House Break In..

[Hognutz]

Went to the family cabin in northeast Wi. on Sat. morning, expecting to stay untill next Sunday. Got a call on Monday morning from my mother-in-law saying that when she went inside to bring in our mail, there was glass all over the floor. She backed out and called 911. While we were gone, either Sat. or Sun. night some low life smashed the window out of one of the bathrooms and robbed us. We live in a rural area, right off of a main hwy. Our neighbors are not very close, and they are growing corn around us, so it blocks their view anyway. I was 4 hrs away with stuff to pack and a boat to load. I called the sheriff's department, and was told that it looked like kids that did it. All they took was a couple of change jars (Probably $150 or so) and about $120 in bills that we had set aside for the Visa bill. They went through every drawer in the house. Did not ransack it. They pushed all the drawers back in. No finger prints. They were wearing gloves. So I need a new window. They also tried prying a service door into the garage, but that did not work, so that is bunged up, as well. $1000 worth of damage and they stole about $300. Makes you want to cry. It is a violation of the worst degree. Needless to say, I would like to catch these thievin' little buggers and teach them a thing or two about messin' with me and my stuff. The guns, except for a few old ones, are locked up. My Harley and the wife's new Acadia were not touched.They even left two knives that were in one of the change jars. I guess they just needed some quick cash. So now we are home after two days of a ten day vacation. It could have been way worse, so in that respect, I guess I was lucky...Mike

  I have had a couple of vehicles stolen and broken into.  It is very irritating and it would not do for me to ever catch them.   

[guesswho]

I hate to hear about that.  it's getting to be a pretty common occurrence.  Karma will catch up with them at some point.

Sounds like someone you know. Kinda ironic it happened when you just left. Mention it to anyone with some teenage pot head kids that you know? They may not have done it, but bet they know who did.

Sorry to hear about your losses and the messed up vacation.  Hope they catch the little turds.

sorry to hear this; This would be one of those moments you would have loved to walk in and catch them in the act.
See how they would like a pair of handcuffs.

Sorry to read. You are so correct in it could have been worse. To have the house ransacked, things broken just to be broken, smashed, and in disarray is heart breaking. Glad it was relatively minor in the repairs and stuff stolen.




God Bless,
