Just got a text from my other neighbor who saw it happen. I was literally outside and never even saw the van they pulled up in or them taking stuff from out of the house. She called the cops, like they’re going to do anything though the-pigs he hasn’t been home in about a year now. The house is under the supervision of a local mental health advocacy which I’m assuming my neighbor is living with. That’s if he’s even still alive.

    Chuds like to imagine their home being “invaded” because of the violence they would feel entitled to stretching forward and back in time.

    I like to imagine a very confused person surrounded by old books, a bunch of half done projects, obviously worthless tech… It would be fun to see someone try to rob me, it would be like a kind of game show, bizaro Price is Right. “What can I sell for drugs today?” if they think they need all those vintage zines and pamphlets more than me, maybe they do. I really.don’t know what gets tossed in the pillowcase.

      That’s generally the tjing. The weight vs retail value and risk fsctor from breaking into a private home is just not worth it. You could rob a pharmacy for equal legal risk. Unless you have a pretty good gues the hiuse has stuff worth taking inside, its usually not worth it. Most home burglaries and robberies are done by people who know what’s inside, drug dealers, rich relatives, etc

      Mugger Can’t Believe Crap Victim Has On MP3 Player

      cw: 2004-era homophobia

      Published: June 17, 2004

      BOSTON—Following the successful mugging of a jogger in Franklin Park, petty criminal Derek Mesker announced Monday that he cannot believe the shit he’s found on his victim’s Philips 20GB MP3 player. “3 Doors Down? Maroon 5!” Mesker said, scrolling through the songs. “The new Counting Crows?! Man, I’m glad I pistol-whipped that motherfuck.” Mesker added that the first thing he did was toss the device’s “gay-ass” teal neoprene case.

    The only things in my house worth taking are my laptop which resale is about $200, my keyboard, probably get $10-20 for that, mouse, and the 3 dollaridoos in my wallet. Oh yeah my tcg cards, probably worth like $70 in total.
