My commiserations mayordenis. I imagine your'e well pissed off right now. I presume you;ve called the gardaí and reported it?

Defenestrate · 05-05-2008 12:25AM

I blame the travellers and/or Roma Gypsies.

Dudess · 05-05-2008 12:25AM

Oh that is a pain in the butt. Where in Cork is the apartment? Just the general area. (I'm being nosey in case it's where mine is).

God, Sxxxx heads!!! what make is laptop!! did u report to Guards?? horrible thing, happened to me twice while living in Spain!! Horrible!!

Abi · 05-05-2008 12:32AM

Sorry to hear it MD.

/dons detective hat

Have you checked around to see how they broke in exactly?

Windows, doors etc. If there is nothing obvious, Id look into the fact that an ex-tenant still had a key. You are only there a very short time..

Ruu_Old · 05-05-2008 12:35AM

Did you have any sort of insurance? Sorry to hear the bad news.

ronnie3585 · 05-05-2008 12:35AM

Hanging is too good for those scumbags:mad:

swingking · 05-05-2008 12:38AM

sorry to hear that man

mayordenis · 05-05-2008 12:39AM

no insurance just moved in like,
no signs of being broken into,
garda are there now(i'm not),
i know no-one is going to see this item but it's a really rare-ish game in europe at the moment is the ps3 version of Rock band at the moment.

Defenestrate · 05-05-2008 12:39AM

On a serious note, did you register the laptop online? The Guards might be able to trace it's number.

Please tell me you have/have planned to change the locks so that previous tenants with spare keys don't have the option of returning for a laugh......boy?

ShellBell1 · 05-05-2008 12:45AM

Sorry 2 hear of your predicament mayordenis. Were you out when it happened? Would it be possible that someone may have been watching your movements, letting them know when was best to strike?

Yeah, I wouldn't trust those Gypsy-type Romanians - I've heard bad stories about them. Stealing from charity shops, biting into the arm of an employee.. They'd steal yourself!

Dunno where your apt is mayordenis, but those Romanians all seem to congregate around Nth Main St and most of them live in either the Shandon area or Blackpool. Of course, we can't verify it was them..

If there's ccTV around the apt, that should allow the Guards 2 identify who may have nicked your stuff.

Anyway, I can only imagine how disappointed you are right now. It's awful when boundaries are breached like that - not to mention valuable possessions being taken. Wanker(s)!! :mad:

They even took rockband!?! Disc or the guitar and stuff?

Thats horrible. Never been broken into but a lad work had it happen to him recently while he was sleeping.

Are you really a mayor?

the worst part is i am . . . my house it city hall.

pretty much a city centre area, upper john st. or some such.

Oh yeah, the caretaker in Cork City Hall lived on the top floor with his family. Didn't know any of his kids but I know a girl who hung out with his daughter, she said it was the coolest place ever to visit! And they could get into concerts etc for free. Class!

Upper John Street - exceptionally dodgy. My mate lives there and her car has been broken into numerous times. Any time I call to her (which is usually a Saturday evening before heading out) the place is teeming with scumbags. I would not walk down that street alone at night.

Indeed we can't, so why the suggestion? Also, they are Roma gypsies. And they hail from various parts of Europe, not just Romania.

stevecrow74 · 05-05-2008 01:03AM

its not good to get broken into.. happened twice where i live now, if you are renting get the landlord to install an alarm (it is in there interest to do so) change locks to all accessible doors, get keys to all the rooms and lock them when you leave (pain in the hole, but it stops them entering individual rooms, i.e. if they break into a bedroom window, they are locked into that room and cant access any other room)

if you can get a dummy security camera and attach it to the front of the house or near the main entrance to the building is, dont get one with a flashing led (no real security cameras have flashing led's)

make a note of serial numbers of all expensive appliances..

you always hear about break ins, but you can never prepare for it when it happens to you.
third time victim to break ins and twice in the current house i live in :mad:

hope the fe-ckers get caught soon:eek: hung drawn and quartered is too good for them too

thats not even funny

as said before, the apartment should have cctv footage

were the doors kicked in or a window broken, a friend of mines apartment got broken into and there was no sign of forced entry, the cops said it was probably an old tenent with a spare key

FYI, I never actually suggested that it was that ethnic minority who were responsible 4 breaking into mayordenis' place.

I was merely speaking about their notoriety that has been related to me, and the reasons for that notoriety. How the hell should I know whether they break into people's apartments?? But, like a lot of things, anything is possible. I can only speculate like the next person, but I never directly lay the blame at the gypsies' door.

I didn't know they came from different parts of Europe. The word "Romanians" tends to be an umbrella word that those who dealt with their crap had used in speech to me. I never claimed to be an expert on each and every one's origins, but the negative incidents involving them of which I was told are all true anyway.

As for the culprit in mayordenis' case.. I have no idea. That's one for the cops to figure out.

Well they're wrong. And ignorant. Romanian people must get so pissed off. It would be like Irish people in the UK being tarred with the same brush as any Irish travellers causing problems over there. Except worse, because at least Irish travellers are, well, Irish. Roma gypsies come from various countries in Eastern Europe and into Eurasia.

according to the discovery channel wild boars are known to brake into homes,
i'm suspicious.

OoSKYLINEoO · 05-05-2008 01:25AM

No signs of break in? Hope the landlord isn't the shady type...
