Somebody broke into my house

[Lars]

Today my castle was violated. Sometime mid morning some piece of shit scum bag mother fucker decided that he wanted what I had. The basement window was broke out and they made their entry. Luckily nobody was home. The house was not rummaged through as you would think, this was a quick grab and go. No major electronics where taken, the wife's jewelry and a few check books are gone. I made the worst mistake as a gun owner and left both gun safes unlocked after a range session the other day. By a stroke of luck no long guns are missing but they did take two pistols. Please be on the look out for a .25 auto derringer. It is a stainless frame with pearl grips. The other gun is a Ruger single six .22 Lr/ .22 mag revolver serial #26325856. They also took an IPad and the one that pisses me of the most is they took my two year old daughters piggy bank. My mother had it hand painted when she was born and has her name (Sydney) and her birth date (05/25/12) painted on it.

They didn't take a lot but that's what has me worried. I know they saw more and I'm wondering if they are planning on coming back. Security cameras and a complete system are on order for tomorrow. We all think this won't happen to us. We move to better neighborhoods, and do our best to give our kids what they need and want, but there are always lowlife shit heads that think they can take mine and yours. I will learn from this and adjust what I do and don't do. Keep you and yours safe.

Keep your head on a swivel...they knew you weren't there and had probably been watching you for a while. Maby local neighbors kid or something like that.

Sorry to hear about it.

Sorry to hear about this. Hope your stuff gets recovered.

[Lars]

It's not the items that were taken but they fact that my wife and kid almost both stayed home sick today. My two most precious things in life could have been in the house when these shitbags came into my home.

[Irving]

I know it isn't the things. I don't at all envy what you're feeling right now.

One thing to consider if they had been home. (Noise/car in driveway) They may not have broken in at all. Yes, burglars can be very dangerous, but there is also a reason many strike at day and not night like people commonly think.

Damn, sorry to heat about this. I've only had stuff stolen from a vehicle and that made me freaking furious. I can't imaging what your feeling now.

[Lex_Luthor]

Sorry to hear, that's terrible. I'd be pissed at them taking the piggy bank too. A few weeks ago, i apparently left our house completely open. Thankfully no one decided to come help themselves inside, but getting home to a wide open house was no fun.

Sorry to hear this. I think we have all forgotten the safe door in our lives. It really makes you wonder why this happens when you work so hard for what you have. I would recommend that you have a professional help you with the cameras and other setup. This MUST include two people walking around the property with comms on looking for blind spots. If any pictures are not clear enough to CLEARLY ID a person it is worthless. They also need to be out of the way and not reachable by the bad guys. Be carefull of internal cameras and your own privacy. The recording device should be hidden and on a backup power supply. Not sure what a "complete system" is but all system have weakness. If you want, PM me and we can talk.
