Yesterday at 12:30pm, I was out working at my job, I get this strange text message from my sister. It said
"Hey. Someone broke in the house. Ur playstation is gone"
So I call up home and they tell me the story. The window is broken in and my room has a lock, and the door was kicked in. I got home about 30 minutes later, the police officer, who was very cool and admired my PC gaming setup, was still at my house dusting for prints.
I looked through everything and found out I was indeed missing my PS3, one of my DualShock3 controllers, my official PS3 bluetooth earpiece headset, and 200 dollars cash I had stashed in my drawer. Retail valued over 700 dollars, all bought brand new. I went to Sony's website and changed my password and removed my credit card billing information from the PS3 right away. I found the original receipt of the PS3 that I bought at Best Buy in May 2008. It had the serial number on it. I gave that to the police officer to help him track my stolen property down.
I asked some neighbors if they saw anyone and someone saw 2 black guys hanging out in front of my house that morning before everyone had left the house empty for an hour and a half. We believe they were either waiting for everyone to leave or they just took the opportunity. Anyway, the neighbor reocgnized one of them and gave us a name, we gave that to the Police. the name is "Shakespeare Jasmine"
The only relief is that the robbers didn't break any random stuff or touch my gaming PC, which I have poured thousands of dollars and many hours building. The only things broken was the window and the kicked in locked doors. And when they snatched the PS3, they took the time to collect its power cord, but they left the HDMI cable here.
I called Brinks home security and they are coming out this morning to activate my alarm system on the house. We've been here for 2 and a half years without incident, but I don't feel safe anymore. I already had to board up the broken window and patch up the broken fence in the backyard, which is how they got access to the back window.
