Just came home from a rehearsal to find that somebody had broken into my house. I had a look around, but nothing from the "major" things seem to be missing. It's just that the house is an absolute mess and in a horrible state. All the clothes from all the cupboards are lying all over the place, all desks have been disassembled, there's sheets of paper lying around everywhere, all the furniture is fucked and there are blood stains everywhere (one of the fuckers might have hurt himself breaking into the house - bloody amateur!).

Police have been here and all the evidence (including DNA, of course) has been secured. After they were finished I just left the house and went for a couple of drinks. I'm now in a room downstairs they haven't been in, thankfully, so I can sleep here without having to be grossed out by the surroundings.

I'll check the house thoroughly tomorrow and report to the police if something is missing. Then I'll get to cleaning the shit out of this muhfukka.

I know the feeling my apartment was broken into back n October n I moved the same day to a much better place in the Burbs Hope everything works out for you. Some muhfuckkas just need their ass kicked

wow I've never heard of police using DNA for breakin's. Here in the US they you're lucky if they even dust for finger prints.

Im so sorry dave

I didn't know they would do that either. I watched them and asked them all sorts of questions and they were really nice and told me everything I wanted to know. They even gave me a "starter's kit" with gloves and DNA collecting devices and shit.

I said "cheers. If them fuckers had stolen mine, at least I already have a new one!"

bad luck dave, not a nice experience 4 u. hope nothing important turns up missing

Geezzzz that sucks major monkey balls.

Did they touch any of your Prince stuff???

They may have been watching the neighbourhood. It could be someone who is jealous of your recent music release maybe.

Change the locks. Maybe look into some sort of security alarm.

Yikes. Never been broken into, thank goodness.

I'm glad you didn't happen onto the burglar. If he cut himself bad enough to leave blood stains everywhere and still ransacked your place, he was probably in a particularly bad mental space and could've been very dangerous.

The biggest coincidence is that I ordered a security alarm exactly 10 days ago...

And no, thankfully my CDs and LPs are all in place. That's about the only thing that has not been touched.

Yeah. I guess I was lucky they/he was gone when I entered, because my first reaction was to instantly search the house and backyard (didn't even bother to look for something I could use as a "weapon"). God knows what would have happened if I had found them hiding somewhere... While doing that I already called the police, who told me to get out of the house immediately.

Wow that just really sucks! How weird that someone broke in, ransacked your place, bled all over and didn't take anything major. Count your panties.

Police said the burglars might have been disturbed by something/someone.

I mean, those idiots carried a bucket full of ancient coins (with quite a value) from the bedroom all the way to the kitchen and then left it on the fridge.

who was the alarm service person who came to your home, those people always seem like creeps.

I usually keep my cool in situations like this, and (apart from rushing through the house and looking for the bad guy to quickly punch him in the face and save the world) did the logical thing to do, step by step, but I still have difficulty falling asleep. I'm not paranoid or afraid, but every time I close my eyes I seem to hear noises coming from upstairs (the ground floor).

This is fucked up, especially because I have to get up early tomorrow morning and deliver a couple of good vocal tracks in the studio.

This did occur to me immediately. I mean, that alarm guy had a look around my house and all that, and one week later this shit happens. Again, I'm not one for conspiracy-theories, but the thought definitely did occur to me.

I mentioned this to the police, but they immediately shrugged it off and said they can't imagine that company could have anything to do with that...

Muthafukkas!

This reply works in this instance too. I am so sorry this happened to you, it sucks... WTH is up with people...freggin' crackheads.

I'm sorry to hear that! But I'm glad you're safe, and that they didn't take anything of value.

Have the police checked the hospitals for anyone that needed to get stitched up?

Sorry to hear that Dave.

The paranoia (in the sense that you'll be "alert" to every little noise and movement) should go away quickly.

Maybe it was someone who knew you were a musician and assumed that you had a nice stash of drugs in the house?

Come on Dave.

Where have you put the bodies Dave? Everything's gon be alright, just tell us where you buried them. You'll never get away with it Dave. There's paint on the walls, concrete on the pathways and tarmac on the roads. Stars in the sky too. They've got you by the bollocks mate.

Come on, do what's right. You can still sing your heart out in the morning. All this'll just serve to encourage ya. Do the right thing Dave.

Seriously... Fucking nasty. Sorry to hear it. Sounds like they were fuckwits, hopefully you didn't get stung too badly. Chin up and lock tight.

oh god!

so sorry to hear. thank god you are okay.

Well that sucks major a*s.

Glad that they didn't take anything major--but more importantly, glad you didn't run into the bastards. Your safety counts most.

Sorry to hear this.

Hopefully the stuff that matters to you the most didn't interest the burglars.

Booo!!! Sorry to hear that!

I have not experienced this, but I did go in my brother's house after it was broken into and he was on vacation. It was a very weird feeling to know someone had been through it, and to see the evidence all around.

People are animals

I guess so, but I doubt the burglars would risk that...

I don't know. Judging by what they left behind it is possible they were looking for something completely different, maybe drugs.

But then again, I doubt they had any idea what they were doing whatsoever. Looks like a half-assed job to me.

Yeah, the feeling someone I don't know was in my home is actually more uncomfortable than knowing they might have stolen some things of material value. It just grosses me the fuck out. Especially with the blood stains everywhere...

set of twats...

is your's the only place to have been broken in to?

It's far more likely that the house was chosen (targetted) than the person, (ie: ground floor, ease of escape etc) if you know what I mean...

and by the sounds of it I think it was Joe Pesci and the other bloke from Home Alone that did it!
