Theives and Alarms
So, About a month ago I left my roommate home alone while I enjoyed a day of Guitar Hero or something else pretty cool. I get home and my roommate tells me "Guess what I got for free out of the blue today?" He tells me that a guy came to the house and offered a free home security system and all we have to do is leave the sign in front of the house as an advertisment for the system. Now, those of you born before a month ago could have seen that something wasn't right. My feeling and discussion with my roommate was similar to that of a man who knew that he was about to get robbed and hoped that it wasn't so. I go to work the next day and when I get home I find that we have been robbed. Yes, the beack door was left unlocked by the installers and they came back and grabbed his X-box 360, Wii, Playstation 2, and then go into my room and steal my X-box. They steal about 45 games from him, but get only the game I left inside my X-box (lucky for me) Yes, we reported it to the cops (who acted like we were making it all up) and then got his insurance involved. We almost got the security system people involved (because a) we thought it was them and b) they didn't even have us hooked up till almost a week later) However, we failed to get any money from the alarm company because that would have been work and my roommate hates working and remembering things and getting money. He's not that bright, but then again, he does see the world different from the rest of us. So, that is the story and really it is sad because there is no drive to rectify the situation and the roommate acts as if things will happen o him by magic or elves. Well, till the elves bring back our stuff I will be at school being driven and doing things. |
