Getting robbed sucks, not so much the possessions but the emotional scar. My jeep was actually broken into during Startup Weekend last year. I was pretty pissed. Hope your roommate feels safer at his new place.

I just had my Sony amp, subwoofers, a pair of 6×9’s stolen out of my pathfinder while it was parked in the garage across from the street while I was parked last week. They also grabbed my iPod (5g). The Atlanta cops did a lot more than the on-the-scene officer here in Chattanooga, probably still just as likely to catch them though.

It sucks too. Homeowner’s insurance (or renter’s insurance in your case) will cover your event. Thankfully, everything that was screwed down will be covered by my auto insurance (which means most likely everything except the iPod will be reimbursed).

Wow, that sucks. With all of the crime you mention at the end of your post, sounds like a place I wouldn’t even think about living without having some serious security in place.

I hope the police catch the scum who did this!

Sorry to hear about this, but thankfully no one was hurt.

If the CSI folks did manage to collect some usable DNA samples there’s a very high chance these people will be caught soon I think.

That Glock is probably not a bad idea after all.

That sucks, man. Sorry to hear it. Where are you moving to? I live in midtown right by tech square and even in this nice area, there are still muggings, break-ins and theft. I forgot how sketchy Atlanta is.

Sorry it sucks .. I know the feeling and was robbed even though I had an 85 lb German Shepherd in the house. It gives you this unsettled feeling in your own house that takes time to go away.

That sucks man. I guess I feel lucky that the crime rate here in Portland is not that bad. I am glad that no one got hurt and not much damage was done in terms of stuff being stolen.

Robbery…aww….Lucky that you got through without many problems.

Kudos to Chris for throwing a few punches (though it could’ve endangered his life).

I’m also a Georgia Tech student. Could you let me know where you live? From the previous postings and pictures, it looks like you lived in 16th street. I’m very scared to hear this kind of bad thing. Hope everything would be okay.

Good luck man. Hope everything turns out okay following the move.

Hey Paul, I wanted to tell you that I am very sorry for what has happened to you and your roommates, too bad we weren’t around to get a few punches and kicks in as well. I wish you the best of luck and hope your friend recovers as quick as possible.

Take care my friend.
