View Full Version : Break in!
I just when over to the shop to check on something and we have been broken into! The shop was trashed, things have been scattered all over, bins of srap fabric and climashield have been overturned and strewn everywere My work table that was fairly clean yesterday has been trashed. Carabiners are all over the floor. I don't understand ti Everything is messed up but I don't think any thing is missing. The rest of the house is not touchedl. it dosen't make sense. l don't get it there is thousdans of dollars of gear and equipment in the shop let alone the stuff in the rest of the house.
EDIT: Please read the entire thread and watch the Video that is posted Below! This is an early April Fools Joke!

Glad you're ok... hope nothing was taken. That's really puzzling... they musta been looking for cash.

sounds more like looking for drugs to me. No reason to look in bins of fabric for cash.
Sorry to hear, you probably feel violated.

Sorry to hear that, it couldn't have been a critter could it? Coons will trash a place if they cant get back out.
I just don't know what to make if it. I just don't know why someone would break in trash the place and not take anything. I just whant to scream #&@%!

That sucks!
It sad the effects theifs have on a persons life. They were probably just out for cash.
When I went to college I drove a beat up Saturn in which the doors did not lock. Drove around two years without locking the doors in the city without problems. I went to hear some live music at a bar and came out and noticed a smashed passanger side window. Ripped out my broken radio & took a few dollars in change. Ran quickly because they left the tennis rackets, golf clubs and other fun stuff in the car. They could have just opened the unlocked door and taken my stuff without the damage!
Two years ago I left my bag in a parking garage in my friends car. Theifs smashed his window stole my favorite gym bag ever which has yet to be replaced, my prescription glasses, t-shirts, and cell phone. They took my friends credit card but no cash.
Moral of the story, the theifs got nothing of value in which they could use. (Unless the theif was blind and had the same prescription as me) However, the destructive damage they did to me was far greater. It sad that people have to live like that.
I'm sorry to hear this. Probably kids looking for money and drugs. Do you see how they got in?
If it is not too late, you want the cops to dust for prints.

Glad you and the family are ok, yea thats strange that nothing is missing, but also a very good thing as well, sucks that you have to take time now to get it all back to the way you had it. This might be food for thought about getting a security system installed, but that is a little deterrent cause if they want to get in they can and will no matter what. But like I said great news that you and the family are ok!!!!!

Gald nothing is missing and that you and the family are ok, its best not to waste energy trying to figure out why fools do what they do.

I just don't know why someone would break in trash the place and not take anything.
In my experience this is typical of drug thieves. Goods need to be fenced which means they can show up on the market and be traced. But the victim won't report a drug theft because they aren't supposed to have the drugs in the first place.
Might have just been vandalism ....... makes my neck brighten red just thinking about it Paul.
I wish you peace.

So sorry from Okieland. I have learned one thing from reading your posts, that you are a determined person with a possitive attitude. Hang in there.
I have looked around a bit more and it's like in the movies when the appartment has been searched by the bad guys. #*&@

Could it be that they were searching for Dutch Clips????
I think I heard one time Grizz did the same thing to DIY Tactical, you didn't forget an order for him did you?
Ha! I had one more Hawk, I was going to finger Mac as the culprit. Well, the joke is out, Got a bunch of you :) Great job Hawk Eye! But I can't take much credit on the buckles, They are Brandon's brain child. I have just posted them for pre-sale on AHE. I should have the first lot of them in about 2 weeks from Brandon, and They will begin shipping out as soon as they get to me, but I am taking reserve orders now.

I wasn't able to watch the vid...so this was a joke?
Hey Hawk-eye, the video is listed as private. But I'm at work and not supposed to be watching anyway.

sorry to here that paul.i know saying this is not 'politically'correct but after something like this happens to you it would it feel good to find the people responsible and administer a good beating.you would feel better and maybe the thief would think twice next time.
as been searched by the bad guys. #*&@
That would point to ATF agents as top suspects then.
Do you own a hacksaw? Could be probable cause.
Seriously though. ( well actually the above was serious too ) Glad no one was hurt. besides being trashed was anything actually broken or just tossed about.
I been duped ..... and I like it!!!!!
Hey Paul. My little order from you arrived yesterday. I sure am glad it was out of your shop before the Gorge Rats invaded.
Thanks for the great service!

Ha! Nice video Hawk-eye. I think Paul is an evil mastermind. He is brainwashing us with his great customer service and fast shipping. :D
Ok so Hawk-eye's and I try at a bit of dry humor has been lost on some. The invaders where Gorge Rats, in search of the new top secret suspension buckle that has been in development. Hawk Eye was trying to have a bit of April Fools fun before he has to leave for China in a few days and can't post to youtube so it's a bit early.
I took it a bit far and am sorry for "messing" with folks. Read the entire thread and watch Hawk-eyes video. I did not mean to upset anyone or make you feel taken, just a joke that I did not execute in a way to come off as funny, Sorry.

Anyone getting the "PRIVATE" message yet? Went on the account settings and it shows PUBLIC .... not sure what's up.

Paul I just ordered from you this morning then read this thread. As soon as i read your first post I said to my wife..."I sure hope they didnt take all the woodland camo strapping." Then I realized it was a prank. Best part is I actually saw Hawk's vid the other day and had no idea it was connected to this thread.
Yeah lets all place orders and buy up all his stuff then he'll have a large bank account to manage. He'll be so famous from his excellent customer service that he won't be able to go to the movies without the hammock paparazzi hounding him for pictures. Then you'll be sorry Paul Gibson!! Mwaahaha!!Mwaahahaha!
