I am SO PISSED OFF! Someone broke into my house on Friday while my wife and I were at work and my kids were at school/day care. Apparently, my neighbor spotted the jerk as he was backing his car up to load it up, but he'd already swiped my XBox 360 premium edition and its 2 wireless controllers, my wife's wedding ring and james avery cross ring, and two gold/diamond heart pendants I'd given my wife on anniversaries.
To make matters worse, my mother in law brought my kids into the house before I got home and before the police arrived and becuase they started picking things up and checking to see what was stolen, they compromised ANY fingerprint evidence that could have been in there.
My neighbor didnt' get the jerk's license plate and it was just a vague description (White male, 30s, overweight, blond hair and balding). The guy had gotten spooked by the neighbor and only got away with the console and controllers, but LEFT my stack of 360 games behind.
If this dork was going to play the XBox 360, I've gotten the last laugh since I notified XBox and XBox live, the serial number's been flagged as stolen, if he tries to reregister or log onto XBox live, they'll send out spyware to disable it and render it unusable, and I've already called GameCrazy, EBGames, EZPawn, GameStop and all the local non-chain pawns and given them the serial number, so if he tries to sell it, he's busted.
I don't really expect to get it back, and my homeowners insurance will only reimburse above my deductible of $800.00, so the most we expect to get back is a few hundred dollars. We've also replaced the back door and door frame with a steel door and frame, installed burglar bars, added several more deadbolts and installed an alarm and monitoring service. IF that dork comes back, he'll find it impossible to get in without making an awful lot of racket, and when that alarm goes off, he'll be heading for the hills. I've also installed game cameras in hidden locations to catch any vehciles that pull into our driveway and get their license tags. This isn't happening to us again, that's for DAMN SURE!!!
