VIOLATED!!!!!!

[earthmother]

It's after 2 a.m. and the Police have gone now - - - - - we've been burgled!
The Police were on the tail of the 'perps' (that's a cop term :? )

I felt the draft and went to the back door to see our video camera out in the rain!!!! I thought "Moths lost it, he's left the camera out in the rain" Then I saw (Me Monk) that the camera had only a few spots of rain on it. So I woke and asked him and he got up. I saw a light out the front of the house and went and opened the door - It was a copper.

They DIDN'T take the snakes or Lizards.!!!!!!!
They had come in our backdoor, strangely, leaving no footprints although it's pouring rain. They went to our garage, to the kitchen and took wallets, my handbag,(money, jewellery) Shad's school bag (which usually has his DVD player in it - but he'd taken it to his room).
They dumped most of it ut the front of our house under the streetlight.
In the morning the fingerprint people are coming. I hope they catch the sods.
We have never ever been robbed before.
Moth said he was relieved that I didn't disturb them, lol. I break too easy!
Well, off to sleep now with doors locked and bolted and a feeling of violation and disappointment.

Em

Don't worry about us, we are all okay.

 

[Greebo]

That's a royal pain!
Don't hold your breath about the police finding the buggers by the fingerprints. One the plus side, at least none of your animals were taken.

Atleast none of you were harmed, thats a good thing, and they dint take the herps, Yah! If theres anything I can do to help please let me know, cheers Inny

I can't imagine how you must be feeling! :-( You have our sympathies (probably everyone on the site, and Mazgal and I). :-(

Probably addicts looking for some quick bucks for a score. Pretty sad. So sorry, mudmum! :-(

 

[Bryony]

OMG!!!!!
my poor muddy! I am so glad to hear you are all ok, everything else is dealable with but if they hurt you :evil:
da da daaaaaaaa 'Bryony the bounty hunter' out to get the low lives that robbed you :twisted:

let me know if there is anything i can do

 

[trader]

.... Really very sorry to hear Em! My heart goes out to you and your family. I am glad to hear no one was hurt and that the reptiles are still cozy in their enclosures.

Happy to know you are physically alright..Take care, Jude

Chin up.

 

[Bryony]

[Stevo]

Bounce bounce bounce bounce

 

[Fuscus]

I know that feeling, you feel both frustrated and angry. But it is a great feeling if the police ring back saying that they got them.

And can Bryony do that in real life?

Sorry to hear it mum,
If only i was staying there at the time, i could have hog tied them up and you and moth could have given them a stern lecture!! While i warm up the soldering iron and pliers!!!

 

[rodentrancher]

Sorry to hear bout the burglary EM! Glad they didn't get any of your reptiles. Cheers Cheryl

 

[NoOne]

Little pricks...hope they catch them.

 

[Guest]

That sux Em! Glad they didnt take your babies though.

Oh yes sherm, your a big tough guy, they should be soooooooo scared :roll:

 

[Sdaji]

That makes me so angry. If I had my way, burgling a house would carry the death penalty as a punishment for an adult on their first offence, or at least a long jail sentence ahead of death on a second offence.

I hope they catch the bastards and the magistrate that deals with them is in a seriously bad mood.

We used to have mandantory sentancing up here.
If you stole a biro from the newsagents you went to gaol.
Worked well!

Too bad it got taken away

 

[africancichlidau]

So sorry to hear about this Muddy, thank God you and yours are unharmed though. If they get them I reckon we throw them to the Kimodo at the zoo eh?
All the best sweetness.

 

[soulweaver]

[phantom]
