:woohoo: my house was just broken into!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

In broad daylight!

My parents and my sister were going away for a few days, and they get a call from the neighbor saying the alarm was going off. 20 minutes later a detective called saying the hose was almost robbed.

They used a crowbar and broke the back-door off. They didn't get anything but left a few finger prints. There is a CSI team now checking out the house. My parents and my sis are a bit freaked :scared: as am I

great way to start the week off!

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Shit, that's scary.

At least everyone is okay and they never took anything.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

2. thank goodness everyone is ok....

i dont care about the stuff, just that my family is safe. but damn! that is some fucked up shit

[progmom]

3. yikes!

That's terrifying! :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

4. i was just home over the weekend

and me an my sis were talking about scary situations just like this! :scared:

my mom says she feels so violated....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear MAHNY!

How scary is that! Thank goodness, your family is OK!

And thank goodness there was an alarm that was turned on, too!

Those things can be really helpful.....

And maybe the police will get some info from the fingerprints.....

Here, sweetie......have some hugs! :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

7. I need many hugs

it is so scary! thank goodness no one was home at the time....im all a flutter and cant concentrate on work now...

[bigwillq]

6. Oh babe.

That is awful. :hug: Good thing the family is ok. IF they did take anything, at least all that stuff could be replaced; the family cannot be.

Yeah, my parents place was broken into before I was born and my mom said she felt very violated and didn't feel comfortable in that place after it happened.

I hope the CSI team can identify who did this.


:hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

[jonnyblitz]

13. damn..

:hi: :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

14. damn is right

:hug:

[tjwmason]

15. That's not fun.

When I was a nipper we were broken into a few times - the material possessions don't really matter, but the thought of somebody being in one's house roaming around it.

Major big :hug: :hug: :hug: for you.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

21. its just so violating

and not in that good kinda way ;)

thanks Tj :hug:

[swimboy]

16. Whoa! I'm glad everyone's okay!

:hug: That is freaky. I wish I could help you calm down. It does upset you for quite a while. When I was in school someone broke in my house I rented with four other guys and set fire to it. It made me ill. I'm sorry. I hope they'll be able to catch the persons who did it.

I'm thinking about you. :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

22. wow, that story is even worse then mine!

set fire to it?!??!?! majorly :scared:

im just happy my family is OK. thanks swinboy :hug:

[flamingyouth]

17. Scary!

Glad you had your alarm set! I always have mine on during the day too. Yikes. Glad they didn't get anything and that everyone is okay!!! :pals:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

23. yea, thanks goodness for that alarm system

the police say the robber bolted casue he set off the alarm. Im just so happy no one was home... :pals:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. sorry love

:hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

24. thanks lioness

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

19. That is awful!

I'm glad no one was home at the time. Nobody was hurt, nothing was taken.

I know how scared you all must feel. My apartment was broken into when I lived in Sheepshead Bay.

How long will it take to repair the damaged door?

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

25. They had a contractor come and do a quick

and dirty job to get the door up and locked into place, but they have to get a whole new door frame and new door which will take a few days...

its just so violating...my mom doesn't even want to be in the house anymore.

thanks for the loving Joani! :hug:

[LaraMN]

20. Jeebus!

I'm glad they didn't get anything, but still...:scared:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

26. yea, im still freaked by it....

im still getting the hibijibies from this...

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

27. I am so sorry

I remember when I was a teenager, my parents house was burglarized. I felt so violated.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

29. thanks KW

this is the first time something like this has happened to my family after living in this house for almost 2 decades.....its still kinda surreal to me...

[Shine]

28. I'm so sorry, my friend. What a violation.

I'm glad nothing was taken, though.

I would suggest doing something symbolic to reclaim your space. Light a candle, speak your intention for Safety and Protection, burn some sage to clear out the bad vibes....

That's what I would do, anyway.

Good luck and all my best to you.
:hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

30. Im sure my mom is already on the

way to get a few candles and other items to clear out that bad karma from the house.

Thank you so very much for those kind words Shine :hug:

[Shine]

31. Sounds like your mom is a wise woman, indeed.

May your Home be Safe, Protected and Well.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

32. .

:hug: thanks again Shine

[jus_the_facts]

33. Aww MAN....so glad nobody was home.....

...and ya'll had an alarm!! And you're OKAY! :scared:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

34. thanks goodness no one was home

[jus_the_facts]

37. sure hate hearin' it happened....ya'll take care......

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

38. thanks jus_the_facts

you are a true hottie...er...i mean friend ;)

[jus_the_facts]

39. You're most welcome.....the feelin's mutual....

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

35. Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad nobody was there.

That crowbar could've been used to break off more than the back door.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

36. thats whats so scary about it....

if my parents/sister were still home who knows what this could have turned into :scared:


hold me :P

[flvegan]

43. Consider yourself held.

I'm glad that this is the only statistic you and your loved ones became a part of today.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

44. thanks flvegan

:hug:

[Left Is Write]

40. Oooh...that's scary.

I'm glad no one was hurt (and that the crooks didn't get anything).

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

45. oh yea

thanks LiW :hug:

[Fleshdancer]

41. When I was a kid, my family walked in on a robber

As we walked through the front door, some punk ass kid was straddling the kitchen window trying to pull himself into our house. The only thing I remember was seeing the startled look on his face and then a sudden blur of my father running toward him and following him out the window (why didn't my dad just go out the back door?)

Dad caught him less than half a block away and Mom called the police. It's creepy to think about it now, but I don't recall feeling scared at the time.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

46. Thats a wild story!

he followed him through the window! :rofl:

[Fleshdancer]

48. yep! He jumped right out....reflexes like a cat!

My father was career military and in good shape but the window jump still impresses me. :rofl:

I forgot to mention before that I'm sorry for your experience. A robber has to be pretty committed to breaking into a house if they're taking a freakin' crowbar to the back door. Most burglers search for unlocked doors instead (that's what 20/20 told me many years ago anyway).

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

49. I have a theory on what happened

I think someone saw my parents packing the car up in the front of the house and they just jumped on the opportunity. the police contend that robbers don't do drive around and look for opportunities and my mom thinks it was the garbage men...:shrug:

thanks Gloria :hug:

[ThomCat]

42. I hope it turns out that they really didn't get anything.

And I hope the cops get them.

btw: We missed you on Saturday night. I was looking forward to meeting you. Now you'll have to promise to show up at the next meet-up. :)

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

47. i hope the cops find them too!

but who knows, sigh.

Im sorry I missed it :grr: I was home with my family...lol, they coulda used it today though

[Sugar Smack]

50. HONEY.

I am so sorry to hear that. I have a lot of maniacs hanging around my apt. complex. It's something I fear too; my biggest fear is that my cat wil get out.

I'm so glad you're OK.

:hug: :loveya:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

51. I think you've posted about some of the crazy shit that goes on

at your complex :scared: i think having to endure stress everyday like that is worse then a one off experience :hug:

thanks Sugar! :loveya:

[LibDemAlways]

52. In my neighborhood there are

gardeners around every day. Sometimes the guys will sit at the curb when they're finished with a lawn and just watch people coming and going. Last summer two houses on the street were burglarized in broad daylight. I'm convinced it was a couple of these guys - crimes of opportunity. Since then we've installed a burglar alarm and turn it on whenever we leave.

By the way, just curious. Did the police dust for prints? Have you talked with a detective? In our little suburb the attitude of the police is "Oh, well. Too bad. Don't ever expect to see your stuff again and there's nothing we can do."

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

54. luckily nothing was taken from the house

from the report I got from my parents, the police weren't that bad...they dusted for prints, but only found glove prints. They didn't think the guy was a professional

[LibDemAlways]

56. Very fortunate that the place was alarmed and

that the alarm worked. They were fortunate nothing was taken. Glad no one was hurt - that's most important.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

58. yea, thank goodness no one was hurt....

and that they actually use the alarm, lol

[alittlelark]

53. It happened to me about 15 years ago.

There is a 'naked' feeling that results from it.

Odds are they were 22 or younger and just lookin' for stuff.

Generally (unless you are quite wealthy) it is random.

Change the locks, but recognize the randomness of young males bad behavior...... Hopefully they will grow out of it.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

55. the police said that some of the mansions in the area

are robbed in daylight with the family in the home! The family doesn't even realize they have been robbed till they finally get into the solarium!

[alittlelark]

57. Perhaps we should flock to their defense!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

59. what? i cant hear you...

are you in the west wing?

[alittlelark]

66. I (We) are a flock of Dodos.... yeah... extinct and all that

But with NEW SCIENCE we are currently off the endangered species list!!!!! Well, my mate is not.... She attempting to brood in ANSWR..Let's wish her lkuck!!!! I am so infected by mercury that I may not make it there to help........... but then she is smart - and she fans her feathers so .-. damn... she really fans those feathers.....



Anyway, I'm extinct, so ignore this message.

[Robeson]

60. Do you have an alarm system?

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

61. yea, its what scared off the robbers....

[qanda]

62. Someone broke into our house while we were sleeping

Luckily my sister was asleep on the couch and heard them breaking through the basement door panels. She quietly got her pepper spray out of her purse and ran over to the guy, who was halfway through the door at this time, and sprayed him while she screamed. The police never found the guy and he never came back to get the tools he dropped on his way out.

On Edit: I'm glad they weren't able to get anything and no one was hurt. It is a pretty nerve wrecking thing to have happen.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

64. thats also some scary shit

sleeping and having intruders is just :scared:
your sister is pretty gutsy though, good for her :thumbsup:

:hug: thanks qanda

[file83]

63. Maybe it was a "Sneak N' Peek" by the Feds? Perhaps?

:shrug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

65. now that is truly terrifying

:scared:

i really hope not
