Ok I have been keeping this to myself, but I need to vent, BADLY!

Last Tuesday my house got done over and they stole all of my bloody toys. Its amazing the expensize hand size stuff you seem to gather of the years, from Ipods, to fishing gear, you name it they stole it. I keep finding stuff missing and it makes me cry, so many hard earned dollars gone beacuse of some junky scumbags my neighbours saw (And didnt ring the cops). I have read similar posts on here and felt every tear and stressfull thought that was ever shared, now its my turn.

I was kind of lucky but boy did they do a quick sweep, even took my Meguairs car cleaning products and a couple of reels that were bloody brand new, some still in boxes. I feel sick to my stomach, my business takes all my attention... So much so that our home and contents insurance had slipped and yes you guessed it we were not insured at the time. So many man hours of hard earned cash taken away from you in a couple of minutes (Cops didnt even dust for fingerprints).

The list just seems to be growing by the day, suprised they didnt steal my kayaks too. Just when I think I am getting past this something else comes into frame, I often lose stuff in my house and spend days looking for it but I knew were everything was this time and its f***ing gone. Anyway, this is being posted on some Canberra sites in hope that somebody (Even years down the track) will bump into something for sale. Decided I needed to share it with my close mates here too, my girlfriend is so upset its killing my relationship. I am so angry, its affecting my work... I feel so lost.

Be my warmth...
 
Breathe, they are just possessions. Try to revel in what you have, the things that are important that you DIDN'T buy. Like your girlfriend. Return to what it was like not having money at all, live life in the small things. You can do it.
 
Oooh No! I feel for ya mate! It does take the wind of of your sails for sure. Yes, it's happened to me & even though I was insured it doesn't take away that really bad feeling. (and I've been through 3 separations spliting asset as well - same feeling!)

But, your girlfriend, life and business are much more important and I know it's frustrating but there's nothing you can do about what has happened; it's now in the past so do your best to rise above it.
 
As someone said on another Forum when a guys Forester was ransacked and his stereo gear removed - keep an eye out on eBay for these items in your area or surrounds, you just never know what might turn up.
 
Paffoh,

I know how pissed you must feel. I always hesitate to respond in situations like this, 'cause it can seem trite, but reading others posts I can only but agree with them, and know you will take them in the spirit they are meant.

Above all, dont let this sh*t come between you and your girlfriend. Life is too bloody short and, believe me, you never know what is just around the corner. Unfortunately none of us know how long we have.

It certainly is anger making though, especially when stuff can have so many memories, or be the sort of good 'old stuff' that isn't made any more. Especially the case with blokes toys.

Neighbours sound like prize 'tools' as well. This sort of thing just wouldn't occur if people still looked out for each other. Unfortunately most just don't apply the 'golden rule' these days.

Even as a newcomer to this site I feel priveleged to be part of a 'virtual shed' of (presumably predominantly) blokes who share common values and give a damn.

I don't know what to say, apart from I feel you're anger & sadness. (I've been there myself, twice)

I hope you catch the :censored: :censored: scum bags & hang them by their balls.:mob:

I'm just glad that you & your girlfriend are safe & weren't hurt.

Regards
Mr Turbo
 
Sorry to hear your pain! Even though they are "only possesions", you have worked very hard for them - this is usually the hardest part to deal with as most items can eventually be replaced.

I agree with Barry, keep an eye out for items on ebay - also the tradingpost/classifieds in the paper would be a good idea too. The other thing I agree with is the neighbours! What where they thinking???

That said, my uncle had a 6 tonne bulldozer lifted from his property! They went through his shed and took a pile of tools, new mower etc. It was the bulldozer that hurt most though - not only the money that was spent on it but he did it up with his late son. It was a CASE 310 - nice small unit. I reckon it went interstate, but he reckons its still within a 50km radius of his farm...

That's a little different to your situation but either way or either situation, its just as personally destructive. I hope the *******s get whats coming to them.

Chin up.

I can only really reflect what everyone else has said, sucks and I'm really sorry to hear this has happened.:sad:

I hope that you can recover at least some of your stuff, but at least you and your girlfriend are safe, and try not to let it come between you two. Your relationship is worth way more than anything that was stolen.
 
I'm really sorry to hear that...I hope that they get whats coming to them. I cant underdstand why the cops couldnt be bothered to dust for prints...Surely they would have ashortlist of suspects that they could round up and cross reference.
 
oh man that really sucks. i feel really bad for you mate. don't let a bad thing create more bad things in your life. you and your girl still have each other, don't let anger consume your relationship. these theiving arseholes have screwed you once, don't let them screw you again
