First thing the Sheriff's Deputy asked is if any firearms were taken. Damn... Dave.. 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonny Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Sorry. It's a horrible feeling to know someone unknown to you was in your home, going through your personal things. Happened to me many years ago and it took awhile to get past it. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it was a few days ago, I'm still pissed when cleaning up.. But I did learn from Sun Tzo writings "The Art of War". Decoys and other things to turn the eye away do work... At last some of his principles I applied through the years did work here. That is one good thing that did make me smile. Even out of the worst I found something to smile about.....

BamaBud Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I i interrupted a burglary at my house in N.J. I putzed around in my car in the driveway for about two minutes. They were hightailing it out my back door, where they had gained entrance. I was taking a leak when i noticed my closet doors and ALL my drawers open. Cut the stream off in mid-pee! Noticed my pistol laying out, they didn't take it. I cleared the house with it after i checked it was still loaded. Cops arrived, pointed out burnt matches everywhere. They used them instead of turning lights on. Thank God they didn't burn the place down! Edited January 26, 2020 by BamaBud 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaBud Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I don't know how long they had, but they had found almost everything of value. My silver dollar collection (150+ coins), my pistol, my electronics were all unplugged and sitting on top of where they were normally stored. Didn't take any of it, so that's why I'm sure i scared them off. Neighbor was a locksmith, bought my first safe the next day from him, and he helped me "harden" my house for free! Good guy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Man. I'm sorry. I despise a thief. What a worthless POS, to take what someone else put effort into acquiring. Glad your decoys worked. Get those coins in the safe. Now that they know you have them... Any video? No alarm? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one got hurt and my dog was at doggie day care. Now I have to go to Wallmart and get a bunch of more costume jewelry to put in the box. They looked at at an old Crossman pellet pistol I had from when I was a boy. Threw that down but overlooked some other things more worthy nearby. The art of deception did work here..

DrB Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Saw in the newspaper I think they my have found the creep who broke into my house. Known in several counties for breaking and entering. Has extensive record but keeps getting released by the liberal judges here. Seems he was driving around house without lights at night around houses and it got called in. He came back to his parked car off the road and started yelling at the folks with flashlights looking in "Hey It's my car". Thought it was the homeowners looking around with flashlights.... Wrong It was the Sheriff's Deputies... A chase ensued needless to say. K9 dog and a drone involved to find. Dog lost the sent so the called a drone in. Could not find him but driving around they found a barn door open that they closed during the search before. And Yes.... Found him in a barn hiding under a blanket in a car he broke into after the long long search. Good job Deputies for not giving up. I think the liberal judges will just let him back on the street again,sad to say. Too bad the good doggie did not get a chance to chop down. The Deputies said he is well schooled in the art of burglary due to his record. Why aren't these people locked up and the key thrown away?

DrB Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Damn good job by the Deputies. They did not give up. It took several hours. Hopefully it was this creep that broke into my house and he got caught again. Dave.. Edited February 29, 2020 by DrB 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Long ago (very rural Texas), someone put up signs, "Emergency Neighborhood Meeting...." I showed up. I didn't know. Everyone around had been broken into. We had a pitbull. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Our psycho-mutt died a while ago. The house was safe with her. She wasn't right. The new dog is a huge poodle-dog. She's abnormally big. Moose. She's a goofball, and not mean at all, but when she barks, she means business. You'd better go look. That's what we've got.

Huaco Kid Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 When we lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Houston (long long ago), I bought one of those cheap 3'x3'x3' fire safes to put my guns in. You could bolt it to the floor (but they were plywood) (I never bolted it down). Houston was rife with messcans and dopers. After a minute, I figured to just fill the safe with bags of quarters, a couple bricks, and some boxes of ammo. It weighed 200 lbs. And hid my guns elsewhere. I figured they'd find the safe in a jiffy, haul it off, and not even look anywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Since the criminal justice system appears to be more interested in inconveniencing the criminals rather than protecting the public from them, I propose that if they catch a galoot that robs your house, you get to go to his house and pick out whatever you want.

From looking at his picture in the paper, I highly doubt that scum would have anything I would even want. Let alone even to want to walk into the crap hole he probably lives in. I suggest they let the victims draw cards, give the creep a few seconds head start, and the winner gets to light them up with a little bit of lead.
