burglared again

[rrraven]

I just found out that some one has broken into the shed and destroyed the two gyrocopters of my partner and my son
this is not the first time either last year some one came into the farm house and slashed all the airbeds and piled all my books into a heap as if ready for burning
I must have enemies I dont even know about this is so frustrating

what can I do ???
partner called the cops but they did not show up, not really interested i suppose

Sorry to hear that this situation has happen rrraven. The act seeems very malicious, almost juvenile.

Have you perhaps thought about getting a guard dog, a very big one, as a sentry?
They can be a great first line of defence, providing a audible sound of intruder's, as well as a powerfull visual presence.

Sounds like they may return some time in the future.

Be safe.

Thanks c.a. but its not that simple

the gyro hangar is on the other side of the property 420ac in the bush 15km from next village and neighbours the whole point of moving so far from civilisation was so I would not have to lock my house/sheds ...this is not random someone is targeting me and my family
I feel tempted to put a nasty curse on the perps

 

[eleusis]

Ahhh man, that stinks. Sorry to hear about that rrraven. Maybe they'll get stung by a scorpion the next time the dastardly cowards show up.

;) Perhaps land mines would work. No, just kidding. What about a remote alarm setup with hidden video camera?

That might be a good idea, Rraven.
Also, you might find out whether people are deliberately targeting you or whether it is done, because they can.
And lock up. Times are changing. I also live in the country, although you would not probably call it that way. I can still see my neighbours. But I know that people do not lock up or they still leave their valuable stuff in their gardens. But I heard the other day that it is not possible to do so anymore. Good garden furniture was stolen where people had left it.

I have lived a greater part of my life in a city, so I do not know the country life very well. But as an outsider coming in I know that the culture is so different. And a lot of things are going on in the country, as there is less control, in particular if you live in a secluded area.
We had to leave once, since we were targeted. Also, I did not know how to deal with it. I was a lot more unstable at the time.
Things were stolen, my kids were bullied (well, at least they tried to bully them), we were harassed, somebody threatened to kill me once, etc. etc.

Find out who is doing this to your property. Do you have animals? Be careful. My neighbour lost two of his cats at around the same time we were burglared.

My experience is that it is better that you take full responsibility for this, instead of calling the police. They are useless most of the time, OSIT.

Sounds like some wishful thinking is going on here....why in the world would you think moving in the middle of nowhere means you can leave things unlocked? Times being what they are, wouldn't it be more responsible to lock things up, get a big dog, and make it harder for thieves to steal from you? They tend to be lazy and only target people who are vulnerable.

I've lived in the country most of my life, and moved back out of the city these last few years, and I've never thought once that it was okay to leave my house unlocked, just because we have a dog. (And he's a big Chow-Lab dog, a hundred pounds of love, but strangers don't see that side of him.)

We also have a camera up on a pole in the driveway to record any car that comes down our drive, as its not easy to see. This has kept us from being robbed numerous times, even when our neighbors up the road were robbed in broad daylight of everything they had. The camera was cheap. We use a Linux program called Zone minder for ours.

So....what's going on here, really? Being robbed once is bad luck, twice is an agenda....

 

[rrraven]

maybe I should have said vandalized again not burglared and in both cases no valuabe items were stolen...generator,brushcutter,bike untouched
thing were destroyed on site...thats the weird thing and what both have in common

and the place is on a road to nowhere with zero trafic ,it is not random,you have to know someone lives there to find it...

hmm full responsibility,yes ,I thought I must have karmicly deserved it, but then i thought ,no ,I will not take this on ,this is not MY karma, its the owners of the gyros who have made enemies not me I am taking this too personal and am thinking too emotional...

yes a cctv system hmm yeah again what I wanted to get away from and went bush 30 years ago but yes it has come to this

Could it have been done by an animal ?

I tend to agree with Gimpy here. I would also take it as a sign that you need to lock things down as much as possible. I don't think that's being paranoid or weird, it's just practical in this day and age no matter where you live.

I recall when I was little my Grandpa owned a patch of land about twenty miles from where he lived. On it he had constructed a pond stocked with various kinds of fish. Every time we'd go there we'd see signs of poachers. Usually they would only take the fish, but occasionally there would be other items missing. Plus, picking up their beer cans was always a great chore. I guess my point here is that it's hard to control something when you're such a distance from it. Do you have any friendly neighbors in the area that you trust? Maybe you can have them help you find out whoever is doing this?

I'm not that familiar with gyros - I guess they're not that common around here. What all do you use them for? Just recreation? How essential are they? Could you possibly sell them?

 

[rrraven]

Gandalf no animals don't break padlocks(the hangar was padlocked already just no cameras) or use axes axe marks in radiator

Ryan no the gyros are not essential or common even here, they were a hobby the boys took up...cheapest and safest form of aviation like a cross between a motorbike and a helicopter all home built but they have not flown for years
and the instruments that got smashed were fairly new and the most valuable parts on them so there is not much left on them to sell

I have not locked a car at home in 30 years...the car key stay in the ignition so they dont get lost or one has to look for them if someone wants to take a car from here surely they are in a dire need for one and I gladly give it

I dunno, that just seems downright foolish to me. It's nice to think that people would never steal, or to think that living out in the "wilderness" means nobody will bother your stuff, but come on, look at the world around you today. Stealing a car doesn't mean somebody is in "dire need," they do it for "fun" these days...

Well, I always thought of karma as an objective law (the law of consequence) and as such it simply is what it is, a mathematical law. But when you say that you "deserved" it or that it's "not my karma" then I think your internally considering your reactions regarding whatever subjective interpretations you may have of what you think 'karma' is. In other words you may be reacting to, and internally considering a thought, a thought of what you think karma is which stands in between you and your seeing of it for what it really is. If anything I always thought of karma as something we might 'see' in an instantaneous flash of insight (and not so much something we think about) and how any specific event in our lives may be seen to fit within the overall context of other events.

Possibly this might be a wake up call to be more aware in everything you do. The awareness will help to protect you in ways that I think we cannot really fully understand. But this might be a kind of warning to be more aware (and maintaining that awareness) of what's going on around you which includes the practical things such as, for example, the CCTV system and things like that. Also, you might want to ask your neighbors if they had any similar kinds of incidents.

The nature and timing of the vandalism suggests the act is rooted in resentment, envy, or bitterness over perceived slight or harm. I think you can discover the perpetrator by examining the relationships of you, your partner, and son with acquaintances in the area. Who would wish to disturb your peace of mind in such a cowardly manner? The repetition suggests a deeper pathology motivating the vandal or vandals, than say teenage boys on a drunken spree. I hope you solve this intrusion, as I know how disturbing a violation of one's home or person can be.

Take care, rraven.

 

[eternusphoenix]

I know how traumatizing this can be and I hope that you find an appropriate solution to remedy this situation.

I wish you the best of luck Rraven.
