No problem. It’s a looong story but here is what happened. The theft of my movie collection occurs at the end:
It was a hell of a year. I’ll tell it out of sequence like a QT film.

The Final Fuck You
They were a husband and wife team. They were 30 something’s but they looked like they were in their 50’s. Too many years of living hard and doing drugs.
The 17-year-old went to juvenile facility.
The 22-year-old was arrested.
The husband and wife team… Well the wife was arrested and then got out on bail. She took off and the coppers haven’t found her since. Her husband escaped being arrested. Police still don’t know where he is.
My other neighbors noticed him riding a bike around the neighborhood. My neighbor across the street saw him and two other guys snooping around our house while my roommate and I were at work. She called the cops. The cops took their time. So much time that she watched our former meth head neighbor walking down the street with a couple pillowcases full of MY STUFF and one of his friends was carrying a TV!
Later that day I came home to a completely ransacked house. Our furniture was turned upside down, dishes were smashed, and our clothes & books were scattered all over the floor. Also, all of our jewelry and our prized video collection of 500+ movies were stolen along with our DVD/VCR player and TV! The absolute worst thing of all is they shoved my cat in a box and locked her in a hall closet!!! The kitchen window was smashed. It’s too small for anyone to fit through so, it looks like they used a shovel (from our tool shed) to break open the back door.
The abuse towards my cat and the theft of my movies made me the most angry. Thankfully my kitty is ok. However, my entire prized (and loved before all other films) collection of QT movies is gone along with my collection of RR films and some other flicks I really loved, The Big Lebowsky, Fight Club, my entire Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubric collection, …… Stupid Rat Bastards!
So, when I see a QT film on TV, even if it’s cut to bits, I have to watch it and feel bad. It’s going to take me a long ass time to rebuild my collection…
The police dismissed the idea that it was our former meth head neighbors. They said it was teenagers.
I moved.

The Barney Fife Situation
My roommate and I had our identity stolen by a couple living next door. They were meth addicts.
We didn’t find out about our identities being stolen for several months until after a cop showed up at our house. What we didn’t know at the time was, our neighbors were using our address and applying for credit cards using other people’s names. Every day they would wait for the mailman. They would check our mailbox while we were at work. So, it took a while for us to figure out what was happening.
Detective Barney traced the fake credit card applications to our address and was ready to make a bust. He assumed we were guilty and wanted to confiscate or “take a look atâ€
