My House got BROKEN INTO!!! $%^!*#

At home all day, roomie at work. Go to eye exam at 1:30pm, get home one hour later.

Walk in the house, put down some OJ I bought, then go to my room to check the market action on my laptop. Hey, where is my laptop???

Walk into kitchen where I can see the back door splintered and kicked in. ****!

Grab pool cue from 5ft away and then make my way back to the front door to call police.

From what we know they stole two laptops. That means all of my work related stuff, private docs saved on laptop, my roommate's laptop with 1 year's worth of work. Bot computers not backed up(don't tell me, I get it).

Stole 2 of my watches, a digital camera, and other small electronics. They even took a duffle bag out of a closet(probably to stuff the goods into). And the funniest item they took? TUB of quarters!!!! They left the Xbox360 and the 35in plasma HDTV. Morons. I wouldn't even be surprised if they bolted upon hearing me pull up and begin to unlock the front door.

Cops came, called two people to come in and see if they can dust for prints. They come in, inspect, and claim they can't.

Upon inspecting a door that the 'experts' looked over, my roommate notices an OBVIOUS hand print from someone's dirty hands.

Then cops write report, leave. As soon as they leave we discover the perp's cellphone!!! Not working after trying to poke the on button with a pen so as not to taint the evidence.

Been waiting 3 hours for police to show back up.

Luckily I just rent. And to think my car was keyed in the driveway 3 weeks ago, a few months ago my cousin's F250 was broken into and stereo stolen. The landlord waited until after today's drama to let us know that their car was stolen out of the driveway. And after talking to neighbors, one of their places got broken into on Friday!!! Needless to say I am out of this place STAT.

Updates to follow...using a friend's laptop.

PISSED.


Now, we didn't have renter's ins.... So that makes those losses unrecoverable, no?

 

Still waiting on police to come back. Original call was at 2:36pm, they were here by around 3pm.

2nd call at 5pm, still waiting....


Funny, the pool cue is still in my front yard. So ridiculous.

 

On the phone they asked me, "Is the intruder still in the house?"
Me: " F!!K if I know, I was inside for thirtys seconds and am now standing in my front yard with a pool cue!!!"

We figure the phone was stolen. But who knows. As for ins, the landlord has homeowner's, but we don't have renter's.

Our suspicions are that it was the people who mow the lawn. Our landlord got in an arguement with them yesterday and threatened to not pay them for services. They cut the lawn today.

And a month ago I walked in the house and got the feeling someone had been inside. I then noticed a glass sliding door ajar by a slight amount. And if I remember correctly they had cut the grass that day as well.

Might explain the smudge handprint STILL on a door 10ft from me right now. Hmmm, I just cut some grass, maybe my hands are dirty!

They also stole a pair of my friends Nike's. Nice ones. And next to the perp's cellphone(propped on a fridge) lay unidentified sandals. Meaning they took the sandals off, balanced a hand on the fridge(leaving the cell phone there)and put on the new kicks.

Arrrgh

 

I know! I was supposed to drive to Ft. Worth tomorrow and was looking to see what you crazy bastards were up to!

Now I get to find a new place to live. But depending on how things pan out, I will hopefully make the drive sometime soon(maybe 3-5 days at most). Keeping fingers crossed.

 

The police came back, same officer.

I have to give her credit because she was extremely methodical, honest about the situation, and very pleasant.

They couldn't send out crimelab again because of a shooting they were investigating. So we took the phone, cracked open the back, placed simm card in another phone, and looked to see when the last messages were.

Sept 2005! DOH!

No trace of the lawn company's number. Stolen phone, clearly.

And just when I thought I was going to get a reality TV show being a crack detective...

Maybe tomorrow I will see if I can take a pic of the handprint. But it may not come out well because I have to use my phone to take the pic. No digital camera!

 

Doubtful, he is a public school teacher of 6-8th grade students. And I have known my roomate since freshman year in college and we all know each other's friends. Roomate is a clean cut guy who doens't associate with anyone who would associate themselves with shady folks.

With the rebuilding in New Orleans there are A LOT of contractor groups and workers that get the chance to scope things out.
