Lowlife parasite thieves

[Mikkel]

I sorry to hear it mate - it is such a nasty feeling! I hope the insurance company will be good to you.

I know exactly where you're coming from - last week some scumbag stole my girlfriends backpack from her office at Chch hospital.

That wouldn't be so bad except it contained: her set of keys for house and car, her wallet, her cellphone, various bits and pieces AND her passport since we're currently in the process of applying for residency.

Needless to say, after I heard I was in the car inside 5 minutes on the phone to our neighbour - our address was on plenty of the forms. I was driving swiftly across town kinda hoping to catch the fuckers while they attempted to increase their bounty. Fortunately nothing had happened - but we've had our door locks and the immobiliser recoded.

Now we just need to wait for VISA cards and passport (2 months, yay!) - insurance will cover some of it. Cheeky insurance companies though - you get you bag stolen and you'll need to make 3 claims: 1 under contents for your stuff, 1 under car to have immobiliser and locks recoded and 1 under house to have the locks recoded. It's not on!

It's not a catastrophe - but what a hassle and then add that feeling of invaded privacy. I'd fucking fuck the fucking fuckers up if I got my hands on them.

Well, some good news. My wife just phoned to tell me that, in addition to her operation going well, she found all the spare keys. Looks like the thieves had taken them downstairs to try the locks on the basement door, and when they didn't fit, simply dumped them in a flower-bed.

Unsurprisingly she didn't see them last night in the dark, but found them this morning on her way out.

Glad to hear it - it's easy to over-estimate such low-life scum! On the other hand - they would have had to be pretty dumb to come back to the scene of crime on such short notice.

Shame you're not in Chch, I'd send the wife round with a 7mm Magnum to stay whilst you're out of town (I'd offer myself, but that doesn't seem cricket ).

Bugger, Sanx. Any help needed, let me know.

Don't bother arming the Police, arm the people and let them kill the offenders. How un PC of me. John.

Damn right!

... the fact that my wife is now scared to stay in our house especially with me being in Australia at the moment.

That is possibly the worst feeling in the world! I had it the opposite way after we were burgled, I could not leave the house, as I was told by the SOCO (Scene Of Crime Officer) they would come back while I was out!

Sorry we dont live closer mate, I would happily go and stay for a few nights to offer moral support.

My big fear is home invasion, living alone now and I have to try remember to check every room when I get home so I know no one is in the house already, put the chains on the door and leave a light on over night... Paranoid? Me? ... LOL Just causious. Must get to know the neighbours though.

We were burgled while we were asleep in bed! Not a good feeling at all I can assure you. We were lucky though, they did not come and wake us up for our PIN numbers! Thinking about it still gives me the complete shits! This house is Fort Knox like now.

Sad fucking commentary on the society we live in really.

In our extended whanau, we are up to 10 thefts of various sorts - cars mainly but cars etc as well. Anything not nailed down. and if it is they will rip it up anyway...
Surprised the police turned up - never have for us in the past, so I don't bother reporting them unless it is an insurance job, and then only to get a complaint number.
Making your house a free-fire zone is the only deterrent to these scum
