Home and dry and burgled

Well, it could have been worse.

The good news - they didn't get my Grandpa's watch nor the gold brooch
model of Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis because I'd recently removed the
one and put it back in the wrong drawer under about 500 old photos
(being a forgetful old scrote has its advantages) and the other because
it was in just too odd a place in my desk.

Nor did they get The Doctor's jewellery - better hidden than we'd
feared. All the signs were they'd found it. They didn't.

The bad news - all the cameras except an Ixus overlooked on a
windowsill. All replaceable, though. Tomorrow I go out and burn ukp3500
in my credit card.

All the kids' Christening and birth silverware, and ditto that which
used to belong to The Doctor's late brother. Irreplaceable.

All my model motorcycle collection. I mean, *all* of them. Some quite
valuable (old Matchbox stuff, Dinky stuff, etc), some only worth a few
quid (cheapo die-cast ones available anywhere). This is a pisser because
I didn't think anyone would take them and I've been collecting them for
about 20 years.

OTOH, the ****(s) left all my collection of tinplate toys, some of which
are definitely valuable. Go figure.

Oh well. The skiing in the Pyrenees this year was utterly *ace*.

 

Fucking hell TOG.

I`m so sorry to hear that, we were burgled on Dec 2nd, and luckily they
didn`t get much.
With Dad being ill and Mum struggleing it was the last thing we needed.

I assume you`ve done the inventory and informed the law of anything that
might turn up at auction somewhere?

Don`t know what else to say.

Anything to help (even if it`s just keeping an eye on the local
auctions/ebay etc.) just ask.

I would say that I hope plod get the bastards, but that's hoping for a
bit of a miracle.

If anyone sees a collection of model motorcycles suddenly appearing.....

 

The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Keep an eye out for them on fleabay?

 

Bad luck old boy. I know what it's like, we had our gaff burgled before
we actually moved in - luckily nothing of value was there. Not nice just
the same.

 

That's unusually thick, even for a Geordie burglar.

These days, the only way plod catch burglars is if the stolen property is
clearly visible on the Gatso photographs!

 

The message <1g9kg3f.1blwevl1qf291mN%>
from (The Older Gentleman) contains
these words:

I don't suppose you had the foresight to mark them with one of
those ultra-violet pens?

 

Sorry, didn't make that clear did I. I meant to mention it was the last
house.

 

Nobody died, at least not yet. I hope they do if you catch up with them.
Commiserations. The loss of the irreplaceable personal stuff is a real
downer - however I have a feeling that some spanky new upgraded photographic
clobber courtesy of the insurance might go a little way to making you feel
better.

Where did you go?

Buzby

 

No.

The TV, video, etc, yes. But model motorcycles?

 

This is true to a certain extent.

But the D100 stuff will simply be replaced, not upgraded, and as for the
F90 upgrade from the F801S - it doesn't really make a difference.

 

Really Sorry to hear about the burglary.

I have only been done once - it wasn't what they took (not much as it
happens) it was the feeling that we had been invaded - it took a long time
for that feeling to wear off..

Oh for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen.

 

No.

The bit that will really hurt is that he has probably knicked them for his
kids.

People who steal tend to have a very poor sense of value. Why should they?

Well if someone stole from me, I think I'd rather they gave stuff to
their kids than sold it to finance a drug habit. I suspect the latter
is more likely though.

I've known a few people who did stuff like this; they were mostly
junkies.

 

Clear up rate on burgary is 2.8% apparantly.

 

Glad to hear it, I know you were particularly woried about the watch.

So, strange scrotes, didn't go to the ******* draw then ?

Utter utter cnuts !

Uber Cunts !

But they had the sense to leave the Duke !
(actually your neighbour said they tried to take it but only got to the
bottom of the road.....)

Ho yuss .... even my bady bruised leg/ ripped muscle thinks so
