So Friday right as I pulled upin my car to my apartment I got a phone call. It was a place I interviewed at and they said they'd hire me. I was soo excited and happy I ran upstairs to my apartment to tell my roommate. After sharing the news I walked out into my living room and noticed my Taiko Drummaster game wasn't in the tv stand, I then looked down and noticed all my PS2 games were missing along with my PS2... I asked my roommate if she had lent them out to someone and she said no... so I panicked and screamed "Well where the F*CK are they!" I ran downstairs to tell my landlord and he called the cops. Upon their arrival I realized more of my stuff was missing.. we had been robbed .. my laptop, new luggage with whatever else was still in it from my trip this summer *including my passport*, my ps2 and all 13 games, 2 sega controllers, my jewelry, AZ's cellphone charger, my camera and memory cards and my roommate's purse were all stolen... I hope the bastards that did this die a terrible terrible gruesome death...
the other part that freaks me out is that someone I don't know was in my apartment.. I don't know how they got in... no sign of an aggressive break in.. and it happened when my roommate was home. She briefly took the garbage out... definately not enough time for them to snag all the stuff and get out without her seeing them. They had to have had a key and might have been in there when she got home but hid, and when she took the garbage out they probably grabbed her purse and ran out the back door.
All the doors were locked, she remembers having to unlock the door when she came back up from taking the garbage out *we always lock the doors no matter what* and I remember unlocking the door when I came home.
I just don't know

holy crap! this is more than just a little bad. how are you with money now? will you at least be able to sustain yourself and pay rent? I really hope you nothing intensly important was lost. will your roommate be alright with that sensitive information gone? she should probably cancel any credit or debit cards she may have had just in case if she hasnt already. and your laptop, thats just not good to lose. sorry, im sorta flipping out about this. it happend to my friend Jeebus (a nickname for him since i know too many erics) before he moved to chicago. he had saved up about $5000 for the move, but a couple days before he planned to move, he checked his account balance and it was sitting at about $30. his mom has access to his bank account and has apparently done this before. but what a horrible time to do it. im freaking out about you because i freaked out about it with him. i really really hope you can pull things back together in time and that this hasnt caused any permanenet and irreprible harm. if there's anything i might be able to do (even though i lack pretty much everything) let me know.

It's sad to hear that the world would steal from a college student... The articles that are missing include so many personal items. If you need help, just let us know.

Jeez.... what a world... That's terrible! I really hope the cops can find some sort of evidence and catch the bastard... So many important things... amazes me the lows some people can sink to. Absolutely rediculous... I'm really sorry that happened to you guys... I'm very relieved though, that money and stuff was all he was after and that nobody was physically harmed. It really could have gotten bad... So thank goodness it wasn't worse...

Jesus Christ... that's fuckin terrible... I wish you the best of luck in getting you're things back... I'm holding onto every positive thought and outcome possible in my mind for you...
And it's times like these I wish I had cash to donate. You've been such a great friend, I only wish I could return the favor. I'll see what happens here in the future...
Do you think it may have been one of your neighbors? (given the details you described?)

there are some sick people in this world. Who steals from a college student? WHO?! as if things aren't bad enough trying to get shit together to support yourself, pay for your tuition, etc etc, some bastard has to go rob you. That totally sucks, especially since so many items of personal value were taken (passport, camera and memory cards) like waffle said, i hope you can pull things together, and that the damage isn't to irreparable. That really sucks. I'm really sorry

Waffles: I'm fine with money, they didn't steal that :I thankfully. Indirectly they did by stealing the expensive objects, but I have moola to pay the bills. I don't know what exactly is considered intensely important, but my laptop which I cherished is gone, but no important numbers were taken. My roommate and I are doing a bit better. Still don't feel totally safe but we're recovering. She cancelled her cards as soon as she found out. While she was reporting them lost she found out that the bastards had already used them, but she got her money back. I'm not sure what anyone can do for me.. no one has to do anything. :I what's lost is lost. I'll just have to slowly rebuild again what I had. The next day I went out and bought new locks and installed them. My landlord isn't getting the f-ing keys because I really feel like it was one of his workers. They like to randomly appear in my apartment to "work" on things for me. They DO fix things, but I'd like warning before they come, and I'm supposed to be home when they do >.> I came home one afternoon and there were 2 men in my bathroom working on stuff. That freaked me out. And another one of the workers he just let himself in my back door and saw I was there and he said "Oh, you don't lock your back door?" and I replied sternly "YES we lock our back door." and he replied, "Oh you don't lock your back door?" and again I replied the same >.< he came in, took a look in my bathroom and left... he's a very supiscious suspect. We lock our damn doors but our landlord has the key sitting right up front of the restaurant so his workers just come right in when they please. My landlord insists he keeps the keys in his office but one of my neighbors said that he was locked out once and saw them take the keys out from a security bag behind the counter. It's very frustrating... I haven't been able to talk to the cops since the day it happened because I didn't have one assigned to my case all last week and now I hear the one that is assigned to it is on leave. AC: I KNOW!! >.< I'm not a student anymore, but I just graduated... I'm just starting a new job, I have hardly any money and anyTHING, so WHY take my things.. ZaCloud: The cops came over right away and a few hours later a guy came to check for fingerprints. But none of the surfaces were appropriate for fingerprints... you need to basically have fingerprints on glass, otherwise you're screwed because everything is made these days to not retain fingerprints, otherwise we'd be cleaning all the time. I thought my desk and tv stand were hopeful, but they have a slightly textured surface. The guy said to me "I'm sorry, it's not CSI, I can't do DNA scans and all that." I understand, but it's still frustrating there's nothing really that they can do >.< I just want them to interrogate those bastards that work in the restaurant downstairs. I'm glad no one was hurt as well... seeing as my roommate was home when it happened. Who knows where they were in the apartment when she was here. She got home and went directly to her room and emptied the garbage. Whenever she's home alone she tends to close the door and play her music really loud and the fan for the heater was running very loudly in our main hallway. I just want her to say that she forgot to lock the door... at least that way I can feel safe in knowing the locks work. Squiky: Thanks, you don't have to do anything :I like I said before. We're all young and low on cash >.< It's not my neighbors. I have only one set of neighbors in this side of the building, but the back is all connected to other buildings...so it could have possibly been one of the other neighbors but not the immediate. I'm thinking whoever it was used the backdoor. My landlord may have been an idiot and forgot to change that lock and the old tenants may have returned :I Whoever it was, they had time to scope the place out and knew when we were away. Prodigi: I know >.<
