Burglery

[Oli]

Only recently has such a crime realy hit it me in the face and told me what it is. Yeah i knew what burglery was but i would have never imagined it to happen to my house or reletives house's etc....

My cousin's house got burglerd last night, my cousin returned to the house around 9 in the evening and found that his house had been trashed. I got a very alarmed phone call from him to tell my dad. Hence my dad's goes over there .... and the storys goes on.

But what realy hit me is that they took some very valuable posetions of there's, Silver, inherrited jewlery, the list goes on. Now who the fuck has that kind of heart to go steal other people's stuff. Around 500 house's probably got burgled last nighit, that means that there is at least 500+ fuck hearted twats around in England.

So has anyone else had a bad expirience of such a horrible crime?

The world is a shitty place Oli.

Also, dont assign each crime to one burglar. burgler. burger?.......

Most burglars attack more than one house. A whole neigborhood can have thefts and it might only be one guy.


In fact, here in florida some theiving fuck who knew gymnastics starting breaking into buildings thru the roof. The cameras caught him leaping about like Spiderman. Which is why he came to be called the "Spiderman Theif" True Story, btw.


But as I said. The world is a shitty place. Dont let people ever tell you you're paranoid.

It's not the fact that im paraniod, cos' im not, and i know one person will probably attack say 10 house's a night, but what im trying to say is that there are so many twats out there that would do it. But your so right, the world is a shitty palce.

There are many people like them who will just steal because they can - because they know how.

When I was small - around 6 - a man knocked on our door and asked if "Linda" lived here. She didn't and we didn't even know anyone called Linda. So I told him. He just shrugged and said "must be the wrong house" and then wandered off. I heard him as I closed the door, that he was knocking next door.

Next thing I know is that he was just knokcing to see if anyone was in and when noone answered next door he broke in and trashed the place stealing anything valuable - videos, tv's, jewelry, etc.

It made me think about the world in a different way to my usual one of chilish innocence and good. So your not alone...........

If you go round the chav area of our town in a Ramones/CbGb's/N*rvana top, be prepared to have stuff thrown at you.
If your Asian or white and live in the town centre, the other creed will be your enemy, that's what I really hate about stuff like this, all my mates who live round there are racists. :(

When i was about 4 there was someone who had a lock pick and was trying to break into our house whilst we were all asleep. But luckily we had a dog, she went to the door, started barking and jumping up to the door. This scared the robber of and alerted us.If it wasnt for our dog (who is now 17) we would have been broken into.
Stupid heartless idiotic robbers.

What really gets me is that there are people who break in on christmas eve specifically to steal presents under the tree! That is just so heartless and inconsiderate :(

I'm not trying to stick up for thieves and suchlike, but have any of you considered why they might have to steal from people who are better off?

I'd say 90% they're just doing it cos' they want it. only 10% are for people that realy need it, but even so, You should'nt steal.

Bit of a scary story, about 3 years ago my mum was coming home from school, on her bike, she cycled up the road and saw a shadown walking towards the house, which she assumed was me coming home from school. So anyways she goes to unlock the door and hears this almighty great crash, thinks "damn cats again" and opens the dorr to see in the kitchen three guys jumping out the window! (Theyd snuck round the bak of the house to break in, at the EXACT moment they got in my mum opened the dorr and they freaked.

So She ran out the front door, they ran round the side and met in the fron garden, they all pelted it off down the road and my mum being confused/angry chased after them.. when one of them, a big guy, stopped turned round and started walking towards her. Now bear in mind my mum is not big, she is 5ft2 this guy was well over 6ft and well built, my mum froze and was rooted to the spot, this guy quite calmly walks right past her, gets in their getaway car and speeds off!

She didnt move for the next 3 minutes she was so petrified.

And i was walking down my road i happened to see a car speed out round the corner doing 30 - 40 and shoot off down the lane, didnt think much of it till i heard the above story.


I agree with you the though, the world is a shit shit place.

the world really is a shite place

The 10% (or whatever) that "need" to steal could cope perfectly well by going to organizations. The Salvation Army, YMCA, loads could help them. They could get goverment benefits. There is no need for anyone to steal.

In some cases, it's also to fuel a drug habit, but stealing is never the right answer.

So there...

I actually have a good bugelery story...

My nan owns a dog. Said dog is the biggest, stupidest dog in the world. When she got broken into, the burgelers gave said dog a ball of string, whilst they robbed the place (but they got caught off the DNA evidence. How thick do you get. You go round, being carefull not to leave fingerprints, and the like, and then have a drink out of a bottle in the fridge, and leave it on the stairs...) But thats beside the point.

The robbery happened when my nan went on one of her shopping walks. She took the dog with her. Now my nan cleaned up a dog... mess. (Well keep it clean shall we) Mess goes into a carrier bag, and nan walks on. She gets to the shop, and leaves the doggy tied to the railings, with the bag of mess. Goes into the shops, to emerge and see some youth running away with the carrier bag. :D

He must have loved his haul that day!!!

I'm not trying to sound harsh, but would someone who needed to steal from someone trash up anothers home? Thats just plain wrong no matter what the excuse.

I haven't really experienced robbery, my familys car has had its windows smashed twice whilst my dad's been at work (in a hospital I might add), but nothing was taken each time (the radio was too hard to remove) but when you think about it, thats a really crap thing to do, they probably didn't know my dad worked there and it could well have been someone in hospital who they were stealing from, yet they do it anyway, people sometimes confuse me...

Greed.
The main reason why people steal.
Nothing wrong with greed really it's practically in our genes....

Stealing in the sense of the above stories is wrong, but as you say no-one expects it to happen to them.
Just faceless victims who occasionally you hear about.
Sometimes the victims can be you.

I was trying to get a point across but I lost it :/
Stealing is bad in all but few cases, and my sympathy goes out to those who have possesions stolen. (although life isn't all about materialistic possesions.)
