Well me and my wife worked things out for now. Our marriage is probably better than it was before this all happened. Some time without me made her see what she was loosing. Back on topic. I went to pick up my daughter from school 3 days ago. I was gone about 25-30 minutes. When I got back home, my first warning sign. The front door deadbolt was unlocked when I always lock it as I leave the house. Second warning sign. My 6 month old staffordshire terrier was hiding behind the sofa. Being armed as I always am I checked the house to make sure nobody was there. All clear. But items were stolen. Here is the list of stolen items. Be warned this will make you sick to your stomache. 1 WWII 16.5 inch. 1 Ang Khola Bowie. 1 19.5 inch CAK. 1 R4 knife. And prescription meds. Electronics, PC, everything else is accounted for. Anyway another crappy event in my messed up life lately. At least nobody got hurt. Not that hurting somebody didn't cross my mind after the fact. The detective with the sherrifs dept. is checking pawn shops and such. Considering how unique the knives are they shouldn't be hard to locate if they are pawned. Police said it was more than likely somebody we know because they got exactly what they broke in to get and noting else. And they were probably walking since they didn't take any tv's or my katanas. But I'm back online now. I did grab that fish knife from DOTD to start my collection over. Anybody have a "fish knife" let me know what you think of it. Sad days around here, sad days.:mad::(:(:(
 
Well damn!
This is making me want to consider buying a Gun Safe for all those collections of mine.

Really hope you get your stuff back somehow, some day.

Now I need to go see if I can move out into the country where there is no city slickers to bother me at.
 
My first decision was to call the sherrifs department. I'm just angry because someone stole from me things that have taken me a long time and a lot of money to collect. They have no Idea what they have in their possesion, or the true falue of the items. Took me forever to get that AK Bowie. Now it's gone.
 
That's tough, man. Sorry for the loss. I know that kind of anger. I still carry it for some relatives that stole most of my deceased father's gun and knife collections.
Early Ruger No. 1 (two of 'em), very old Fox, Stevens and Ithaca doubles (one of which was my great grandfather's) and half a dozen bolt and pump guns. Plus, all the custom knives he had left me, including a beautiful Loveless. This all happened when I was 7. I'm 29 now. I still get burnt up whenever I see those certain "family" members.
 
It shouldnt be that hard to figure out who was in your house. They would have most likely used a key if your deadbolt was unlocked. So narrowing down the list of friends/family who have keys to you place would help. If thats not the case whoever broke in probably went though a different door seeing as most people wont be trying to pick open a front door in broad daylight.

The most important thing about your posting today is this: "Well me and my wife worked things out for now. Our marriage is probably better than it was before this all happened."

Nearly a month ago you had posted: "My wife an I are separating, which will more than likely end in divorce. I'm moving out of my house that I built with my own two hands."

I don't mean to minimize the loss of your collection, and I fully understand your sense of outrage, but still, if you balance that against the recovery of your marriage and your house, you're a lucky man.

Now let's hope that the thieves try to pawn your stuff locally.

Ouch. Violated. Loss of more than "things". I hope you stay on top of it, and not get rolled over by it all.
 
I'm moreso happy that you and your wife worked things out, that you and those you care about are safe. In the big scheme of things, you and yours are whole and happy, and that is a great thing, that is a very great thing. It is hard to see past anger, but not impossible. Now, it is easy for me to say that now, but what about when it happens to me? Well, that is one of the many reasons why I have friends to lean on. We all have troubles. Set aside your anger, and lean on us, we will support you for however long it takes for you to recover. Okay dude? And yes, Bill Withers is awesome, you saw the references to Lean On Me, right? Well, peace, dude, I hope you get your stuff back, but in the meantime, take some time and, I don't know, celebrate or something. Virtually everything you love and care about is there by your side. That's a good thing. Peace.

I've been thinking about it and can see that this is very targeted kind of thievery. Did you leave them out in the open, laying around? Or was it tucked away? If it was tucked away, how many people know about those knives? How many did you show?

I think it's time to play Hardy Boys and find out who the jackass is that stole them all with clues hopefully laying around.
 
I think the cops are probably right: it was someone you know and someone who knew what they were looking for.
 
Sorry that it happened. My Son came home Friday night from college and someone stole his GPS, sunglasses and a balisong trainer out of his front seat while his car was sitting in my driveway. Luckily he'd brought in his phone and laptop. He thinks he may have left his car unlocked but someone definately came into the driveway while we were home and took the stuff. In fact, I was happily snoring away in my recliner watching tv until 2:30 so whoever it was had to have seen me because we have a window into the living room right next to the driveway.

The cop was nice and said that he hadn't heard of a rash of these but also said probably nothing would be found. Its not enough to submit for an insurance claim but still makes me mad.

Dave is so right! The more important thing is you are rebuilding your marriage and the perishable things (although I too did get a little mad) can be replaced which you have started to do. If you can afford it, I recommend a home alarm system and new friends. I'll be first in line as a new friend:thumbup:.
 
very sorry to hear about your things being taken, but like you said, at least no one was hurt and things are looking up in your marriage. things can be replaced, but your health and loved ones cannot (i know, i'm sure some of them were unique, but you know what i mean...)
 
Glad things are lookin' up at home. Its gotta be someone who knows those khuks etc...keep your antennas up and your heart open...God Bless---Mark
