Has someone or something stolen from you? Do you know who/what it was? Did it affect you? Do you care?

Doesn’t have to be serious.

    Growing up our house would get robbed often. I’d say yearly. Since I was interested in electronics they would always steal my stuff. I’d get a computer and it would get stolen. I’d get a playstation and it would get stolen. I’d get an air rifle and it would get stolen. I used to wish that they would take my sisters dollhouse or books just to even the score.

    The worst part was they would trash my room every time. They would break open my cupboards and draws throw my clothes on the floor. One time they stole my playstation and gba and smashed my TV. I didn’t even live in a bad area. I lived in the poor part of a nice area. My theory was that people would come from poorer suburbs and since we didn’t have a massive wall, gate and security system we got targeted.

      Counter craziness - have you ever thought it might be younger richer kids from your area? Cause my girlfriend got shit kicked all the time for being the “poorer” person in a stinkingly rich area. And I think some rich kids are outright psychos. Either way, it sounds fucked. Did you guys end up moving ever? Or like…getting a dog. Cause dogs get thieves to fuck off.

      *** Dogs got thieves to fuck off. Idk if they do anymore.

      **** p.p.s. - Knew one other person who’s ma (single parent) went from a nurse of some sort to a lawyer and they leveled up like crazy income-wise. But they were also targeted because of their social standing and their whole life fell apart. They are most def not doing well, even now.

        It did suck and we were to poor to replace the items but at the time it wasn’t to bad because I’d just go play outside or go to a friends house after school and play on their computer or playstation.

        It would be way worse today where everything is online. If someone took my computer away for a year it would heavily impact my social life.
