Yah, I know kona. That's what scares me. We're keeping all the windows down and locked and keeping lights on at night.
I just hate that they may have taken what they came for, and seen things like guitars, recording gear, two computers in my room, other electronic stuff, at least 300 cds of mine, a guitar amp, etc.
My girlfriend said I should bobby trap the place like in Home Alone.

My girlfriend said I should booby trap the place like in Home Alone...
..or - after we were broken into once, we were so worried that they'd come back, we put a sign on the apartment door that said...
"Warning! Owner keeps live snakes on the premises. Enter at your own risk!"
They never came back.

We caught a guy robbing our office. 3 of us came back from a meeting and he was under one of the desks unhooking a tablet PC. He said he saw a big bearded guy running out with it and that he was just hooking it back up for us. I said thanks - you'll be able to give a description to the police when they get here, while another guy locked the door so he couldn't run out. He was like no problem call 'em. When they came one of them was his probation officer, they took him away with him whining I'm a witness... It was quite the day.

i was jacked by some pussy at school once.
i left my ipod at the computer i was working on to go get high with some friends, and somebody rolled up, unplugged the earbuds from my ipod and took them.
didn't have the balls to take the ipod, even.
i was thinking, "fuck, take 'em. you obviously need them more than i do"

when i was living in long beach i left my apartment to see this girl for lunch and forgot to lock the deadbolt behind me. when i came back my ps2 and all my games were gone. they also took my girlfriend's "buns of steel" tape, which leads me to believe the poor robbers were terribly insecure about themselves.

I think the worst thing that happened was when my lock got stolen. Seriously.

about 3yrs ago i had my old apple quadra630 and monitor robbed from the boot of my car. I was transporting it to my mums the next day. anyway it was nicked... just about to fill in the insurance thinking i was gonna get a tasty new laptop or something and then the bloody police call up saying it had been found behind a hedge in a field not far from my house. BUGGER. the kids must have realised it was a shit old computer... still gave it my mum like... she uses it to email to this day...

that's bites!!
I've had 4 attempted muggings. I say attempted, because I've lost a grand total of nothing. but then I get mugged by morons.
#1. 2 guys stop me and a mate in the street. one pins my mate against the wall and takes his cash. the other asks if he can have some of my chips. i tell him to buy his own damn chips, and he leave's it at that.
#2. guy at a busy tramstop (with plenty of people around - who didn't do a fucking thing except watch). demanding 40c. Obviously just wanting me to get my wallet out because he went mental when I told him I didn't have 40c. Got a flykick to the face (which strangely didn't hurt at all) before he pissed off. 5 minutes later his mate comes back and asks again!!
#3. me and 2 mates got followed down an alley way by a gang of 7. knives pulled on us. mates got cleaned out. I get asked to hand over my watch. I told them it was fake and they wouldn't want it. wasted enough time debating whether it was real or not that they had run before they could get anything off me
#4. snatch and grab at an ATM. managed to shove the money back up the slot so he couldn't grab the cash, pushed him away and pulled it back out. He then apologises and asks me if I can lend him some money. I told him where to go and walked off. Started to follow me and harrass me, so I just started walking to the cop station inside the train station (where we were). rather than bolting out of there, HE RACES ME TO THE COP SHOP, and bursts in just before me ranting about me stealing his mobile phone. Obviously he forgot that there were a few dozen witnesses! So he spent the night there and I went on my merry way.
guess I'm just lucky ;)

Hell Yeah! I'm from mexico! and considered myself or my family lucky if we were not robbed in 3 months. It is so common there that it becomes a routine.
I remember once my dad was gonna go to work and so he got into his car and the car suddenly fell towards the right side. He got out and saw bricks instead of his 2 right side tires. it was kinda funny.
thieves down in mexico are so desperate that are willing to do anything to steal something. they even stole once our underwear among other stuff.
And they even made a hole on my bedroom's wall as their way in.

Man JazX, held up at gunpoint? I don't even want to think.
Stayed at my girlfriend's the last two nights, was going to stay at home last night but we watched the movie Hostage and I was just like "no way we're staying here tonight!"
I thought of a really nasty security device last night.
Get some superglue and some of the dozens of X-Acto knive blades I have, and glue them blade size up outside the window. That way if someone tries to peek up into the window, they will slice their hands all to hell.
Pretty vicious, but hey, you've got to protect your stuff.

I was held up at gunpoint too! Well sort of.
Funny story, I was working at a gas station with another guy.
Anyway the other guy was in the stock room while I was on the register. The guy came in with a mask, and was like "Give me all your fucking money", his gun was hanging in his pants, so I am guessing it was fake or at best a pellet gun. So I pressed the alarm button, under the table and took my time. The dude was getting pissed. "give me your fucking money" easy buddy easy. So he took off with maybe $400.
Anyway, I found my coworker in the fetal position in the stock room. He was white as a ghost. I was like hmm yeah, who was it that was getting shouted at and threatened???
Anyway I spread a roomer around town that he (my coworker) physically shit his pants he was so scared. Aghh he never lived that one down. People where talking about the shit kid for months. hahaha
Oh and about 30 minutes after the robber left the police showed up. Good job guys. They never found the guy. The figured he took off on snowmobile through the bust.

"took off on a snowmobile."
awesome. It's rare that my day's been made by only 9:05am.
