Lame!!
So I’m attending an anti-racist rally on Friday like a good Aussie with one of my house mates when another one of my housemates call.
He’s just got home to find the back door has been kicked in and the house has been ransacked but nothing seems to be missing.
So I return home rather quickly and sure enough everything seems to be there. First thing I check is my computer – the one thing I could never do without and with some seriously important stuff on there. It’s still there, along with some pretty hot-shit stereo equipment (if I may say so myself).
Then it dawns on me. There was about $800 sitting on my mantle piece. Sure aint there anymore. And what was next to it? My digital camera. Not there anymore.
So in total they too from the house:
- $800 from my room
- My digital camera
- A housemate’s change jar – about $300
- $200 from the Australian Centre of Democracy and Justice’s money box (still hadn’t banked from the last forum we ran and had received a few memberships and sold a T-Shirt)
- $70 from another housemate
- A non-house mate’s mobile phone that they had left there
Fucken lame!!!
Now I’m a humanitarian as many of you will know. I oppose capital punishment. But I am coming ’round to corporal punishment and reckon Iran is onto something with the whole cutting off thieves hands.
In good news though, I’ve put a countdown timer on the right there so you can see how long it is until the next 4th July Hot Dog eating competition.
There is no...

Dude. That sucks more than 20 sucky things sucking together on a McDonald’s thickshake at the same time.
I can thoroughly recommend vigilante justice – when my laptop and rather distinctive but not unique bag got nicked I found myself wanting to run down anyone wearing the same bag and rip it off their thieving shoulders.
Alas, at the time I was riding a 50cc scoot (not the 110ccs of raw 2-stroke sex I straddle daily now) and would have come off worse for wear. You would have been ok if on your motorbike but not sure how your bike would go with this tactic either?

You’re riding a two stroke! You really need to consult me before making these purchases!
In the mean time I propose that you and I start our own vigilante group, armed with machetes to cut the hands off all thieves – or at lease the prick that stole your laptop and my money!

bugger… I wish them a life filled with the pain of a thousand deaths.
(At least your computer was OK… I saw Theo that arvo anf he told me about this, and how much it would have sucked for it to be stolen also.)
REPLY))
Theo mentioned he’s seen you. If my computer had been pinched it would have been so much worse.
…which reminds me that I should really back my shit up.

Really shitty to hear about the theft: thieves must be lynched. Hope you get loads back on insurance.
On a side note, i tagged you for this weird meme. Might cheer you up? Maybe …?

Not sure a man who currently rides a no-stroke bicycle is in much position to comment!
And yes – fully back your shit up. It sucks when it goes awol. Only lost a week’s work when mine got nicked but it was still a serious pain in the arse.
Let me know when you’re on for some vigilante-style justice (or a beer) – must be my shout.
REPLY))
A beer would be great – perhaps early next year, and perhaps organised outside of the comments feature of this blog (I know – it’s just this thing I have)
