OMG - we've been robbed!

[catnapper]

Funny thing is the locks ARE new.

My BIL is a construction contractor. He's going to come out today to give us an estimate on completely replacing the back doors and adding a security bolt to the basement doors.

I am actually starting to be fairly hopeful of getting my camera back. I actually had the serial number... and they have a camera without the proper USB cord and no battery charger. This camea does not use a typical battery and if you plan on using it, plan on buying a $100 battery and charger. So..... hoepfully they'll find out what a waste my camera is and pawn it to get some money. Please get the PT prayers going to make sure my camera comes back to me!

As for the son.... well, we' really are stuck here. I talked to the neighbors that moved out, and they are shocked. They NEVER locked their doors and nothing ever happened. The first thing they said was that their landlord's son did it. The landlord moved back in and we get robbed. The last time we were robbed was when the landlord lived there... we haven't been roibbed since he moved out for 5 years and the best old neighbor moved in. Everything does point to the landlord's middle kid. The size of the footprint, the fact that they knew Nicki enough to not be afraid, the fact that the neighbor was out of town (the boys don't live with thier father). Anyway, the cops will be handling that one. We don't have a good relationship with the landlord neighbor as it is. You can feel the tension in the air when all of us are outside. You see, the landlord neighbor's son was in hubby's class 2 years ago and he tried to sue the school district for discrimination when his "bright" son was failing. Hubby told him point blank that no discrimination was going on, except that his son was discrimating against work. The boy is lazy and relies on daddy to shame teachers into giving him better grades, and get him out of messes. Because landlord neighbor KNOWS hubby is not a racist, he had to drop the lawsuit because it would get thrown out of court if they heard how we were neighbors and shared a lot of stuff up til then. Anyway, its not a good history with the boy and daddy and us.

My dads car was broken into last year. The cops told him to wait 1 week until he started to search for his car battery charger. After 1 week, dad went to the 2 pawn shops & reported his missing item. a week after that the pawn shop called dad & said can you describe your item.. Dad said it was in its box with a butt load of tape on the bottom of the box.. They said yep we just got it in! So dad called the cop back & the officer went intot he shop with dad & verivied the info that dad gave on the description with what was in the pawn shop to be dads. Dad got it back & he also foundout who did it.. it was A-holes brother upstairs! So dad now knows who also has been breaking into the lockes in the parking garage.. He knew it had to have something to do with the A-hole upstairs.

Best part..

The A-holes car broke down when dad was outside one day (dad is mr. fix it for the condo building & he cares for many of the older ladies & does emergency work for them in the middle of the night). Dad said too bad someone thought it was funny to steal my car battery charger eh! hehe

So keep a close eye on those pawn shops

I am so glad to read that you have found some of the items that you thought were taken! That is great! But the poor sock basket.... where will the kitties sleep now??? I bet THAT was the only place for them, huh???!!!?

I hope you are able to call/visit the local pawn shops! The robbers sound so stupid, I bet they head right to the pawn shops! Hope the police will continue to pursue the neighbor's son possibility. Sounds logical to me that they should!

I'm so sorry your home was violated like that Kim, but I'm so happy that you found two of your rings and I hope your camera turns up soon as well!

*HUGS*

Kim, I'm glad you got a few of your rings back, and I hope you'll find your camera - I'll keep my fingers crossed!

As for your landlords' son: It sounds very likely that he was the one who did it, unfortunately you have no proof. I just hope the cops will watch him closely after you gave them the hint...

How are you doing meanwhile? And how are the kitties coping with the fact that their home has been violated by a stranger? Would be nice if they could talk and tell you who it was. God, I'm so happy that the robber did not do any harm to them!!

I will pray that you find your things back!!
