Really? Would you care to explain to the class the philosophical difference between stealing action figures from someone's home and stealing action figures from a store? Oh, and you're saying if someone admitted to stealing things out of your house and did not return them that you would just let it go and not call the police to retrieve your goods? Seems pretty stupid to me but, if you have the money to waste on replacing these things then more power to you.

I could not believe they discharged a firearm in a residential area for a raccoon, a sick one at that. I asked the cops about it and they told me that a lady on the next street over called them because the deer were eating her flowers. I'm not sure if they apprehended the guilty deer or if they just shot it.
Oh and I've seen the police called out for some seemingly stupid things as well. I mean, if they can knock on people's doors at 11 o'clock at night asking if we have seen our neighbors dog then they damn well better show up to investigate a theft from my house lol... |

Earlier this morning I hosted a meeting for My Club for some new members and several regular members and 6 MOC figures were stolen right off my walls (It's my own fault, it was bound to happen). My Para viper, Eels, blue Firefly, my single carded torch and ripper from the same wave as blue firefly, and my only 25th Viper GONE! I am Super Pissed, (I've never had Joes taken from my home before and the thought of members of my club doing this really hurts......I'm both hurt and ticked.....(Sorry guys I just needed to vent)!

I remember when I was in grade school, I took a Fang, Firefly and my cobra trooper in for show and tell. At my school at that time there was a large community closet for the class and nothing could be locked up. After Show and tell some body went into the closet and took them all from my book bag. I demanded that the teacher search the bags and desks, but she refused, instead the bleeding heart moron stood in front of the class and asked very nicely that who ever had taken my things please return them. You don't even have to guess how that ended. The little @^#$!&* puke got away with it. The worse part is that I was one of those kids who lived on the edge of a rich town full of doctors, lawyers and engineers who made the kind of money to spoil thier yuppie larvae and still they feel the need to steal from some kid who considered that hand full of toys a "Big" Christmas present.
It is for that very reason that I have a lock on my Joe room and nobody is allowed in there with out me being there. You cannot trust anybody. It doens't mater what a person can afford. If they can take it... They will. Fortunately for you there is e-bay and you can replace that stuff. Granted it's the principal of the matter that has us all PO'd. Which is why I hope that somebody finds this person and renders their fingers... inoperative, and unable to steal from anybody again.

One thing you should consider, who ever stole those Items from you probably won't come back to another meeting.

I wanted to let everyone know that On Sunday during our Dio Contest that I did find our who took my figures, the member in question has been dismissed from my club and I've had to make my forum private because of the matter ( The jerk had actually bragged to a few people who were friends of mine that he took my stuff).
I want to thank everyone here on the tank for allowing me to vent, and while I didn't get my figures back from the jerk, I have ordered new ones online, but at least I've learned a lesson in this, and I now have new rules to keep this kind of thing from ever happening again. Anyway, these things happen...and it prepares you for the next time.

I can't believe he bragged....what the hell??? I'm just curious, why he doesn't own up and return them when others can vouch that he took them. Unless, he's someone that no one wants to cross and are keeping mum.
