the rear door, had their fun and then (I believe) exited through the back again. I think the front door was locked, and they had piled stuff near the back, so I think they escaped through the rear woods and then hopped the fence. Most of my neighbors are at work during the day, but I've only had a chance to ask one and he didn't see anything. Aside from a car that was stolen 4 years ago, this is apparently the only incident of reported crime in the neighborhood in the roughly 6 years I've lived there. I think they targetted my place because it is kind of nestled in trees, which offer good cover.

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.

I have had numerous conversations with victims of property crime and they all sound the same: "They took my CDs, but not my Best Buy gift card! Idiots!". Of course, the real idiot is the person that is missing their CDs, and the victim knows this.

Who cares if there's a criminal out there? As long as you get your money! Forget about who else may be victimized or hurt by a burgular, as long as you get your check, right?

Oh no, of course not, you were not upset in the least at getting ripped off for seven grand.

Too bad you hadn't bought the guns before you got robbed, so that the thief could have taken those too! Funny how you have a delusion that a gun would have solved your problem. Or are you afraid you'll be such a safe and comfortable sleeper that your wife will have to wake you up by shooting off a couple of rounds? You're hilarious, oh of course you're not worried or upset, you are just going out to buy some guns, everybody does that when they're bored. I am sorry you got robbed, honestly, it is very stressful and can worry you for your safety. However, you deserve it, so I am conflicted. :confused:
