  • Laptop theives should be drawn and quartered and dimed

    I'm so pissed. I finally got things up and running, but there are so many things I can't replace.

    Someone busted into my room yesterday morning when I was out. They stole my laptop and my cellphone, all my games, everything electronic.

    Thankfully they left my hearing aids which were the most valuable things there.

    Everything else they trashed. I just moved out and finally got everything set up again, but I still have to sort out that room and figure out what is still usable and what is destroyed. My whole life was pretty much in there, all my pictures.

    I just don't understand, all for the want of these things, they would destroy someone's life over it. I wish I could string up the thieves right now.

    If Texas had permitted guns, this wouldn't have happened. Who's going to rob a house if there's potential for the owner to be wielding a gun?

      Exactly, Asher. Make sure the body falls inside the door.

        Backups?
        It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

          This requires what is known as foresight which requires what is known as intelligence.

            Well sure you have backups. You may have a shotgun with a pistol kept handy, or vise versa.

              Sorry to hear about it, Ben. That sucks.

                Personally, I'm a fan of assault rifles. No ***** pistols for me.

                  I have a harddrive that I have everything backed up to about 6 months ago.

                  They found that too. I had it stashed away. They took my backup router as well.

                  It's bad losing stuff from 6 months, but losing that backup harddrive is the worst.

                      That's wretched, Ben. I hope the cops find him.

                        It's unlikely they will unless they use the cellphone.

                        I'm going to be checking the pawnshops and see if my old laptop shows up.

                          They dug through for a harddrive? That is hardcore. Especially since used harddrives go for what? 30$ or less?

                          Most thieves just grab what is lying about (and many don't know the prices of computer electronics and so don't take them).

                            Yep. I had all my clothes and they went through each and every bag, scattered it around, and tore some of it up.

                            They went through absolutely everything.

                            I'm really not happy being up here in Canada right now. I've been broken into once already, in just April and now this. Twice in 4 months. Different places too.

                              Ben, you must live a very sinful life since god punishes you so hard
                              With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
