Made new friends then we got robbed

[Chupaca]

Been there..!!

So we can sympathize with you. It will take a long time to get over but you will. Glad you are all fine and only have the mess to straighten up and replace whats missing if possible...ray:

 

[SpyderAnn01]

7 Handguns, 1 Rifle and a ton of ammo along with 3 backpacks to haul off the goods in. All the guns were registered so that helps a lot. I know that our insurance covers guns up to $10,000 but I'm not sure what the answer to Bob's question is.
and we do have replacement cost coverage.

On the bright side my closets are now organized again!

 

[witty]

Sorry to hear about your bad news. I hope things get better soon.:gaah:

 

[Ga Blue Knight]

Really glad you did not walk in on them! That could lead to all kinds of bad. Sorry about the break in!

 

[Daisyjoe]

BEEN THERE ALSO!! It is a terrible feeling knowing someone has been in your home. They never caught my thief. I am glad ya'll are OK.

 

[jerpinoy]

We cannot stop burglar,thieves unless thy're dead. or we can slow them down by having alarms, surveillance

camera. I installed a lot of cameras around my house even most of them are duds. Strange dogs don't

even try to get closes to my property.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: I have a warning signs "BEWARE DOG BITES" and "

"HOUSE OWNER BITE DOGS" :yes::yes::yes::yes:

 

[Bob Denman]

If it appeared that they targeted the firearms; could it be that they knew what to look for? :shocked:

 

[dave01]

Had 2 break-ins in 2 years. First one, the guns, tv and a lot of rc cars/helicopters taken.
The second one, I was home in the back of the house, they got in the garage and stole my atv. I really hate thieves. Sorry you had to go thru this. My place is now like Fort knox, cameras, motion sensors, audio recording etc. Taught my Furby to be a lookout for me too.

Robbery

Well yesterday started off great we had made plans to ride with a Spyder owner from Grand Junction, CO and his wife who are visiting Las Vegas. Joe and I and our Spyder friend Robin met Brent & Staci in the morning and we had a nice but hot ride through Red Rock Conservation area then lunch in Bonnie Springs. It was really nice to meet them and I hope they enjoy the rest of their trip.

We left them in the afternoon and went home and after dinner we took our dogs to the dog park around 9:00 pm like we do most every night. We got back home around 10:30 to find that our house had been ransacked and robbed. They had probably been watching our house and knew our habits and that we had guns. Or maybe they were just lucky. They made a real mess emptying out all of our dresser drawers and dumping everything on the floor in the closets. I wish they would have realized that I just have clothes in my drawers and closets!:sour:

I had the same thing happen to me. I used to live in Levittown and would come to my mothers house in a small town called Nanticoke PA to hunt deer for a week of vacation. My neighbor had a key to our house and nothing was bothered. In the local pa per there was an article that said if you are going away. :banghead:notify the local police and they would watch your house on there runs at night. On Monday morning our neighbor checked our house and there was a window smashed in our bedroom. That is how they got in. I had to cancel mt deer hunting and come home. Not saying the police had anything with it BUT.ssssssssssssss theretehere aaaaaaa wwwwwwwddddddd Ooooour neighbor MMMMMmmmmO

We had warranty work done on our house a couple weeks ago and those workers would have been able to tell that we had guns. Our dogs are good alarms but they were with us. I think we will start leaving 2 dogs at home and invest in some cameras.

 

[oldgoat]

As with all the others, I'm very sorry to read about the thefts. Happened twice to us, the first time they got my wife's engagement ring & we had only been married a year.

I am against capital punishment but if I had a gun & caught people in my house I'm pretty darn sure I would shoot the b**tards.

Hope the insurance claim goes smoothly.

 

[Netminder]

Also very sorry to hear this! We got robbed last year, didn't get much as we came home and they headed out the back, but they knew what we had . New alarm system, IP camera, bars on the windows. It is like Fort Knox which is sad because we live in the country, but we have to protect ourselves.

 

[IGETAROUND]

As was said sorry just doesn't cover this territory. Glad you and your spouse were not physically injured. "Stuff" can be replaced; you and a loved one can't!!! Glad you're both alright:yikes:

Did you have a gun safe?

 

[SpyderAnn01]

Did you have a gun safe?

Sadly we did not. My husband has been wanting one but it wasn't in the budget.

Sure sorry to hear about this. Been there... it sucks.

So guns were stolen? I absolutely hate to hear when that happens.... and it happens a lot. Now those guns will be used for other crimes... sold on the black market, etc.

No offense... but I really wish it was law that guns have to be properly locked up when you're away from them. I think that's only reasonable.

I had some gun safety instructors that went to a restaurant next to my business right after a training class... left the guns in the car and they were stolen while they ate. :banghead:

Things can be replaced, but it is difficult to regain a sense of security under such circumstances. Sure glad neither of you or your dogs were hurt. I've always felt a good big dog is a great deterrent... but then you risk them getting hurt.

Good luck with your settlement and re-securing your house!

 

[Desert Spyder]

I don't know much about guns other than they go boom but are thieves less inclined to take guns with trigger locks on them? I know many Spyder owners carry concealed weapons with or without a permit. And I can understand their reasons. I am considering getting a firearm in the future myself. America is not in Pleasantville any longer.

 

[Firefly]

Actually crime is much lower then back in the so-called 'good old days'.

It is? I googled up crime stats and found http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm

While it is true crime has been declining for the past 20 years, the time of Pleasantville was probably late 50s early 60s if not earlier. Murder today or 2011 is a little lower but look at rape! Three times higher!

Someone once told me the spark for the higher crime rate was the Kennedy assassination. I was 12 then. Six years later, or when the late Boomers were graduating, Vietnam was the daily headline. Look at those stats. It lasted a generation.

I expect this thread to be moved but I like a good conversation without too much debate.
