To the one who broke into my house… you’re a real son-of-a-bitch! Not only do you take off with my father’s work equipment, but the brand new iPod he got me for Christmas, too. I’m really glad my dog eventually woke up (yeah, my rottie) and heard you. I mean, she must’ve when you were coming upstairs, because stuff was thrown all over the place and you couldn’t close the door properly. She was pretty furious when we got home. You’re just lucky she didn’t you hear you quietly coming in through the basement bedroom or she would’ve fucked you up. You really ruined my father’s day. Sure, I’m pretty unhappy that I’m not going to get an iPod on Christmas day, but you just really really pissed him off…
On the bright side, you didn’t get a chance to steal anything else BECAUSE MY MOTHERFUCKING DOG WOULD’VE RIPPED YOUR FACE OFF! I hope you get caught. Scum. —No iPod for Christmas

What a colossal drag.
In a world where people steal from poppy boxes or from the Late Pat Burns’ car, it’s pretty disheartening to know that there is no limit to what bottom-feeding thieves will do.
Never mind what your ROTTIE would have done as the fat bitch was hiding from the noise and acting all macho when you came home. BTW, did rottie provide a description of the perp? While your dog didn’t get to rip anyones face off,,,the perp did manage to rip you off….doggity dog. (But seriously, sorry your house was burglarized.)
OP, obviously you had the doors and windows locked, right?
Congrats on almost getting a new iPod for Christmas. You should adopt Brindie….if she’s still alive. plus a home security system would be nice, and it cuts down on your house insurance.
While I’m sorry that you got burgled, OP, your whole “my dog will rip your face off” rant reminds me of this douchebag kid where I grew up who liked to talk shit but never actually did anything. Coincidentally enough, he also had a rottweiler and was always talking about how it would fuck people up, etc. I guess I’m not really going anywhere with this. Oh well. *shrug*
i thinks you should get a little ankle biter dog, that way, way burgler screams, your big lazy fucking mutt can scare the dude away and get all the credit.
I have 3 friends that have all had break ins in the last week…from My Uniacke to Halifax. All of them had music gear stolen…pretty expensive guitars and such.
Makes me wonder if people know who they’re targeting and trying to get certain, easily fenced stuff.
If your Dad’s work equipment is indentifiable in any way check Craigs list, Kijiji, and pawn shops and put the word out in places that might buy the equipment.
From all indications the police won’t be much help and will probably just tell you that there’s little hope of getting it back so you’ll have to do some work if you want it.
sucky situation OP.
Guitars have been getting stolen the past couple years. One of my friends had two of hers taken. Heard its crackheads because some dealers are accepting instruments. And OP, the Halifax police would probably arrest you and your dog because they don’t believe in self defense, well at least not for us lowly peasants.
You can defend yourself with equal force.
Ideally yes. In practice this is not always true.
Although I feel bad for what’s happened to you, I had a laugh picturing your big tough rottie waking up part-way through the robbery…I’m picturing a big, lazy softie and not the “motherfucking dog who would’ve ripped your face off!” Your rottie was probably just saving face to you and that’s why she seemed furious later…either that or she was genuinely furious…at having been woken ;-P Dogs have such a powerful sense of hearing, unless your rottie needs a hearing aid I don’t get how she couldn’t have heard something like that even if it was way down in the basement. But don’t be offended; mine was the same!
