OMG!!! Someone stole over $1k worth of equipment this morning!

I hope they get caught and charged. I wouldn't want them to get shot, but I do want them to have to pay the consequences.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I pray you get your stuff back. They will get what is coming to them. A long time ago when my husband was about 12 or so someone stole his Mom's purse as they were walking home. They knew the teenager that did it but couldn't stop him. well 3 weeks later the thief was trying to rob a gas station and the owner shot him in the head and he died instantly.

Yes I agree. I thought that was sad ending for such a young person. I definitely don't want anyone to die. My husband's brother was murdered by his wife so I totally understand. I just wish people would not do bad things.

WOW!
In no way shape or form do I think that a human life is worth taking for a robbery. A teen especially. Many teenagers have done some really stupid things and then changed their lives around and made a difference in society. Some have even gone on to help change other peoples lives by their story. I sure hope you find it in your heart someday to not wish such things on people because having such a hateful attitude will cause much hardship in your life.

OP, I'm so sorry to hear that you are having to go through this. Starting a new company is hard enough in itself.
Please keep us up on what's happening & I pray that they find your equipment & the person(s) that did this.

I don't think Shellyf is really having a hateful death wish against people. I just think she was talking about Karma and "If you play with fire, you're going to get burned."

That is what I was thinking, too.

Good luck with that. When my sisters house got broken into, the pawn shop here told her they would not check to see if they got anything that was stolen. They told her to come back in 30 days, see if it was on display for sale, and buy it back from them. . . and the police also told her that was protocol. Our city sucks though... police probably don't even know the protocol.

Isn't there a law against that? Ya know, the one about accepting stolen property or dealing in stolen goods? I thought that one was pretty much across the board nationwide.

Sure is, but it's not as easy as you think. First of all, the pawn shop doesn't know they're receiving stolen property. It's not like the robbers walk in there and say, "Hey, I just stole this computer and want to pawn it." Secondly, how can you prove that the items in their store are yours if you don't have it marked and documented somehow?

I know a rope wouldn't be easy to mark but could the other equipment be marked with a serial number or initials of your business so that the equipment could easily be identified as yours if found?
