Title: I got robbed
Post by: icecycle66 on May 25, 2013, 03:59:48 AM
Man, you know what's bullshit.  Gettin' robbed.  Gettin' robbed is bullshit.

The wife and I are just about done moving.  All we have left is the garage and the shed. Well, just the garage now. While we were away somebody busted into my shed and took just about everything.  All that was left was lawnmower, a propane burner, and some scrap lumber.

Stuff that went missing was my work bench, dremel, all my dremel stuff (Bits, cutters, grinder, collets, drill press tool), all my etchant solution, all my drill bits (luckily my good drill had already been moved to the new place to hang pictures and stuff.) Some fucking Miracle-Gro soil is gone. My spray paints, rubber coating, and clear coating were all gone.

ARRRGGGGHHHHHH fuck those guys.

It's horrible of me to say this, but a small part of me hopes that you were keeping the old etchant in a coke bottle.

Sorry to hear this dude. Hopefully they get caught by a big guard dog next time that bites their nuts off!

I've just shown this to the misses as explained this is the reason why I keep all my tools and everything else in the shed in the house. All I have is a heaters etchant tank (filled with ferric chloride) which will hopefully cover a thief head to toe, lawn mower and some cheap garden furniture.

I was thinking this. Sorry to hear about it, Angelo. Hopefully insurance will cover it. :(

Ya know what's worse than gettin' robbed?
Havin' to live someplace where assholes steal Miracle Gro.
Be glad all they took was some shit in the shed and not the peace of mind of a wife or child.  Not everybody can replace what gets stolen.
OK, lesson over - you're right icecycle, that sucks. Sorry to hear you got robbed, happy to hear you moved from wherever that was.

I have been robbed.  It is a real violation.  Hope they go to butt rape prison. 

My students tell stories all the time about stealing wiring and all kinds of weird stuff.  They can never figure out why the cops know the details and where to find the evidence after they are arrested.  I guess I am unofficially in deep cover.

Damn man sorry to hear that. I wish you well.


Here is a feel good story:
Many years ago me and a bud walked out of a party suddenly seeing a guy bolting away from my friends truck with stolen property in-hand. My friend being a mean, scrappy little SOB runs this fucker down and delivers him a severe ass-beating and consequently gets is stuff back.

I wish your scenario played out like that   ;)
