So my wife called me last night at work, and low and behold, someone broke into our apartment yesterday. They took the laptop, her jewelry(it was mostly low value stuff, but they did get some Tiffany's bracelets & a necklace) and one of my watches. And those MOTHER F@CKING SONS OF BITCHES stole about 25 cigars out of my display humidor. Thank good we have renters insurance, but some of those gars I had been squirreling away for special occasions. The two most devastating losses as far as I am concerned are the Opus X Shark that my wife got me, as well as the Padilla 1932 Oscuro that I was saving for something special. They also got a bunch of Rocky, Nub, Ashton, Padilla, Excalibur and a sweet looking CAO MX2 Salomon that I was dying to smoke. They did leave me two Gruhka's, a Soprano & a Fuente Classic Maduro. I guess thieves don't even want Gruhkas.

Regardless of the insurance, it f-ing sucks for this to happen. It makes me sick to think of some buttbloat rifling through all of our stuff trying to decide what he wants to take. Thank good he didn't find my storage humidor in the guest bedroom with the Tats, LP's, Anjeo's and Opus. I was freaking out the entire ride home thinking that was gone because my wife said on the phone that he stole my cigars.

If anyone sees a shady looking dude in Chicago wearing womens jewelry and smoking an Opus X Shark, let me know.

Also, the **** took a Cain F 660. I really hope he is not used to cigars and smokes that on an empty stomach in the morning. Teach him a lesson to steal peoples chit.

File a police report and make a claim.

Thank God you're okay.

Stuff is stuff. Sucks, but put it in perspective.

"If anyone sees a shady looking dude in Chicago wearing womens jewelry and smoking an Opus X Shark, let me know."

LOL! Keep that sense of humor!

Sorry for your loss - I am always paranoid about someone breaking in and stealing my cigars - heck with the rest of the stuff which can be replaced much easier!

DrMaddVibe,

We filed the police report last night and I called Farmers and started the claim process right after that. We are still inventorying the losses, but you are right. Stuff is stuff and it can be replaced. Thank god my wife was not home when it happened.

c3s,

That is what I first thought. You can always go to Best Buy and get a computer or Tiffany's for jewelry, but how often can you get a Padilla 1932 Oscuro or an Opus X Shark? That is what really hurt. I am sooooooooo glad he didn't find my other stash of HTF gars, otherwise I would be in a much pissier mood.

The thieves are gonna just gonna split them smokes and make blunts out of them.

c.b - Sorry to hear about that. F'in asswipes that do that should have their hands removed...for starters.

So, I was wondering, why did they target YOUR apt and not, say, two doors down or something? Yours on the ground floor easy in/out?

It's a **** feeling being violated like that. I hope the cops catch the a'holes.

CB - I am off to a week of golf in northern Michigan, send me an email with your snailer, and on my return, I will replace the Padilla Oscura (it was the big figurado, right?). Will also check to see if I have another shark, but will at least include an Anejo.

agree w/ #7...atleast they'll have some good wrappers. 😕

That sucks.

sorry to hear you got ripped........

but look on the bright side:

CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS WON THE CUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE thieves!

My cabin just got broken into for the SIXTH TIME!

At least none of ya are drinking fu-fu drinks with blueberry vodka, flower petals and mashed up cacti.

Ya got that going for ya.

Poor Scotty had to witness a metrosexual drink that. In the very same bar as him no less. He should've kicked him in the nuts. You guys should find the thieves and kick them in the nuts too.

Go on. It's okay. You'll feel better.

That sucks. Small point, BTW...robbery is when you take something from someone by force or show of force. Your residence was burgled.

It's happened to me a couple times. When I lived in Tacoma, the armpit of Washington, someone broke into my car and walked off with a bunch of tapes, concert souveneirs, etc. Given the neighborhood I was living in, I doubt they kept any of it. Not a lot of Warren Zevon and Van Halen fans, as far as I could tell.

The scarier one was Feb 15, 1995. We had had about half an inch of snow. Mrs. Pacman and I were living on a ground floor apt. in Everett, about 11 miles from my office. She came in, helped me a bit on her way home from work, then left. I was working late, but hoped to get out soon.

I get a call from her. She says our apt. had been burglarized. Brief pause...I ask her "where are you calling me from?" She says from the apt. I said "GTFO NOW! And take the cordless phone, and keep talking to me." I feared the next noise I would hear was the sound of someone finding one of our weapons and using it. I dashed home, got there a little after the cops. Rear slider was wide open, but the apt. was still warm. There was snow on the carpet. I figured she was probably fumbling with the keys while they were still inside, and they made a beeline out of there.

We had a chat about not staying inside the place if and when that happened again.

We live in a low crime area now, but still have burglar alarms, with doors hooked up to sensors, plus a motion sensor. It's monitored, and they have our phone numbers if it goes off.
