Ass hat broke the side window of my truck and took my pack.
They got my pack, lunch bag and my knife, a $300.00 Benchmade limited edition. In their haste they forgot to get the wallet and the GHB behind the seat. Still pisses me off even though I got off light. |

The morons who robbed me at gunpoint didn't bother looking into the floor safe where there was a bank bag with an additional $500.

Several years ago I raked up four 48 gallon heavy mil trash bags full of leaves.
I had them sitting on my porch for disposal. About midnight while I was lying in the living room on the couch I hear a funny noise right outside the window exactly where the four bags full of leaves are sitting. I get up to look out the blind and some stupid fuckers thought they had really scored and all that got was my leaves that I was already trying to figure out how to get rid of them. 
Dumb fucks!! |

Years ago I got a call for a burglary. Got there and talked to the victim, and while investigating the scene found the victims wallet. I told him he was lucky the guy didn't find it. He says its not HIS wallet.
We pull the i.d. out and I asked him if this was a friend or aquaintence of his. Nope. Well, this is gonna be an easy arrest! Go to burglars company and ask him if he knows the victim. "No, man. Never heard of him." Ever been to this address? "No, man. Don't even know where that is." Huh! Funny thing that I found your wallet in his broken into room. How'd that happen? "I don't know." Sure ya do! Wanna come clean and get all this bullshit over with or are we gonna drag it out? "Fuckit. Yeah I broke in." Held out his hands and we took a little ride to jail. Wish they were all that dumb. And easy to flip! |

Guy broke into my car and stole my sirius radio, left my shot timer sitting on the seat next to it. I called and the Sirius was bricked at 7am the next morning.
I know two separate robbers who were caught because they bought something to get the cash register open, pulled out a gun and realized after they left they used their store card with their name when they bought the stick of gum or whatever to get the cash register open I knew a guy who broke into a laundramat-fell from the skylight onto the washers. Except it was still open and had customers..... Oh I know a guy who was going to rip off someone coming to buy drugs, except the intended victim ran off and not a shot was fired. As the would be robbers fled one dropped his wallet |

Years ago I did alarm systems down in Miami. One time a customer had a guy sneak into the back yard and throw a rock through a big plate glass window to break into the house. He stood on their childs tricycle to step up and into the dining room through the broken window. The tricycle slipped out from under him and a shard of glass went up into his inner thigh and severed his femoral. The police found him by following the blood trail, he was dead down by the canal bank about 100 yards away.

A local business owner had had some heavy equipment stolen and was pretty sure he knew who did it. A bucket loader or something got stuck and was left by the thief. The business owner may or may not have been known for being willing to get up in the middle of the night and do quick body repairs for free on marked patrol cars if a young police officer maybe slid off the road and hit a fence post. The detective shows up at the suspect's house and asks if he wants to just tell him where the tractor or whatever is that is still missing "Don't know nuffin" "This can go easy or hard" "har har" "Yeah har har this, some of your hair got caught on the stuck bucket loader and once I send it off to the police lab I won't be coming back to talk nicely to you about how this goes" "No way" [detective decides that the suspect's hair looks more like his daughter's hair than his son and fishes out an evidence bag from his coat pocket] "Oh shit" "Yeah, look, you make this easy on me and write out a statement and take me to the tractor before we go back to the station house and....etc" |

That exact scenario happened to my Uncle except they broke into his pole barn and stole tools, one guy left behind his wallet with ID. The burglars were a couple of adult children (19-21) that lived a few houses down. The police talked to them but they denied everything and nothing ever came of it.

Friend of mine owns a restaurant/tavern.
In the office was an old floor safe. It was there when he bought the place and never used it. All that was in it was a piece of paper with the combination written on it. Eventually someone accidentally locked it up. It was so big and heavy he never bothered getting rid of it. One day he pulled in and saw drag marks in the driveway. The front door was busted and followed the drag marks to the office to where the empty safe was. The thieves saved him a lot of trouble. I always laugh when I think about all the work those guys did and their disappointment when they finally cracked it open. |

I fired a guy yesterday for stealing at work. the fool, took a box of angle iron drops. The box was about half the size of a beer case box, and probably weighed 50lbs. This happened right before lunch. One of the women who work in the office goes to lunch at 11, and was sitting out in her vehicle and saw the guy do it. When the thief saw her he dropped down and pushed the box under my truck. Then ducked down and ran back to the shop. I was informed of it right before I go to lunch, and told the owner I"d handle it when I got back. When I got back from lunch, I went up the guy and asked him what's with shoving the shit under my truck. I get the deer in the headlights look. I tell him to get the fuck out, and that was it. This fool lost an easy job making about 15 bucks an hour starting for about 50 cents of scrap metal. None if it useful.

I once had a mountain bike stolen out of my Suburban, it was sitting in front of my house during the night. It was an oversight as my drive way was blocked and I was too lazy to move cars before going to bed that evening.
Anyway, rear window was broken and the bike (worth about $6K) gone. However, they left two pistols in the console, an electric guitar, an amp, > $3,000 of tools in a toolbox and a big ole torque wrench laying right under the bike. Six weeks later the fool was "placed" face down in a parking lot after he decided to sell me my bike back after I placed a want to buy add on Craigslist. Yep, some people are not only immoral but dumber than a box of rocks. I'm talking STOOOOPID! |

Had a janitor at the Best Buy I worked at stealing Mini Disc stuff. He had gotten a player or two and untold numbers of discs.
Then one night he didn't go into the bathroom to tear off all the soft tags (to set off the alarm). He had 15 discs on him. No idea why he had gotten all that he had and then just . . . forget to not get caught. |

i had a cop buddy who told me a story.
he was parked doing paperwork, and a car was parked right in front of kmart, illegally parked. ok, no prob, someone probably picking up granny, or a tv etc. except.... the car sat there for about 45 minutes. my buddy drives by, and sees the tags are expired. ok, he stops for a sec, and when he looks up the cars moving. so he follows it. car drives thru a stop sign.... damn, this guy is just BEGGING, for a ticket. he stops the car, and the driver totally denies being anywhere near kmart at all.
my buddy discovers.... 1. expired tags 2. no insurance 3. expired license.... which is also suspended. 4. plus a warrant for failure to appear the guy denies being at kmart at all... finally guy admits he was " shopping".
. then my buddy notices the entire back floorboard filled with loose items... did kmart stop giving bags to customers and just dump the shit in your car? turns out the guy just rolled a cart FULL of electronics, food, games etc,and dumped them intot he backseat and drove off... if he had not been illegally parked for almost a hour, he would have gotten away with it too. |

The pawn shop where I used to work got broken into a couple times. They have cameras and an alarm system as any pawn shop should. The first time the perp had lost a gun on pawn there and he was pissed that he had lost it and didn't have the money to pick it up. So that night him and buddy busted out the glass in the front door, crack the case open, and make off with the gun. Apparently, after he got outside he thought that it might have been a bad idea. He ditched the gun and his car keys along the road by the shop. The cops picked them up later that morning when they came back looking for their keys...
The second time was the landlord's grandson. He was barely able to stand up he was so drunk. Using a rock and his foot, it took him about a minute to get through the glass of the front door. After he finally got through, he just stood there for a second while the alarm rang. Then turned around and went back out the door. The cops picked him up walking down the road a little later. Then you have the morons that thought we couldn't see them on the cameras. Caught one the boss' self-proclaimed "good friends" stuffing a portable DVD player into his jacket pocket. And then there was the guy who shoved a Playstation 2 down his pants... |

I am not sure if this falls under stupid or mildly brilliant.
A woman passed away a few months back and her house has been sitting empty while the heirs were trying to set up an estate auction. Two weeks ago a man and his wife, both meth heads, rent a U-haul truck and back it up to the house and start loading up furniture. Now this house sit on Central Avenue, lot of traffic going by, also the police station sits 5 blocks away on the very same street. The fire dept is two blocks away on a different street. I guess what I am trying to say is a secluded spot this ain't. Neighbors see the truck, see the couple loading the truck, and call the police. Suspects take off on foot right as the cops show up. The guy left his drivers license in the cab, the truck was rented in his name. The police also found a receipt to a local motel, and after getting a warrant, they find meth and other stolen shit in the room. Two days later both idiots are picked up and jailed. |

Young woman in jail on multiple drug use, drug possession, & probation violation charges. She calls a friend of hers on the telephone. She encourages said friend and directs said friend to break into x-boyfriend's house. Friend follows directions to steel big screen TV, speakers, musical equipment, and some other things. Yep those calls are recorded, she gets popped for burglary while she is sitting in custody.
That had to be one of easiest burglaries for the county attorney to prove ever!

I parked my car in downtown Houston on a Sunday morning. I was running the Houston Marathon, so I left my wallet with at least a hundred dollars in it in the closed center console. I left my pistol in the same console. I also had my school backpack in the floorboard of the passenger seat.
Come back a few hours later and find my driver's side window busted in. Glass had cut my leather seats and some of the plastic. Thing is, they only grabbed my backpack and left the center console alone (would have taken 2 seconds to open) so they didn't get my wallet or pistol. Thing is that backpack had nothing at all of value in it. I had school papers and a book or two (not valuable) in there. Nothing else. They dropped the backpack a few blocks over and I recovered it. They did over $2,000 in damage to my brand new vehicle to get a ratty packpack worth nothing. And it was cold as shit that day so driving an hour home with the open window just made me angrier and angrier. |

Drive a target, be targetted. Ummmm..... it doesn't matter what you drive. In college my roommate drove an old Tacoma and we lived in a less than savory part of town. About every so often someone would jiggle open the two sliding glass doors in the back window of the cab and steal any random change he happened to have in his ash tray. It happened many many times. That is why I never leave even an empty bag in plain sight in a vehicle...... because the thief doesn't know its empty until your window is broken or your lock is popped. And by that time you are stuck with a repair bill. |

We had a huge new valve left over from a water plant job we were doing upgrades on. It weighed easily 400lbs. All the while the work was going on, you could see the other dipshits in the buildings at our ski area salavating over the possibility of stealing some metal to scrap.......because that's what the low lifes in the nearest town did.....and we hired them all as maintenance on the mountain and snowmakers.
We chain this huge globe valve to the fence and are already calling it gone. The mountain manager's worthless son comes back that night down our road in the woods to the facility and he and a friend steal this honkin huge ass valve and throw it in the trunk of his beat up gigantic four door, full size rusted out 1977 Buick Battlestar Galactica All went well until he went around the first sharp curve, where the valve shifted, wiping the rear out on the shitty roads, launching the valve right through the side of the trunk and taking the whole body panel with it.

It was cold as shit and it rained at the start of the marathon and I commented to my daughter and girlfriend what a terrible mess they made of the vehicle. My daughter did the half marathon that day. |

National chain gas station out on the highway that has a reward card. Got held up on a Sunday nite at knife-point. Thief got about $500 and a handful of cigarettes. When they reviewed the video, the day clerk recognized the guy from the afternoon before. When he bought a soda and chips, and swiped his rewards card. That was registered in his name and address.

I have a story from the opposite side of the spectrum. My Uncle is a Catholic Priest and back 40 or so years ago he would throw HUGE Thanksgiving meals for the entire extended family. His rectory was huge and had room for all the aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews. I was about 7 and the room my brother and I were in had a safe in it and I kept playing around with it, opening and closing it. Uncle walks in and says "how are you doing that, we haven't used this safe since someone stole the payroll out of it and never figured out how they did it?" I peeled back a blotter pad that was on top of the safe and showed my Uncle the original sticker from the manufacturer that had the combination on it. I forget if there were facepalms in '74 or not, but something similar occurred at the minimum.

Back in 99 a classy, intelligent gent tried to steal my car radio.
Busted out the passenger side window and proceeded to tear up my dash trying to get the radio out. Absolutely destroyed my dash... like they must have been going at it with a claw hammer, twisted metal and broken plastic everywhere destroyed. In the process they cut themselves pretty badly as there was blood splattered -everywhere- inside the car. Try as they might they couldn't get the radio out of the dash, so they grabbed my spindle of CD's off the floor (as the glove compartment was also on the floor, as they had destroyed it) and ran away. They left a trail of my CDs across the parking lot right up to their apartment door. I told the responding officer about it and he knocked on the door. Inside he found the classy gent with his hands and arms all cut to shit with half a stack of my CD's. Repair bill for my car was upwards of 4 grand... all for an attempt to steal a hundred dollar low end Sony CD player and he made off with about 4 bucks worth of CD's. |

Years ago I did alarm systems down in Miami. One time a customer had a guy sneak into the back yard and throw a rock through a big plate glass window to break into the house. He stood on their childs tricycle to step up and into the dining room through the broken window. The tricycle slipped out from under him and a shard of glass went up into his inner thigh and severed his femoral. The police found him by following the blood trail, he was dead down by the canal bank about 100 yards away. Not uncommon apparently. Woman dies from blood loss. |

Years ago we had a bad winter storm, city lost power for a week. My brother had to abandon his house for a few days to stay warm. When he came back someone had broken in and stole thousands in guns tools and electronics. Police came out and said there was nothing they could do. At that point my brother pointed out the footprints in the snow going back and forth from his house to a neighbors house he had never talked to before. Police got a warrant and recovered 90 percent of what was stolen plus found tons of other items tied to many burglaries in the neighborhood.

I had a washer and dryer stolen out the back of my truck, along with a bunch of old tools, $1500 worth of locksmith tools, locks and parts.
I wasn't bent about the machines I hope they enjoyed them, the dryer didnt heat, and the washer gushed water out the bottom and didnt drain. Joke was on them, I hope their wives beat the shit out of them for it too.

I wonder if your the same guy I came across right after the marathon when you and I guess other friends just discovered the break in? It was cold as shit and it rained at the start of the marathon and I commented to my daughter and girlfriend what a terrible mess they made of the vehicle. My daughter did the half marathon that day.

Quoted:
I parked my car in downtown Houston on a Sunday morning. I was running the Houston Marathon, so I left my wallet with at least a hundred dollars in it in the closed center console. I left my pistol in the same console. I also had my school backpack in the floorboard of the passenger seat. Come back a few hours later and find my driver's side window busted in. Glass had cut my leather seats and some of the plastic. Thing is, they only grabbed my backpack and left the center console alone (would have taken 2 seconds to open) so they didn't get my wallet or pistol. Thing is that backpack had nothing at all of value in it. I had school papers and a book or two (not valuable) in there. Nothing else. They dropped the backpack a few blocks over and I recovered it. They did over $2,000 in damage to my brand new vehicle to get a ratty packpack worth nothing. And it was cold as shit that day so driving an hour home with the open window just made me angrier and angrier. I wonder if your the same guy I came across right after the marathon when you and I guess other friends just discovered the break in? It was cold as shit and it rained at the start of the marathon and I commented to my daughter and girlfriend what a terrible mess they made of the vehicle. My daughter did the half marathon that day. It was the 2012 Houston Marathon. I'm 6' 5", shaved head, and there were probably flames shooting out of my ears because I was PISSED. |
