what have criminals done to you?

[RULE303]

Last year in a 3 month span we got done twice.


First time was in early october i had to walk home from school because mum and dad were still working, I opened the door to see the whole house ransacked, i just stood in the entrance while it sunk in, nothing like this had ever happened to me before. Not knowing whether the as$&%<*s were still in the house i slowly walked out, they were long gone but better safe than sorry, i called my mum and dad and i think they got home quicker than they ever had before. After i called them i called 131 444 and the operator told me to go inside and see exactly what had happened, they got in by forcing the laundry door open which is well hidden from the door.

I kept calm until my parents got home then i completely lost it. I had only just turned 13 so i think i dealt with it rather well until the responsibility was taken off my hands. Such a horrible feeling, all my clothes were around the house, i felt like burning them. They were on foot so tv's etc were still there, but laptops, phones, money, dads very extensive and expensive booze collection was gone. The bad bit was my dads works at Yatala prison so they took his uniform and his 2 replica pistols which the cops were really worried about.

They weren't particularly malicious (no broken glass etc) which is a good thing i guess. They wore gloves and we didn't have a security system so no we didn't catch them. The feeling from this is horrible, didn't want to touch anything, i felt sooo violated and wanted to go away for a while, they took the spare car and house keys so had the house locks changed that night, but mum was worried sick about her car getting taken, none of us got much sleep, then in the morning a friend from down the road found the car keys on his front lawn so they must of dropped it while bolting down the street.

Second was a 2 months later, it was around 2am in the morning, I had a friend over for he night so were playing xbox, we heard a noises but didn't think of it as much, woke up the next morning to my quad bike being gone, thought it was gone, but dad went for a walk and found it 200meters down the road. The bastards went straight through our brand new fence without it being in gear. This takes some muscle so i'm guessing there was 2 or 3 of them.

The quad had a broken brake lever and system, bent steering and scratches. still managed to start it and drive it back up to its home. Isn't the most expensive quad so 200 bucks later the quad was all good, still such a pain in the *** though!

Well, there's my two stories of what has happened to me. whats happened to you guys?

PS. We now have a good security system, cctv cameras and crimsafe doors all around the house for peice of mind.
