ROBBED, and ****** off at world!!

ok, I just had to vent, went to go open up this morning only to find the front door smashed in, glass everywhere and a crap load of destruction... for what... 15 bottles of lotion and some coffee change.... so after a few hours of fuming... and of course cleaning... I could do nothing else but laugh...

theives are stupid!!! it appears that they must of worked on the lock for hours with a screwdriver and a pair of vice grips... when that did not work, they tried to remove the glass
from door casing... when that failed... what the ****... smash the window to get at the spoils... but here is the funny part.... they dont take the real expensive lotion... they take
the pretty crap... like fiji... pretty bottle must mean its good and expensive.... they dont take
the computer, but they take the cash drawer??? wait it gets better, not only was the cash drawer open, key inserted, instead of just removing the cash... they take the hole drawer and when they get hung up on wireing to the printer... they cut it... its at this point... I wish they would of just taken the cash... **** I would of given it too them... if they would of just of not come in the place....

so to tally:
15 bottles of lotion, $350
1 front door glass, $450
1 new front door lock and locking plates, $224
4 new front door mouldings, $100
1 new Cash drawer.... dont know yet still looking for one, will accept donations :)
1 cash float in the drawer... $100
3 hours of Police paperwork.... cant pay me enough
1 hour fighting with insurance company.... useless twits
1 24 hour security guard in the mall.... sleeping
1 alarm system... obviously more of an attraction than a deterent... (they took my motion sensors)

Seeing the owner of the above establishment ranting and raving the entire day... PRICELESS!!

Re: ROBBED, and ****** off at world!!

So sorry. I would sue your security guy, what a dumb ***, sleep when your off the clock! Is your deductible worth filing with the insurance? Probably. I would seriously have your lawyer draft a letter to the security company and at least get them to cover your deductible. MORONS! Can you prove he was sleeping or did he admit it?

I know how much it sucks, done twice to us. The alarm company calls, but by the time the police show up, they don't care. Sorry it happened to you.

Re: ROBBED, and ****** off at world!!

sad thing is you don't want them to get caught.... then they take up your time to go to court. you'll have to get help / staff at the salon etc and the cop or criminal won't show so they'll schedule another day for you to do the same thing again!

Re: ROBBED, and ****** off at world!!

well thanks guys, alarm company response time is pathetic, they will spend 10 minutes calling you before they call the police, so alarms systems do not deter would be theives anymore... they know its on the bottom of the list for police to deal with, and unless he is
down the block... they never make it in time.....

as for insurance, sure deductible is low, but a doubling of my premiums makes it not worth it, so I decided to get those expandgates... like window bars that fold up... $1000 installed and well, its visual and secure... thought is a would be theive, could mess with the lock, and they could even break the glass... but then they have to deal with the steel gate.... why go through all the trouble when the neighboring stores without it would be easier target.
I dont care in the end about the lotion or the cash.... but the replacement of damaged property proved to be more expensive than anything else.

PS.... I have requested the security guards logs, and especially since I found out in the same mall, just in the last month, the hair salon, the liquor store, the subway got the same smash and grab... subway got hit twice, in 2 weeks.... so I think I may be a repeat target.
