I'm so mad I can't even think. My gun room was still secure and we thought nothing had been stolen, then later we discovered that our firebox with ALL of our important documents (DD214, birth certificates, deeds, irreplaceable photos, ALL of my original form 4s and form 1s for my NFA weapons, etc., etc., etc......) had been taken. It's a pretty heavy box (probably 60+ pounds) that I specifically left unlocked. I figured any would be thief would at least open something that heavy, and upon doing so would discover it contained nothing of value--- like cash, precious metals, weapons, etc. Nope. They fracking took it anyway. They walked right past cash in the open, jewelry, a PVS-14 in an otterbox on my dresser, electronics like ipads, etc.... They only took the one thing that wouldn't be of any real value to them, and would cUse the most mayhem for me. Aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Back up all of your important documents by scanning them and burning them onto DVD and have copies on multiple thumb drives in multiple locations. I had ALL of the stuff to do that, and said I was going to, but got lazy and kept putting it off. Now the joke's on me....:mad:
I guess for me the world really did end on paper. My life just disappeared.
Man that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.
It sounds like somebody came in after a specific item. Who have you pissed off lately?
This is where a large dog roaming the house comes in handy. I recommend a boxer. I haven't had my house broken into since I started letting mine have free roam of the house.
