    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.

      too easy to get caught with these days and dirty leftist hippies know this. I've had this happen to me a few time in my parents neighborhood. one time i was 200% sure it was a rightist because they took my stereo, glued a bush / cheney sticker to my windshield, and left me an NRA membership registration sheet in my passenger seat.

        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.

          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.

            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.

              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.

                  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.

                                Sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to a friend just this week, and CP's Lauren was robbed at gun point as well.

                                I do not believe they are right who say that the defects of famous men should be ignored. I think it is better that we should know them. Then, though we are conscious of having faults as glaring as theirs, we can believe that that is no hindrance to our achieving also something of their virtues. - W. Somerset Maugham My New Blog

                                  Why don't you see if you can't break a few more things around the house and blame it one them?* :) *Not that I would advocate such a course of action, you understand, but perhaps somethings got "damaged" that you haven't noticed yet...

                                    If only I'd known that taking the Wii was so painful to you . maybe I'd have been more careful in past posts, or perhaps not. :laugh:

                                        Oh please. This was much bigger than you. Obviously the Federal Reserve is somehow involved.

                                          No No No. It has got to be those dastardly agents from Redmond - they want you to stop playing make-belief tennis and play their new halo 3 on a new xbox 360 :-D
