My ...I was burglarized twice within two weeks once. My computer was left behind, also...it was a beige-box Mac with few gigs of memory that about 8 years old at the time. The Zip drive got disconnected and stolen, though, and the disk I had in it (full of writing I could never replicate and stupidly hadn't backed up) vanished for good.<br /><br />I can tell you, my reaction when I found out what had been taken (including VCRs and cash) was not "Boo hoo, they didn't think my computer was good enough to steal, I better go out and buy a new one so they can break in a third time and steal that one too." No, it was more like "OMG, how am I supposed to feel safe in this apartment ever again, especially as a woman living alone?" I moved.<br /><br />This commercial is an insult to all of us who know what it's like to actually be burglarized...to have your stuff combed through by a stranger while you're gone, to lose things you care about, to be worried that at any time the stranger could get in again and this time, you might be home. It's disgusting and not at all funny, and if the idiots who wrote it had ever been burglarized, they'd know why.Morning Kvetchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212725744949084479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-18960054717222224362011-08-21T10:37:12.989-07:002011-08-21T10:37:12.989-07:00It's tasteless I was robbed last summer & ...It's tasteless I was robbed last summer & they stole all the jewelry my mom gave to me before she died.

Thank you, sir. <i>Thank you!</i><br /><br />My dear friend was robbed a few weeks ago and her first thought was if her dogs were okay. (they were scared and hiding in the smallest places they could get into, but they were fine). It was only when the police asked if anything was missing that she thought about her stuff. <br /><br />Her computer wasn't touched either, but that was because they wanted the plasma screen in the living room. (which they didn't get, because apparently, your typical smash-and-grab thieves don't know a plasma screen is a lot heavier than the LCD TV).Pahzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877861050356247528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-43096298570911684912011-03-29T19:26:27.725-07:002011-03-29T19:26:27.725-07:00"Hey, we got a new computer."
Not &quo..."Hey, we got a new computer." <br /><br />Not "I hope those thieves don't come back," or "I hope those thieves get caught."<br /><br />Priorities, I guess.1st Republic 14th Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527557395529372165noreply@blogger.com
