Hubby's car broken into

Off Topic

  • Sadly, Lou my nice husband, woke up to a car that had been ransacked, stuff taken and sigh* they took our
    Garage door opener. So, I was late to work today, getting the automatic door opener disabled and making sure you couldn?t open the garage by hand.
    Sigh.
    Course, once the garage door is open, they have total access to the house. Thank Heavens Lou noticed it was gone.
    I do have good neighbors, and we told them about it, but still, we all have lives?.we can?t expect them to stand guard.

    Darn it, I am so darn mad! Lou is such a nice guy and to have this happen to him really sucks.
    I do believe in Karma, so it will come back to bite them?
    Creeps!


  • I'm really sorry to hear this Sharon. You just really feel like "how could somebody do this"! What goes around comes around. The good news is you and your husband are safe and unhurt. Even when criminals are not physically caught by the police does not mean they got away with it. You see they put themselves in jail in their own head and that's the worst jail you could be in. That's why they get worse off, have drug and alcohol problems or eventually go to jail for something else.


  • Thank Dan..yes, it could have been so much worse. We were home, they could have opened the garage…I like to think we would have woke up, but who knows?
    So, really, except for the "stuff" Lou lost and the feeling of violation, we are ok.
    Just sure does make you mad!
    Thanks so much for this post.


  • yes, karma exists. may take a while, but it will come back to that "person".

    so sorry, it's a downer


  • So sorry to hear that Sharron… that really "sucks"...... Hug to everyone and glad that the only thing that was "hurt" was the car!


  • My husband, who is close to 60, came in with a look a little boy would have on his face, when his toy was broken.
    This is a new car…they smoked in it!!!! Yuck! and they took his "stuff"...
    Major man violation.
    Makes me mad for him.
    BUT I will spay it with doggie stain removed and make it all better.
    Thanks for the kind words.

    Sharron, I am so sorry to hear of y'all's car being broken into..it is a very violating feeling for sure..I know.
    Karma is good that way,they will get what they deserve…I honestly believe that.


  • Thanks Petra…at least we are safe and the b's are safe.
    Really, in the long run, that is all that matters.


  • @sharronhurlbut:

    My husband, who is close to 60, came in with a look a little boy would have on his face, when his toy was broken.

    oh that's heartbreaking. that look. i know you hate it for him.


  • Oh my friend, what a horrible, horrible thing to have happen. Thankfully you are all safe. Lou was doing some quick thinking when noticing the garage remote was missing. Do whatever you can to report this to the police. Maybe someone else in your area suffered the same fate, and then they will patrol your area and possibly catch the person? These people should feel what it feels like to be violated. But I suspect people like this don't feel any feelings very deeply, remorse they probably never feel.

    Yes, I too believe in "what comes around goes around". Whoever did this is running head first into fate, and not a nice one I may add.

    My biggest hugs to you and Lou.


  • Sharron, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Happy that no one was hurt, but it is horrible to know some unknown stranger was in your car.

    I can definitely relate to feeling of violation from it - my cars have been broken into many times (too many to count actually) - usually with windows broken and stereo stolen. My last one happened one block from the Police Station - you could see my condo from where the officer took my report :rolleyes:.

    Yes, karma will get them in the end - and whoever mentioned remorse - I doubt they feel any. My experience is that it is usually kids, and here in Portland it is kids looking for stuff to fence for drug money.


  • So sorry to hear about Lou's car and your garage Sharon but very glad no one was hurt.
    I hope the thieves/vandals get their comeuppance


  • Sharron, I'm so sorry for you both - it must be a terrible feeling of violation. I'm sure that such people get their come-uppance in the end and I've had personal experience of that. Like you I believe in Karma.


  • I'm sorry to hear about this Sharron. I'm sure it makes you feel like your personal space was violated. Ugh. I'm glad no one was hurt and I hope the battery dies on the garage door opener…


  • Hehehe, thanks you guys. I am much better today, altho Lou is still bothered.
    Yesterday, a neighbor 2 doors down had the same thing happen to her.
    I told her we filed a police report and she said she would as well.
    I know its low on the cops list, as they are so busy with other matters, but maybe we
    will get someone driving through a bit more often.
    Hugs to you all.

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:

    @AJs: It's been a very long time since I read The Wizard of Oz. Is Wichita where the story starts? I googled "Dorothy's House Wichita" and nothing came up except ways to get to Liberal. That's where the house is that is advertised all over Kansas as THE Dorothy's House. From what I understand (and I have been wrong before…it could happen again) the house in Liberal is where they did some of the filming. But I love the Witch-ita reference...:D I think Dorthy's house was just considered to be a farm house "out in the middle of nowhere".

    @Maya: If you're living in Holland, you need a Friesian!!! :D I have the most wonderful friesian, her temperment is amazing. She's not even 3 yet but she is just so sweet and gentle!! But, do keep us updated. I've had horses since i was 3 and they are a huge part of my life. I couldnt be without them even though im not as involved in the horse world as i once was!! P.S. I have some photos from a show over here in the UK with shires in their traditional plaits and tack if anyone is interested in seeing them. Its just amazing!! Yes!! I love to see the pictures!!! I like the Friesian horses but it's not a breed wich can used for lots of things, they are to special i think :D I like the Friesian for shows and as a barouche horse (is it a good word?) I once ride a Friesian and it's different with riding a normal or western horse. They make larger steps and it's very comfortable riding! A friend of us breeds the Friesian :D @moetmum: That sounds exciting, hope it all goes to plan. Our neighbouring farmer used to breed shire horses, they don't breed now but still have loads of horses. They go to loads of shows, they were sponsored by a local brewery. The horses are fascinated by the basenjis, and always want to come and have a look! the b's aren't keen when they snort at them though. I have never heard of a horse milking farm before!! Wow!!! If it was a little bit near Holland, I really would come over to met you and take a look at the shires next door :D:D We're don't going to live in Holland :D In Germany they have also some very nice breeds Hannoveraan, holsteiner (i don't know the english names…0
