really p*ss me off. I went out to the garage this morning to find that some pr**k (s) had gone through my garage and my car. Clearly just after money as that is all that seems to be taken so far - left iphone car charger and stereo on the front seat......went through all my board bags and my wetsuits were all over the floor. My mountain bikes remain untouched. What a farrrrrrrrrrken mess though. Oh well now I have to wait for the mighty forensic team to show up - so it ruins my day as well. Fortnuately I can work from home but I was supposed to be down in the City today.
I know I can not really complain as it would appear I have got off lightly and there are loads of other people in a lot worse off situations than me but faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark it annoys me!
Anyway just had to have a rant.
No kids here but certainly a few undesirables floating around....I have just discovered that they have taken the garage controller as well. Oh well it will prove no use to them as I have just deleted all codes and will re-programme when I get a new controller.
Pity you can't somehow programme the garage door to call your mobile when the old remote code is used on their return visit (I'm assuming this is why they took it in the first place) or better still it turns on a 10000 volt charge to your car doors.
What low life scum. Has happened to me. Pretty crappy feeling. When the forensics come, be prepared to clean up the magical black dust that is nearly impossible to clean up. I spent ages getting rid of it.

Be happy, you got off real easy... last time my garage got broken into they stole everything... tools , bicycles 
, wine, helmets, kiting gear... except the kites few!
The forensic team aren't going to do ****, except get black crap everywhere. Even if you tell the cops who stole your stuff, and show them video footage, they won't do anything.
I think the sharia's got it right with theft... you steel, you lose hand.

- but as the person above me said they wanted the opportunity to come back for more so be prepared I guess mate .... every dog has it's day
..... don't know how folks can do that type of thing really to be honest mate....now you've got to have even more strangers going through your belongings (cops)
Having the same problem with young teenage daughter at the moment - there is never any parking meter money in the cars
as said earlier screw the forensics team . All they are going to do is sprinkle that ****ing carbon dust everywhere, go "hmm no good for prints" and then leave you to try and clean that **** off stuff . I still have that carbon dust in certain places at my place from two years ago . **** just does not go away .
Crikey was gonna have a whinge yesterday here but was too pissed off, yesterday someone walked into my house, yes into the house and stole my 19 inch rims, had brand new tires on them. took nothing else although I had tools everywhere too. I was away , I moved into a share house which is only a year old so thought that would prevent the scum, the rent is sky high too (in Freo) but one of the roomies is a bit sus and has some sus characters over occasionally, cant point any fingers though, didnt catch anyone in the act.
2200 worth of rim and tyre GONE, also missing my battery charger and esky from a few days earlier when moving in.
NOT HAPPY JAN
Dunno whether its worth callin the cops though.
ripped out of backyards by people they know and associated with.
Cheers Ted, hope they find the priks who did your place over too, I have bad luck with car accessories, got a $2000 car stereo and amp and sub stolen ten years ago, was gonna sell these rims, had them for 4 years, but only did 400 k's on them and hated the bumpy ride they give, was gonna sell em for $1200, anyway, no chrissie presents for the neices and nephews now.
I dunno if the fingerprint brigade would do any good, got six people living here, got my suspicions on who could have been involved, so might go and tell them, there is a disingiushing feature on them though, which I wont mention, but I might go down to the cops later, Im waiting on a package I cant afford to lose.
Cheers Woodo, but I cant afford any vigilante justice, been there done that got the shirt so to speak, it never works out though, just escalates.
Just found out sus guy is moving back to QLD. Hmmm
Might pay to keep your eye on EBAY, and GUMTREE,
And check all your local pawn brokers like cash converters etc,
You never know,
Thats where 1/2 the stuff ends up,
I hope your lucky,
CHEERS
A few years back my place got done over very early one xmas morning while i slept off a big xmas eve drinks. Yep, while i slept soundly on the lounge they did over the rest of the place. wetsuits wallets some fishing gear. i guess my boards were to much of a pain in the ass to get over the fence with. The good thing about this story is when forensics came out and dusted everything they asked me if i was pulling an insurance job on them as my fingerprints were on all surfaces. F#$%in funny that when i live here. A little bit of respect for the boys and girls in blue was lost that day.
thieves should just have the sh1t kicked out off them,then hog tied,driven to the hole they live in so you can take all their crap out onto the lawn and burn it. then go back in and give them another kicking[}:)]
,,,, then kick the cockroach out of them again before you leave for good measure for all the others that they've probbly done over for crack money.
There would be a lot less crime if these were allowed for home protection purposes only:
A while ago I bought little IP camera. About 60 bucks online. It connects to your home network and can stream live or save pictures when motion is detected. Pan & tilt but no zoom. It also has wireless which did not work too well. The image quality is not great and overall is pretty basic but for 60$ I'm not complaining. I'm sure there are better
You could use it as cheap home surveillance system... and hopefully some evidence next time (or watch robbery at your place live 
Ok went ond filled out a police report today, thought it might be a good idea, just in case I spot my wheels, then Ive got it on file. They said forensics still have to come and investigate, its useless going for prints at this stage though, and theres no way im cleaning black **** from the landlords brand new house. I'll just have to tell them to jam their dust.
