I went outside to smoke a cancer stick, I pulled my phone out like I normally do and I have 3 missed alerts. Two of them were missed calls and one voicemail. Both of the calls were from a friend of my husbands, when I seen that I though instantly that something happened to my husband. This friend wouldn't be calling me while I was at work, unless something was wrong.
So I check the voicemail, and it was my husbands voice. This is all that I heard "Hey Baby, we got robbed..." That was all I heard, I threw my cigarette on the ground and hurried back inside the building. I went right to my boss and said "I have to get home, my husband left me a VM stating that we were robbed".
I was frantic, I get home and my husband isn't there the friend mentioned above wife was there. So she tells me bits and pieces of what happened. When my husband got home I got the whole story.
Around 3:30ish my husband took my dog for a walk, now Denver goes for a about 5 walks a day maybe more I really don't keep count. In the morning his first walk last about 30 mins and same with his last walk of the day. So this walk was only a short one, maybe 10 mins.
Joe walks him up the street and back, now you can see my apartment from the end of the street but of course when Joe was walking Denver up the street his back is towards the house. This is when our house was broken into. Since Joe was going right up the street he really didn't think about locking the door.
Well as Joe is walking up the street coming back to our house, Joe sees our neighbor and his friend jump into 2 different cars and speed off. When Joe got back to the house the door was locked, thinking that he accidentally locked the door he went over to a above mentioned friends house (they live across the street) to get a butter knife to jimmy the door open.
He gets the door unlocked goes back across the street to return the knife and get Denver, when he came back he noticed the mouse for his laptop was sitting on the couch and that is when he noticed that it was gone. He went to get his cell phone to call the cops and it is gone, along with his wallet.
That, was all that was missing, they tried to get our Play Station 3 but I guess they didn't have enough time to get it. Only reason Joe knew that was because it was moved. Oh yeah they also got the key to our house that was sitting on the coffee table next to the laptop.
Joe knew right away that it was our neighbors, who just moved in a month ago, bad thing is we have no way to prove it because he didn't actually see them coming out of our house.
Cops took all of the info and even talked to our neighbor when he got back. Of course he denies having anything to do with it, but the cops don't believe him.
Joe went to the bank and had his bank card cancelled, but not fast enough, they got gas with the card, thankfully our bank was able to get that charge taking off. We also know which gas station it was so Joe went there and get this, they don't have camera's!!!! Which I think is bull because you would think they do in case people try to steal gas! The cops are checking it out though.
We went and got new locks for our doors, so that key they took is no good, and I don't have to worry about them trying to get into our house that way.
I am thankful that no one was hurt, but I am sooooooooooo pissed. Joe said it couldn't have been anyone else on the street, he said he didn't see anyone else on the street when he was taking Denver for a walk. There is only one way to get off of our street and the only cars to leave the street were our neighbors and their friends.
We have been nothing but nice to them since they moved in next door. One morning around 7am the girl that lives there knocked on our door asking to use a phone because her ride didn't pick her up for work and we let her. Then her boyfriend (same one from today) asked Joe if he had tools he could borrow to put up a blind, Joe ended up putting the blind up for him. When the guy thanked Joe, Joe said don't worry about it that is what neighbors do.
I swear they better not run into me. I am not going to start trouble, shit I am not getting the cops called on me. But, I won't keep my mouth shut I am from Philly I am not afraid of them. I am sure they think I am some hick, this city girl is far from a hick and I know how to run my mouth...lol. I also know in case he tries to sick his girlfriend on me to never throw the first punch.
Oh the best part of this, they took Joe's cell phone. Well Joe went to the Sprint store and got a new phone since we are both eligible for upgrades. So tonight I was on his phone talking to my best friend because mine was charging, when a strange number beeps through. When I answered it they hung up. So I called them back and they answered and hung up. I plan on giving the cops the number, who knows it could do something.
I am also going to look into companies that will look into Joe's credit because his SSN card was in his wallet. We want to buy a house in the next year or so, I need to make sure our credit is safe.
You know you see things like this on the news and in the papers and never think it could happen to you. These people were just waiting for Joe to take Denver for a walk, they would have never tried it if Denver was in the house because my neighbor is afraid of him. It makes me wonder if they were planning it, all the times they were nice to us. I wonder if it was all a game. Joe said he wishes he seen them coming out of our door because he would have let Denver off the leash.
Ughhhhhhhh, you don't know how hard it was for me to not knock on their door today and give them an earful. My landlord is pissed too, he is looking for a reason to kick them out now. Thank God I have a landlord who loves us, he told me tonight on the phone that we are the best tenets he has ever had and he was so sorry it happened to us.
Well it's super late and I have to get to bed because I do have to work in the morning. I just really need to vent. I really don't think these jack asses are going to get caught, but keep your fingers crossed that they do. I know that even if they don't get caught what they did today will come back to bite them in the ass.
Until later.

Unbelievable!
Like you, I'd be PISSED. Not sure I could keep my mouth shut either.
I'm truly sorry this happened to you though. I really am. :(
Keep us updated. Hopefully they'll be kicked out ASAP.
In the meantime, I'd be overly cautious everytime I left the house.
XOXO
