Break and Enter
During the day on Monday, someone broke into the apartments on the floor beneath mine. At noon, one of the tenants left to go do his shopping, and another tenant left with her two children for lunch.
About a half hour later, one of them returned to find three apartments with their doors removed. The deadbolts had been cut professionally and quickly, and the apartments had been effectively looted. Another apartment had been forced, but since the deadbolt wasn’t cut, the door was still intact.
The police say it looks like a “professional job”. Which just sucks.
Gned, Muppet and A.K. were visiting this day, and left (some would say ‘fled’) the country that evening. I’m not saying they did it, and I’m not saying they didn’t. They did fold their sheets before leaving, which is way up there on the nice scale, but can you ever really know someone?
I haven’t been locking my deadbolt for weeks now, including the three weeks I was in Canada. Do you think I’m an idiot, or given the circumstances — am I just protecting the door?
I hate burglers.

Holy Smokes!!!
Yikes! that is scary!
If there are things that you cherish in your apartment, I would suggest that you use the deadbolt. Who cares about the door really, but it a deadbolt is a deterrent for some at least…
Thieves suck ass!
They appear to have raised your ire, if the tone of your posts and comments today is any way to judge.
Hopefully they will be caught and castrated (really the only suitable punishment for thieves)
How the hell did they manage to break into three places and then get all the stuff out without anyone noticing?
I say castration for all French burglers!!
The only solution is to form into packs, pass out the torches, and wander the streets searching for these nefarious villians. If the King starts imprisoning your mob (for torch violations) you should storm the prison, I think the French word is “Bastille”, and overthrow that tyrannt!!
Or, probably your first thought was correct, Anita or the Loomers are responsible. In which case there is nothing to be done – they are beyond the sea.
Oh my gawds!!! That’s awful! And the police thought it was a professional job??? Well, duh! Three apartments cleaned out with their doors off? It’s not likely it was just an itenerant bum…
I’m taking you apartment shopping when I arrive.
Maybe it was something like the Bourne Identity…
