Guest buckifan21 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 tonight i went out to my buddies house to hang out with him for his birthday. when i got home around 12:45, i came inside and went to my room. i noticed that my bow case was knocked over, my fishing stuff was on my bed, and all my papers were thrown around. after a brief moment, i realized that someone had been in there. nervously, i checked all my roomies' rooms and saw that their rooms were in poor shape as well. after calling the police i went back to my room and saw that my gun was gone well the police lady checked out the house, got reports etc etc. she said that the chances of catching these jerks are slim. my biggest worry was "what if someone shoots another person with my gun?" i would feel sooooooo horrible, and i wasnt sure if i would get in trouble. she told me that since it was reported stolen that i wont have to worry about getting in trouble. but man, i am sooo mad that someone has invaded my private space. the $ value of the gun can be overlooked, the sentimental value and feeling of insecurity cant. other things that turned up missing were 2 laptops, and a digital camera. man, what jerk would do this to another human being? sorry to ramble, i guess i just had to vent. thanks for listening Orrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popgun Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight Sorry to hear you were a victim. I just woke up in the wee hours of this morning and had to wait awhile for my pain medication to take effect before trying to get back to sleep when I read your post. I will say you seem to be taking it well. I had the tailgate stolen off my pickup about two years ago and I was so angry, frustrated, and nervous at the time, I wasn't able to hardly talk about it. I know how violated you feel. There is a feeling of security and trust that you loose when you are victimized that you will never get over completely. If the cops have the serial number on your gun, you may get it back, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I hate thieves. ....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight I also was a victim of a burglary more than once. My wife was robbed in broad daylight before. I was laying on a couch when some crimanals came into the house before also... So we know the feeling of being violated actually outweighs the loss of goods. Hang in there pal. PM me if you want to talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight [ QUOTE ] other things that turned up missing were 2 laptops, and a digital camera. man, what jerk would do this to another human being? [/ QUOTE ] If the police have not already done so, check the local pawn shops and swap sheets, newspaper ads. Believe me, these scumbags would rather sell your laptops and cameras to enable them to buy a bag of dope, then to use it to look up stuff on the internet.

AJ Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight Sorry to hear the bad news. I too know how you feel, as I had the same thing happen back in 1996. I had 14 guns stolen from me. Unfortunately, I can't say they will catch the idiot that did this to you. I still have not heard anything about my guns, and its been 9 years. Remember it's not your fault if some scumbag hurts someone else with your gun. You did nothing wrong. Your gun did nothing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest buckifan21 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight thanks for the positive replies everyone. they help tremendously. i live in the campus area of Ohio State. unfortunately, the police see this every day so i dont have much hope in recovering the stolen goods. I am just going to try to put it out of my mind the best i can and work on making the place feel like "home" again. Thanks again everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight Makes you feel like you just got raped doesn't it. My heart goes out to you. Something to think about, but I don't want to scare you, is that many times, after robbing a place like that, the scumbags will wait a few months, untill the insurance company has paid up and items have been replaced and then hit you again. Just something you might want to keep in mind, and beef up your security a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight Man,,, thats awful. Lots of bad people out there for sure... I hope they find your stuff, but doubt they will also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight Wow, that is really horrible! I hope your things get found! Thankfully it was just material things taken and not your life. I'm glad you weren't there; are you in an apartment or college dorm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJJ Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight sorry to here that. if it was up to me when the police got the people that did that i would want them to hang. that is one thing that i will not stand for (a thief). it is really sad that some people don't have enough respect for someone else's things. good luck to you on getting your stuff back.

Hoosierbuck Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight Call all the pawn shopw within 100 miles. Give them a desription and your serial number. Offer them a reward if the guy is caught and you get your gun back. The drug dealers don't want stuff, they want cash. The mope will pawn it somewhere. The other guys in law enforcement will tell you the same thing...it's all about the $$$. HB P.S. You were actually burglarized, not robbed. Just a technical nit-pick. Still sucks, and I feel for you...been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buckifan21 Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight lol, hoosier, i will remember that next time turkeygirl, i live in a house with 4 other roommates who are pretty respectful of others property slughunter - no, i was really worried that they would take my bow. it is worth more than my gun was (about $200 more) they opened the case, but didnt take it, i guess it wouldnt have much street value. there probably arent too many gangs that would want a bow in a gang fight. haha. they also opened all my tackleboxes (probably lookin for drugs) but didnt take any lures i was very nervous coming home tonight. but now i am tryin to be optimistic and just be thankful to the good Lord that it wasnt worse than it was thanks again for the support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Re: Got Robbed tonight thanking the lord is the right thing to do. no one hurt, injured, or killed. the stolen "stuff" is only stuff. everyone is well. that said, find your stuff and prosicute the thief! sorry for your troubles, man.
