I Hate a Theif..!! (page 3)

I'm so sorry for your loss, especially the sentimental stuff -- that is irreplaceable. We were burglarized shortly after we got married, and it was a terrible, violated feeling. Fortunately, nothing of sentimental value was stolen (correction: Big Tex's Very First VCR disappeared and he's still mourning that loss), but it was still unnerving.

We have a security system. I don't know how much good it would do in a real emergency, but it makes us feel better. We have two very vocal dogs. The only way they would actually stop a burglar is if he tripped over them (which is a very real possibility, by the way -- happens to us every day), but some people, like the pizza delivery guy, are actually scared of the happy hounds.

I think a security system is a good idea. If you get the kind that makes a loud noise, make sure it doesn't trip at the slightest sound or no one will take it seriously after a while.

Good luck. I hope they catch the guy.

cc and tink, I am so sorry this has happened to you. That is so scary!

We live way out in the country, and our home is isolated. We realized the problem when we moved here, and our solution was a pitbull.

Now dont laugh, let me explain.... American bull terriers are very smart dogs. When trained properly, they are excellent companion animals. People are afraid of pitbulls, because of all the bad press (most of which is malarky).

We have had no problems since getting our dog. We let everyone know he is here. He has a big spiked collar, and looks ferocious. If nobody finds out that he is a lap poodle, we will be fine, lol.

There are many myths surrounding pitbulls, which need to be dispelled. They are really great dogs, and loyal beyond compare. They are very protective of their home and family.

((((((((((((((((((((( CC and Tink)))))))))))))))))))))))) I am so sorry. I thought that homeowners would would cover anything in the home. I hope you get compensated for you loss, although how can you replace sentimental treasures.

BTW, make tracks to all your local pawn shops. Tell them what happened to you, and leave a discription of the jewelry. You stand a good chance of getting it back, as well as catching the thieves. Jewelry will be taken to a pawn shop, I hope you catch those bas*ards!!!

Nina, LittleWitch, Lapuce, & SheilaM...Thanks for your replies!!

SheilaM- Homeowners Ins. will only cover the entire value of jewelry if you insure it on a seperate policy. I did however find out that what the Insurance does not cover can be deducted off your income tax.

As far as a Pit Bull...Shocker would be devistated..LOL...He still thinks he got the Bad guy's...LOL!

I have to agree with little witch,

I to own a dog.He is not a pit bull,but a german shepheard.Our dogs take alot of bs over their breed.I do believe it is the way they are raised. We keep ours in the house at night,with a camera right out on the front door,with the light beeping on at all times.The camera is a fake though! We picked it up at Radio Shack. It was the best $15.99 we ever invested in.I think it is all in how you make your house looking covered. We did have a break in when we first moved to town. (we were in the country with know problems) We were lucky enough that my husband came home and scarred the hell out of them.They ran off dropping everything at the back door.( so glad he did not get his hands on them)Thats when we got the camera.No problems since.

I really think that you and tink would benifit with a fake camera.it is very resonable to purchase.

oh and by the way little witch, my 60 year old parents own a pit bull.The nicest dog you would ever know.He has the big spiked collar as well.You would not want to enter the house though if Chevy did not know you.They are protective dogs.........
