Next time your dead... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

s14unimog · 08-11-2009, 06:52 PM

So it looks like this recession is getting worse by the minute; not only do we have a flooded unemployment market, but burglaries are at an all time high... For the last week I've been enjoying my vacation in Peru, but as we all know, all good things must come to an end; and return to the real world. I got back in Saturday to see that somebody has crow bared my back door and stolen a laptop, an Xbox 360, a Wii, a large plastic bin, and a UGA blanket; so far that we know of... My roommate, who was home while I was away, had gone downtown with some friends. Apparently, someone felt oh so inclined to help themselves into my house; between the hours of 9pm and 2:30am. I can't tell you how mad it makes me that I wasn't here during all of that.

Anyways...dead-bolts and door locks, don't mean squat to a wooden door frame it seems. Here's the damage....

IF someone tries this again, and I'm home, your fuckin dead. If I'm not home, then lets see if this slows you down...

It's called Door Jam Armor. I figured I'd fix this "weak point" with more than just another wooden frame; also installed them on every other outside access door.

If you catch someone breaking into your place, throw another punch for me.

g-via · 08-11-2009, 07:04 PM

yah, my family has that door jam armour, as well as this dead-bolt mechanism that locks in three places, sort of like a vault.

in the pic with the green door, it doesn't even look like the dead-bolt was used? Or else why wouldn't it be bent/sheared off, and unable to recede into it's hole?

Brian · 08-11-2009, 07:07 PM

shit man, sorry to hear/see this.

I hate people.

BustedS13 · 08-11-2009, 07:09 PM

never had a place broken into. sucks.
crime is down in St. Louis 20% this year.
sucks for you though. and i've been thinking about upping the security around here. one lock on front and back doors, and one motion light. that's the extent of our "security system"

i'm thinking about another motion light and maybe another lock on each door. that should do the trick.

...how does that "door jam armor" really help? looks like just another couple kicks to get in, and if nobody's inside, that's easy enough.

get some motion lights if you don't have any. put them on each corner of your house, or just where people would have to walk.

RurouniMidnight · 08-11-2009, 07:17 PM

Yeah fortunately ive never had anyone try to break into my place either but this really sucks man especially when your trying to be on vacation enjoying yourself, people who vandalize or steal other peoples belonging are dumbass fuckers.

Kouki_Love · 08-11-2009, 07:17 PM

damm man, sorry to hear that..

my apartment was broken into a few months back before i moved in with my roomates... they took a bunch of shit... crazy thing was that the door was unlocked and no forced entry so it has to have been one of the association people.. i wish i could find him and curb stomp his azz.. anyways, we ended up buying 3 camaras.. 1 that faces our 4 garages and 2 inside the app.

hope this dont happen to anyone else on here..

HyperTek · 08-11-2009, 07:25 PM

that sucks dude. do you have it fenced off? maybe have a dog or so? Someone had to know ur buddy was gone, like no lights on in the house or something.

Look at the frame, the locks held up great but the wood broke out. I assure you, both locks were done.

yeah, I'm not done. I'm getting an alarm system, motion lights, and installing trail camera's around my house. I will know who you are next time. I've used these in the woods and they've got great clarity.

They encase the door jam with metal brackets; one around two of the hinges, one large one for the lock side, and one around each door lock. They're installed with massive three inch screws that anchor in the 2X4's behind the wall. I assure you, the method they used before will not work again.

*!Zar!* · 08-11-2009, 07:30 PM

Next time my dead?

Whaaaa?

Sucks someone took advantage of you like that.

They must've know you were out of town.

Twitter?

Lights actually were on, oddly enough, and I'm going to be taking care of my moms 140lbs sheep dog; she hates anyone who comes to the door.

I LUV MY S13 · 08-11-2009, 07:33 PM

yea i had my pad broken into like 3yrs ago.. turned out to be the crack heads dwn my street...

jacked my laptop, 100 bucks that took me like 4 months to save up(i was 16-17), parents brand new wedding rings(5k), and some other random jewelry...total loss of like 9-10k..luckily we had hopuse insurance and everything was replaced..hope u had it man..anyways goodluck i kno how u feel....

oh and these fuckers also broke into their neighbors, neighbors across the street frm me, their neighbors and another house dwn the block, a total of like 23k(most smoked up or still kept)..they got 3 yrs jail time

FRpilot · 08-11-2009, 07:37 PM

do you have a patio door?

i have one and it's made of glass with just a metal frame. i guess better get ADT.

BustedS13 · 08-11-2009, 07:38 PM

might look into that door jamb armor. back door's steel with a tiny window up top, no worries there... front door's wood, though. but no windows. it'd be nice to not eventually be killed in my sleep.

Now I'm going to break in.

And steal you.

XperienceM5G · 08-11-2009, 09:11 PM

=\ No fun at all man..

Living down here in Phoenix means I can never leave the house for too long without getting an eerie feeling that all my stuff is probably gone.

All I can say is at least it wasn't worse.. My buddies house got broken into two weeks ago when they were on vacation back home. They stole 2 laptops, an Xbox, all the games, their HD projector + screen, a full Yoshimura exhaust to a 2008 GSX-R and then defocated on the floor in the living room to top it all off.

s14unimog · 08-11-2009, 11:28 PM

^ see now WTF is that... Thinking about how I would react to that would be right up there next to some one raping someone... Some people should just not pass go.

Felipe · 08-11-2009, 11:46 PM

they wont come back... your place is a burn.

move on to the next house.

325irollin · 08-12-2009, 12:53 AM

Glad I live in a good town and a nice area. Apartments are harder to break into since so many people live so close to each other. If someone ever does break in and I'm home, I'll get to use one of my guns for live target shooting

Yeah, I'll just hide and let them think they are getting away with it then once they are trying to snag my goodies BOOM!

adam s · 08-12-2009, 02:12 AM

Hahaha, we don't even lock our doors where we live haha, thats how low our crime rate is lol.

Sorry to hear about that tho =\

s14unimog · 08-12-2009, 06:57 AM

I guess it depends on where you live. I'm in a quiet little agricultural/light density rural area and wouldn't have thought for a minute this would happen to me... I guess I was wrong.

there is a first time for everything, just be fortunate it hasn't happened to you yet..

Cash · 08-12-2009, 07:29 AM

That's G, dog.

*exitspeed* · 08-12-2009, 07:35 AM

That sucks man.

emersonLP · 08-12-2009, 08:01 AM

At least we know they weren't car enthusiasts ;-) Some of the most expensive stuff in your house was all those turbo parts sitting in the middle of your living room and they didn't touch it!

Nice job on the reinforcements.

s14unimog · 08-12-2009, 08:07 AM

^ yeah, I would have been so bummed if they took that...
I wish you guys would have walked in on them...You would have had to drag Alex off the guys limp body...

***Future240*** · 08-12-2009, 08:27 AM

Yea it sucks to have shit stolen. I had my sub setup ripped out of my old car. Thieves are on the top 5 of my most hates types of people.

That is because you can shoot and kill the burglary and be given the key to the city. If we do that here at the very least we will go to court for shooting at someone.

shmiddy · 08-12-2009, 12:11 PM

i have the perfect solution:
this

plus this:

s14unimog · 08-13-2009, 02:21 PM

^ that's the full proof protection plan right there. I'm still waiting on my police report. Apparently my investigator is in training until Monday

. I really just hope the prints they lifted come back with a match. When I talk to the investigator on Monday, I'll ask him about GA policy on shooting intruders. I can't believe these days you can go to jail just for protecting your own home!
