My theft deterrent system, for the win. Kill all unwelcome guests and the people in the house next door with one shot.

Too bad guns are pretty much all banned in Australia. Sure hasn't helped their crime rate at all though.

Ok, well in this case you would have probably came back home from work and found that your precious guns were stolen.

That's what a gun safe is for.
 
Ach, ze Amerrrrikans unt zere gun fixxxation!

I believe the correct word is: burgled, as in 'to burgle', although a burglar could burglarise your house, or burglarize it in America.

Interesting they didn't want the electronics; confirms what I've heard elsewhere - they want cash and jewelry.

Just have the fewest, cheapest second-hand goods you need, I say, so if trouble comes your tears will be fewer; store up your real treasure in Heaven, as it says in the Bible.

I've had tools stolen, my neighbour's been confidence-tricked twice recently, I helped catch a robber some months ago, sooooo ......

The moral of the story is ....

The more stuff there is, the more there is to steal.

It's hard, but don't waste time and energy seething about it. Keep an eye on whoever calls, don't let them in if you're not expecting them, have good locks on your back door, double-glazed windows, and nothing worth stealing in the house.
 
Haha thanks for the replies guys.

Funnily enough all the coins they took were sitting in metal jars so the guy from the cops came back and is now trying to get fingerprints off them.

They haven't arrested the Foxtel guy, they don't really have any evidence other than the fact that the guy was at both places that were robbed.

Either way, we're getting contents insurance, and I'm definitely not attention whoring. If I were attention whoring I'd talk about how I made $10 000 today off green tea offers (I wish).
 
A friend of mine's sister and brother in law woke up one night to their two dobermans barking. He went downstairs and found a man flat up agianst the dining room wall with the two dogs sitting in front of him. He said to the guy I'm calling the cops, you probably shouldn't move.

You can get a gun in Australia provided you get a gun license.. My 21 year old friend has a collection of fully legal rifles. Handguns are a different story though.
 
Please forgive me, what is Foxtel? A delivery or repair service? Telephone company?
 
AHAHHAA

I like how the shotgun box says made in china.

LOL yeah i know, it's a New England Firearms Pardner 12ga... made in China. Go figure.

Shoots just fine and I've only ALMOST had to aim it once. Glad I didn't because it turns out the guys with shaved heads and black jackets outside my door were paramedics.
 
I went down to my beach house the other day and someone broke into the outdoor closet and stole all my surf boards and body boards. All they did was go to the store and buy the same lock I had and the key worked on my lock.

Now you just gave me many ideas.
 
Man, that sucks balls.
I've had friends with the exact same problem, only it was Optus installation for them. Those dodgy fucks act as spotters for their mates while they do the install, and only take the good shit that's easy to carry and fence.
I'm told AAMI and RAC(state) insurance companies are generally pretty good in replacing jewelry, but it's not the same, especially if it'd an heirloom or something.

And all you guys advocating guns, firearm offences are about the most serious crime you can commit here. They add to jail time substantially, and self defence is not a valid reason for use unless it's being used to "meet equal or superior force".
My home defence is a 38kg dog with a mouth large enough to fit my fist in.
