Got robbed today

Sorry this happened, that sort of thing is on the increase in our city, seems if you tell a story on what was stolen from you, the person you are telling has a story of what happened to them.

Sad really, On another forum a gal was complaining her BF was getting to much jail time for break and enters (theft), I commented he was going where he deserved to be and I got flamed for being to harsh. I lose about $3000 a year to thieves in my business

I live in a rough part of a Midwestern city. I maintain some anonymity on here, don’t say exactly where I live.

So sorry about that! I’ve been robbed before. It’s terrible that you have to live in that kind of place. Nice user name btw.

I’m sorry for you. Living in that neighborhood, you should consider renter’s insurance, it doesn’t have to be expensive. When I was hospitalized last month my place was robbed and my renter’s insurance, which is required by my apartment complex, cut me a check to cover most of my stuff after the deductible…I had to get some second-hand replacements, but it was worth the $138 I pay every 6 months. I’m glad you weren’t home when it happened and that your babies are okay.

You’ve got to be kidding me! Like you need anymore stress right now. Good lord! I’m so sorry honey.

Yeah, they did it while I was at the dr’s office because of how overwhelmed I am with stress and anxiety. Or maybe it happened while I was getting the script for Buspar filled.

Makes me appreciate my neighborhood. It’s low income, a lot of immigrants, but pretty safe. A stabbing is worst in four years i been here. The county is wealthy and low crime so it trickles into everywhere.

Unbelievable! Is there anyway you’ll sleep tonight? Can you go to a friends or something for the night?

Can’t go anywhere, the lock is busted. I can’t even walk my dog tonight. I have another lock that works, but it’s not keyed, can only be locked/unlocked from the inside. Maintenance is coming at 8 am to replace the busted lock. I’d be paranoid as hell if I wasn’t here, anyway, worried that someone was going to come in here again if they could tell there was no one home.

I know this is awful,

But you are handling it very well.

With work and increased symptoms, you’ve had a hell week.

If it were me,

I’d be in the hospital still handcuffed with the cops.

Not a joke.

Be mad because you got robbed,

But definitely be proud of the way you are coping.

Speaking of police, they still have not shown up. I suppose this is not a priority. It’s been two and a half hours since I called for them. I don’t think they’re coming.

Oh, it takes a minute if you live in the hood.

Don’t worry, they aren’t going to do anything other than get fingerprint dust smudges everywhere.

I know, it’s just frustrating.

I agree, I’m really impressed at yourself control right now.

Well, police finally came and left. They just took down details of what was stolen, and said they would file a report. About what I expected, and I’m sure nothing will come of it.

Yeah,

I wouldn’t expect a lot of justice.

Do you have someone to watch your house while you go get a deadbolt or something?

No, I don’t have anyone around here who could do that. There’s more than just the lock that needs fixed, anyway. The frame around the door is messed up, too.

Damn.

I’m sorry.

You aren’t working tomorrow, right?

Maybe you can get someone to come down and house sit for a minute while you get some stuff.

Shouldn’t the complex pay for the broken frame?

That’s what you paid a deposit for…

Yeah, maintenance is coming at 8 am to fix things. And you’re right, I’m not working tomorrow.
