Cube Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I found out this morning that my (and my uni housemates') house was robbed last night. They took 3 laptops, 2 cameras, my Wii, DS, a load of games and some money. The police have been round, didn't find much and none of us have house insurance. I just don't know what to say.
Slaggis Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Jesus thats terrible! Have the police been checking for fingerptints on anything etc to see if they can find the guys that did it?
Daft Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Ouch! I'm sorry to here that...Do you know how they got in?
Cube Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 Jesus thats terrible! Have the police been checking for fingerptints on anything etc to see if they can find the guys that did it? Yup. All they could find out were that gloves were used. Ouch! I'm sorry to here that...Do you know how they got in? Lockpicked through the back door.
ShadowV7 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 So sorry to hear that Cube.Hope the police find the people that done it soon
Tellyn Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Crap, that's terrible Cube. I don't know what to say either. Bastards.
Hellfire Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 What? Fuuck, that sucks. I'm really sorry man...
S.C.G Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I have no respect for people who thoughtlessly take stuff that isn't theirs with no thought towards what the belongings might mean to the people who own them, it's disgraceful and there is no excuse for it. I'm sorry to hear that this has happened Cube, I hope they catch whoever did this and make them compensate both you and your housemates.
EchoDesiato Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Oh man, I'm so sorry for you! Such a shitty thing to happen, I hope they get caught and you get your stuff back. It's not very likely... but still.
Cube Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 Only 8 games were taken. I don't have a huge amount of time to play my older games, so I'm off to GameStation with everything but Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Zelda CE, Excite Truck and Table Tennis (as the last is a game to review, and MP3 was taken). They can't do much good on their own, anyway.
Platty Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Oh damn man sorry to hear that. After a good night at the Guitar Hero 3 launch party aswell. Scumbags.
Guest Stefkov Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Yup. All they could find out were that gloves were used. You know what kind of gloves. Can they not get the fingerprints from inside the glove? Like go all CSI. Sorry to hear that though. How you gonna get anything back, you say you had no insurance so..I can't even think what I would do in that situation.
rokhed00 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Shit happens, don't know why you even bothered calling the police, they'll never catch who did it or get your stuff back, the only reason to call the police in such a situation would be for the insurance, but as you don't have any I don't know why you bothered.
flameboy Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Sorry to hear that mate. Must really suck...All I can recommend is to get insurance next time, must be gut wrenching selling your game collection...
Marshmellow Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Damn Cube that really sucks. I hope the police find the guy(s) and you get all your stuff back.
Fierce_LiNk Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Sorry to hear about that, mate. That's awful, being forced to give away your games, as well. Did they go into each bedroom, or was all that in the living room?
Cube Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 Shit happens, don't know why you even bothered calling the police, they'll never catch who did it or get your stuff back, the only reason to call the police in such a situation would be for the insurance, but as you don't have any I don't know why you bothered. A few people had uni essays (as in 30% of a module) due in the next day on their computers (backed up on USB drives which were taken). So the police were needed for them to get a time extension. That's awful, being forced to give away your games, as well. Did they go into each bedroom, or was all that in the living room? They raided every room, and took what they though was worth a lot and was of a decent size (my PC/Monitor is fine). Anyway, I'll be getting a new Wii on Tuesday/Wednesday from the money I got from most of the games that were left (which I wouldn't play much anyway). It still sucks big time.
ReZourceman Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Damn, Really sorry to hear that Cube. Totally should of had insurance though to be fair.
Rummy Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 That is so sucky, I'd go totally mental if I got robbed. Though I also feel like being the annoying voice of reason and saying that you guys should have had some insurance. Really sorry to hear about that.
welsh_gamer Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Gutted. Can't imagine how you guy's are feeling. People never think it's gonna happen to them do they.
Charlie Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 That's absolutely terrible. Have you checked with your Landlord to see if they have any generic house/contents insurance for the whole building?
gaggle64 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Damn, just really bad luck there. Sounds like you got done by pros with the gloves and lock pick and everything. Your probably not the first, or the last. Just gotta hope for the best that the cops manage to nab the bastards.
