Robbed
Posted on October 5, 2006 | Filed Under Family, Rants, Drama
My parents’ house in suburban Victoria was robbed today. As they ransacked my parents’ bedroom they managed to find the small safe in the bottom of the closet and decided it was the paydirt. Somehow thieves carried the safe out of the front door of the house, pockets full of jewellery from my mom’s dresser and nobody noticed anything. Not the neighbor beside them who was home. Not the neighbor on the other side of them that was working in her front lawn. And not the neighbor across the street from them who was ALSO gardening in her front lawn.
How do you not notice people carrying a safe out someone’s house?
GRRRR!
My wedding band which matches my engagement ring was in the safe. Along with all my grandmother’s diamonds. Huge ones. And my great-grandmother’s ring too.
Sucks that the list my grandmother wrote up before she passed away with a decription and sizes of each diamond ring/piece of jewellery was in the safe as well.
My parents are OK and their kitten didnt run away, even with the front door being open all day. And for some reason, the camera, cell phone, jewellery in the bathroom and the TV and electronic equipment is all fine.
My mom tells me that the police didnt bother to fingerprint anything because “these people always wear gloves” That made me really mad. How can you just assume that without even LOOKING for fingerprints? That does not sound like good police work. I watch CSI!
Word of warning: The piece of wood in the window sill to lock the window DOES NOT WORK.

Laura that’s awful!!! So many valuables! Maybe the stuff will turn up in a pawn shop?? So sorry to hear bout this.
Wow, that’s horrible! I’m glad everyone’s ok, and hopefully some or all of the items will be recovered.
Well, so far no word from the police. Thankfully we will be able to get my wedding band re-made easily it turns out. Its the heirlooms that cant really be replaced. Maybe they will turn up.
