I have to share this.

I'm in the organization of a band contest with my University. We give a lot of time so new bands will be able to record their first album.

Today, we were preparing the stage, lights and sound.

Some jerk took the occasion to steal my schoolbag. Books, EDC kit, discman with CD (some of them I've been waiting for months).

It was stolen during the soundchecks, a few meters away from me.

Some people just don't have any honor. Hope I'll find the guy and try my 18" GR on his wrist.
 
I laid many a pocket knife down in the student lounge of my college only to have them walk away. And that was 30 years ago- when we were more 'civilized?"

Sorry for your trouble.

Tha sucks, man. When I was in highschool we had a little weasle of a POS sift through the contents of our football locker room. Most of the time, we didn't worry about locking stuff up. In order to sneak in, you had to be pretty ballsy to slink past the coach's office who might or might not be in. Coach knew who was supposed to be in there.
At first there was $30 missing from one of the guy's lockers, as well as a CD walk man, and a VERY nice pocket knife that my girlfriend's parents (now my in-laws;)) had brought back from me from Germany:mad: . However, the little bastid got greedy and came back the last period of the day the next day to see what else might be there for the taking. I "heard" that a few guys caught him in the act and took his baggy jeans as collateral and gave him the choice of going back to the freshman locker room to change into some gym clothes (a LONG walk through the halls in only one's undies), OR he could simply wait for the halls to clear...and for the locker room to fill up with several very unhappy jocks that have been stolen from;)...that's what I heard.

That sucks.

I've had an expensive bike stolen, a nice SLR (Canon) camera, a watch.

It leaves you pissed off. But, it should leave you with new resolve NOT to be to be that way.

Odd that some people have trouble ..... recognizing the limits.

Bad karma for the thief... with a little luck, you'll stumble across him some day when he's feeling lucky and has his guard down...
 
CHECK THE CLOSEST WASHROOM TO WHERE IT WAS STOLEN FROM. From my days managing civic halls, that is usually where they end up after being rifled through. A thief wants to get out with the selected contents, not the bag which is easily identifiable. I have even found wallets inside the toilet cisterns/tanks.

Sorry for your bad luck! But I firmly believe that low-life like that get what they truly deserve at some time.
 
when I was in college, I lived with my sister in a roach-trap apartment in the seedy side of town. We made the mistake of going home for spring break.
(In our 1981 red vega)
When we got back, thieves had broken in one of the windows and stolen our stereos, computer television and a pair of binoculars.
apparently, these dumbasses did not recognize the shape of my french horn case and disregarded it.
(It was worth more than 3,000$)
We all sat around laughing at the morons who took mostly cheap, old stuff but ignored a 3,000$ Farkas Double French Horn.

You gotta laugh, dude.
some day, the person who stole your stuff will wish he could trade places with you, wherever you are...

I had a bottle clipped on it, when I searched outside for "remainings", I found the bottle near the exit door. No hope to find it back.

Then I realized I had my program change form with my social insurance number on it, wich is NOT good, not at all.

School book (100$), a flashlight I bought for that show (a L2P, now discontinued)...

Then I have to go to the police... It's not like if the shows were beginning tonight and I had time to spend on that. Wait... it's the case!

Ain't that last part the truth!!

Your horn story reminds me of one - when in college I lived in a big condemned house with 8 other guys. We were all jocks.

The house couldn't be locked, all the locks on the house were broken, but we figured it didn't matter much since there was always somebody at the house.

We all had bikes, mostly pretty expensive to middling expensive. One fellow, on a budget, went down to a pawn shop and bought a POS 12 speed for 20. All he did to it was give it a new paint job and sand the rust off the spokes.

Somebody came into the house at some point, walked right past $10,000-$15,000 worth of bikes to steal that shiny POS!!

Talk about laugh! :p :D :D

We all felt pretty bad for the fellow whose bike got stolen, so we put a pot together and bought him a new one. All's well that ends well.

Bottom line - crooks are stupid.

The guy who stole my irreplacable British MOD 4 and Commando dagger as well as other knives, CD's and video games died a horrible death...









...lung cancer, y'see.
 
I guess im lucky...
I'v never had any knives stolen but came really close.
I was 17 wit ha 19 year old brother who loves to party(drugs and booze type of parties), and one day I came home, whent to my room and found my Zambezi laying on my bed, the sheath on the other side of my room, my 110 on the floor and a few others that had been played with.

I was pissed off, becasue even tho nothing was stolen, i have really expencive computer + moninter that could have gottin damaged, as well as hundreds of dollars in cd's, a $350.00 paint ball gun, as well as a nice set of tonfas that could have eaisly gone missing.
the end result, one strong lock on my door and only 2 keys.

I'm just glad I learned the easy way
 
well i got this friend named Brad greulich, and gave him my knife to sharpen, and i never saw it again. BRAD wheres my knife. LOL
 
I hate to be the "voice of reason" (really), but this is begging to be said: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure......taking anything you want to keep into a school environment is begging to lose it. Even teachers are not exempt....I've actually observed a teacher eat another's lunch. Whew, Boy!!!
 
The worst offenders are the coaches. Every one of them believes that he or she has a God given right to a large screen moniter and a VCR tape player to view opposing teams for upcoming games. I placed a 5x8 card with the message "This moniter took me 2 years and a grant to acquire. It belongs in room 110. I have the serial number and I will find you."

That summer it 'disappeared.' One of the older coaches had locked it in a closet to which he thought he only had the key. I left another 5x8 taped to the center of the screen..."You have been warned. Which would you prefer to lose, that neat little red Mustang, or your nuts?" A day later the gear miraculously showed up back in my classroom. To this day, the cowardly bastxxd still won't look me in the eye. :D
 
This morning I woke up telling myself: well, this can't get worst: WRONG.

Power failure in half of the city a few hours before the show. PANIC!
 
Years ago a very short friend of mine decided to stop three huge thugs from breaking into a car and stealing it's contents.Anyway they see how small my friend is and they decide to give him the bash.Only thing is they don't know two very small but important facts about this guy...
Fact 1) Karate instructor ... Fact2) Ex-SAS
Oops oh dear never mind...
I think they're still in orbit....
 
Man, thats sorry. Sometimes people suck.
 
That is past.

Somethimes in life, such events give you a lesson: don't trust anyone until they are proven trustworthy.

But even with those crappy events, the show must go on, so I did what I had to do. I even had to wait one week to go to the police because I had more important things to do.

I did quit my job a few weeks before it happened. I told myself: "If you take care not to spend too much on useless things, if you watch your money you should be ok to end the semester without a job and without being broke"

...400$ is something you don't consider in those cases. That's why the last knife I bought was a BAS in December :O
