Stolen Laptop

[ctrld]

they came in through my window, snatched my macbook up, tried to get more so y'all better hide your comps, hide your controllers, and hide your software cuz they're stealin everything round here.

shit, I feel for you man. a lot of work you'll have to go through again. makes me happy I live on the 2nd floor... comin' in through the window ain't easy here. but as villinus said, an insurance makes sense in such cases. I have all my equipment covered against pretty much everything that could happen - it's not cheap, but really worth the money if something happens.

I'm so glad we don't have to deal with stuff like that here. In the States - to get into someones house to steal shit is a dumb thing to do, simply cause if you get into my house for example, I have the right to shoot you. Most of the people that live here as well do own a handgun.

I am an anti gun person, but sometimes i'm glad we have laws like these.

soooooooo.... what if you're not home?

soooooooo.... what if you're not home?

That's for the thief to worry about! If I am home, he could lose his arm, or leg, or possibly life. He'd actually be considered lucky if he ran into someone with a handgun, a lot of people tend to keep shotguns around the house too. :P

It's a gamble on the thieves part . Is making $1000 worth losing your life?

Yep, we got guns and stuff

I have been thinking about getting this for my MBP.

I've been thinking about getting the gun Chris displayed, they're on sale...

Its even scarier if you live where Photo (I guess his name is Chris!) lives. I believe if someone steps on your property in Texas, you automatically have the right to put a bullet in them.

And that is one epic gun!

you dont necessarily have the right to kill someone on your property. you have to make every attempt to alert them you have a weapon. you have to allow them to leave. if you feel your life is threatened, that is when you can actually retaliate.

i paraphrase poorly.

Armed Home Invasions happen all the time in the States, you must not live in a populated area.
