Burglars arent too bright...

Came home today to find out that our house had been broken into. They had taken 4-5 DVD box sets and a watch I inherited from my dad. But I guess they werent too much into cameras:

Sorry to hear about the burglary - that sucks (I know - ive been in that situation a few years back).

Probably find that the burglars thought it was a film camera or they were disturbed and made off quickly.

Sorry to see that you were robbed but the fact that multiple thousands worth of camera gear was left untouched was quite comical to say the least. Must have been some pretty good movies haha.

They ran off with my Godfather DVD box set... If they hadn't taken the wife's Sex & The City box as well, I could at least have said they had a nice taste in movies. The TV and home cinema setup (Denon - not cheap) weren't even touched, neither was any of our laptops.

wow. that's SUPER close! goodness.

But now they now what you have. I would make sure your policy covers your camera.

That's horrible. Not to mention the box set of S&TC is expensive, but not compared to your gear lol

That sucks. Do you have insurance? This makes me want to get insurance now. And lmao @ taking DVDs rather than expensive electronics.

Edit: STOP FOLLOWING ME AMANDA! ;x

Ha maybe it was a Christmas gift for their wife/gf. Society never ceases to amaze.

They're probably after a quick no-risk win. Electronic equipment can be hard to sell off as they have annoying serial numbers that can possibly be traced.

DVDs etc are a quick win. Completely untraceable.

Glad that you weren't at home at the time though. A burglary and associated invasion of "home" is never a pleasant thing to come home to.

I would have ripped that nice dell monitor right off his desk

I know Princess Mary likes both those shows, better check her place out....:p

Good news on your gear being ok, terrible feeling though having your home violated though.

I would check her place but something tells me they have better security than I do...

Strangely enough, I'm not bothered by them having been in my house at all, but the wife and our 4-year old are pretty freaked out.

LOL... did they do any major damage actually getting into your place?
