I got robbed!!!!
So this morning I got in to work to find that some scumbag broke into my business. Thankfully they didn't steal anything, but still it was a violation.
Note: this isn't my premises, I cant release my footage yet
I have the CCTV footage, we are in an industrial estate. The car came up at about 1145pm and dropped off the guy. He stalked down hugging the opposite wall (not sure if he knew there were cameras there) then had a look at the front door. He then went around the side of the building where there is a sliding door and is covered by bushes. He proceeded to put a bar through the door and pushed his way inside. he rummaged through the front reception desk (we don't have a receptionist so it was empty), then looked out into the lunchroom and warehouse.
The odd thing is they passed up the Sat Phone and Ipad sitting there.
They were in and out in about 1minute. When the police came and looked through the video the young constable mentioned that he knew who he was, he's a local who does a fair few break ins. But what annoys me is that if he was known, why is he still out there doing it!!!!
This really proves the point that Queensland is so weak on crime. There is no fear of retribution or punishment. This has just put me in an incredibly bad mood plus I'm out of pocket a few hundred dollars and lost productive time.
Hope you all have a better day than me, and hope you all spring into action next time this state goes to the polls to get rid of this useless government.
That sucks :(
Sounds kind of like Flint here in the US. Someone cut a hole out of our fence and tried to steal a car from our parking lot. When we called the police the next morning, they didn't even show up.
thats crazy. Crims aren't scared of the law.
I can feel your annoyance at the law knowing this guy. He still broke your door. Repeat offenders need to be locked up. Pretty simple.
I had a car destroyed by a police chase. I talked to the cops involved and they knew the guy and where he lived, essentially chased him for fun. No money from the cops in replacing my car.
Really sorry to hear about this mate. I hope they get the bastard.
Good to hear about these incidents; maybe it will help others.
It feels like a real violation but nobody got hurt I guess is the upside..

That really sucks!!! At least you have the CCTV. Hope the rest of your week gets better.
PS: I upvoted... it's only worth a cent, so won't cure your woes, but hopefully the positive intent will make you feel just a little better :D
Thank you :) i appreciate it.!!!!
Are you threatening me!?
Sorry that happened. Idiot criminal not to take the ipad (I am glad they didn't, just saying)
Shit like this is happening everywhere. On my most recent 10km run all around my neighborhood and a neighboring one i noticed a lot more residential surveillance cams and i live in a "safe " area. Cant be too careful these days. The days of mayberry are long since past sadly. Glad you're okay though
Thanks Chelsea. The cops told me that crims wont touch Ipads, iphones etc because of the Find My Phone feature. A lot of crims get caught that way.
I started thinking that about 5 minutes after I wrote my response
I live in a "safe" area too, but there are more and more reports of people stealing mail looking for checks and stealing packages. I'd love to get a nice security camera system. It would be nice security and I could totally bust the kids when they have people over.
Yeah, i know right? You'd think the modern day thief would be smarter with most everyone having surveillance systems these days. Ha, good idea on the kids too lol
sorry that happened dude
Sorry that happened. I'm glad it wasn't a more severe situation. You're alive, and you'll over come this. Stay positive.
thanks mate :)
