I feel like a f***ing idiot...

[Ode to Oda]

People wearing haz-mat suits came to my door, and told me to wait outside because they had to tear-gas out the stray dog in my attic. I have an dog in my attic so I believed them. 30 minutes later they walked out with "bags of animal carcasses," which I later find out to be my ps3, wii, dvd player, and a bunch of jewelry. Didn't think that robberies could be so planned, but now my parents are mad at me. Now I can only afford a 360 which really annoys me.

A dog in your attic, just staying there ? Sorry that's just bizarre to me. Well now you know, it's a pity that you learnt the lesson the hard way. I do feel sorry for you, no one deserves this. I hope you find them and get your belongings back.

 

[smithy_2045]

Well, at least you've hopefully learnt a lesson for the future. Don't trust anyone.

Wow, that was pretty well organized. sucks that it happened to you, but the only advice I can offer to you to take from this is this:

Anytime someone comes to your door that you have not specifically called, it doesn't matter if they are wearing hazmat or police blues, ask for ID, if they refuse to offer ID, they are frauds and you can tell them where to go and how fast to get there.

On a related note, I have heard of a ertain plumber in my home city who was charged with theft after he stole some belongings from a home he was working on after the owner left. Moral of the story, never let strangers into your house without monitoring them.

Is this serious?

I'm sorry, but it's really hilarious... this actually happened?

 

[manic_depressive13]

I'm guessing this is one of those "what the fuck are you talking about" posts they seem to like so much on 4chan.

Well played sir.

If it makes you feel better, I once got lost in a forest for 5 days and didn't eat anything even though I had a backpack which had food in it but it never occurred to me to look for food there because I didn't put any, my mum did -_-
And there was that other time I ran over myself with a motorcycle, I put my hand directly on the frying pan to see if it was hot (multiple times BTW), I still haven't mastered the art of walking (that means I trip over my own feet like every 4 steps), I've fallen of stairs so much that pain is only a really minor annoyance to me, I burned my own eye with oil while cooking, I have a scar over my left eye because I fell from my bed flat on my face and I can't drive a car because I keep getting distracted by clouds and butterflies.

Do you feel better now?

[sub]Yes that really is all true[/sub]

Well, if it really did happen, I'd say that it's not entirely your fault, they had a rather creative scheme going.

As for me, well... I got drunk beyond the stars and got lost in a forest. Which turned out to be a small patch of trees about 50 meters away from the party.

One time this scraggly looking guy with long greasy hair came to my door and explained he needed to confirm the diameter of my anus as there was apparently a disease going around causing enlargened anuses.

Naturally I let him have a go. He said I had nothing to worry about and that mine was nice and tight. I wouldn't know for sure though since he wouldn't let me see what he was doing.

Oh, sorry about that. I just have nothing to do in the day anymore since I lost my job as the wallet inspector. At least I have warms hands though, right?...

My friend bought a laptop from currys a few days ago. The list price was 350, she spent closer to 600 because the salesman did a pro con job on her. Shouldn't trust anyone.

Land blubber, ye quarrel be mighty fierce. What. The. Hell. Is this a film set? Does your family just hoard dogs in your attic? Have you called the cops yet? Will Janice ever find the father of her baby? Find out the answers to these questions, and more after the break.

seriously? This is one of those times where I feel it would be necessary to cue the Price is Right losing music. How could this actually happen? It's obvious that the robbers have known about your little dog smuggling operation. Thus, by extension must have been at least reliant to the family. Maybe they're relatives, or perhaps neighbours? That would be the most unsettling projection of this situation, knowing that someone in your life has stolen your assets, plundered yer booty, an' was cheatin', back-stabbin' their groggy mugs to be swabbin' the deck of yer own crew right from the start! The likes of them!

I should probably say something to make you feel better. Yes. You made an honest mistake. I am not clean of self-induced misfortunes either, mister! One day, long ago, in a far-away land (the bank) I had left my credit card in the machine. My account was still open. Suffice to say, I came back and $400 doubloons were gone. So, don't feel bad. Plenty of stupid people live on Earth that are just like us. Do some detective work, and maybe, luckily, you'll be on the receiving end of a "...And I would of had gotten away with it, if it weren't for those meddling kids!"-esqe speech. Good luck.

Just to add more content, if you're seriously such an idiot to let this happen, YOU DESERVE IT.

Whew, I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this. Though I'm guessing the OP is pretty young, so I'm wondering what the hell his parents were teaching him as far as how to treat strangers at the door. My parents taught me to not even answer the door and call them immediately if we weren't expecting anybody, and to sure as hell not let them in the door unless they were present or explicitly told me it was okay.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Assuming this actually happened, you shouldn't feel bad. Whoever those guys were, they EARNED that robbery.

...Wait, why the hell was there a stray dog in your attic in the first place? Is it possible that these guys actually let the dog into your house, WITHOUT actually robbing it despite obviously having easy access, just so that they could show up later and rob your house anyway?

Like I said, I think those guys EARNED their right to all your stuff.

And was the dog still there after they left?

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Documentation, bro. Also--why the balls do you have a stray dog in your attic? Also, point of reference, they wouldn't use tear gas on a dog. There'd be guys with collars on the end of sticks, and they'd take the dog away, to passively put it down out of sight. Sucks to be you, friend. Now you know better.

at least they were polite enough to ask as horrible as it sounds.

a kid came to my door and asked my brother why he wasn't at work yet.

He didn't even think it was suspicious and by the time he got into the shower they had cut down the gate to our car port and walked off with mine and my dads motorbike.

....

i feel your pain friend... some people are scum.
