Burgled or Buggered - it feels the same

[neonlyte]

We wos robbed... not footy but the chest freezer from the garage.

Disappeared last night, about 3/4's full of food.

I phoned the police... the 'service user advisor' (which, I tell you is a relief for me... I thought I was just a victim) laughed.

"It's my first stolen freezer," she said.

"Mine too," I answered. "Did someone steal your's too?"

"No!" she chuckled. "Where was it stolen from?"

"The garage."

- - - hoots of laughter - - -

"it's the overflow freezer..." I continued, "for vegetables, fruit and stuff."

"Oh... Did they take anything else?"

"No... just the freezer."

- - - more laughter - - -

"I'm sorry," she said, "it sounds so funny. Have you looked around the area in case they abandoned it..."

"or left a trail of lamb chops leading to their lair?" I offered.

- - - hysterical laughter - - -

We went on like this for several minutes... a policewoman turned up later to 'inspect the scene'. When she saw what else was stored in the garage (other than a twenty year-old chest freezer) she too took on the air of incredulity.

Bizarre doesn't really begin to explain why an old chest freezer with last summers veg and fruit was stolen when several hundred pounds worth of sale-able goods lay readily at hand. I can only guess the immigration crisis is much worse than the government is letting on and people are actually starving in my semi-affluent London suburb.

I won't laugh. It doesn't matter what the SOB's stole, theft is violation. Were burgled ourselves years and years ago. *Hugs*

I heard there are quite a few bulimics in the area, Sweetheart. There's no stopping that craving when it hits.

I'll look out for your frozen good.

 

[glynndah]

Don't you ever read creepy books or watch CSI? Obviously they needed a place to hide the body.

 

[JagFarlane]

Hmmmm recent large shipment of pot arrive? After all those cravings are intense I hear

You're fortunate the cops showed up at all, probably for the amusement factor or out of curiosity.

On this side of the pond you're lucky if they show up for anything less than a multiple axe murder. Especially if Krispy Kreme donuts has the 'Hot' sign turned on.

There was an incident that is alleged to be true where a homeowner reported a prowler or a burglery or something and the cops responded that they were too busy to come at that time. Soooo, the homeowner called again and said that he had found the perpetrator and that the man appeared to be armed and that he now intended to shoot the son of a bitch. Within minutes, screaming sirens all converged on the home. When the cops rushed in, the homeowner calmly stated that he wanted to report a burglery. When the cops, somewhat irrately, demanded to know why he didn't have his gun out, the homeowner calmly retorted "Why did you say you were too busy to come out?"

I take the Rifleman. Probably should switch to the Hunter but I'm too lazy. Hardly read mine at all 'cause I'm tired of politics. However, when the Supreme Court releases it's expected positive ruling on the 2nd Amendment, I'll probably go buy an NRA flag and fly it off the porch.

Yea thinking of signing back up for the NRA. Been a few years, might wait though to see if the Navy medically retires me...disabled vet life member much much cheaper.

Currently waiting for the passing of Bill S22 here.

Whats the ruling the Supreme Court is going over for the 2nd Amendment?

From the questioning at the trial, it seems a really good bet that the SC will rule:
1. Washington D.C.'s outlawing of handguns and requiring all long guns to be disassembled is unconstitutional.
2. The 2nd Amendment, like the rest of the Bill of Rights, is an individual not a collective right.
3. Like the other nine parts of the BoR, it is not unlimited.

Basically this is a victory for the more sensible gun-owners but it's also a boon to the trial lawyers because it will require all the firearms legislation nationwide to be thrashed out in court, law by law. Maybe you should get a law degree?

I'm with the ursine one on this. Being robbed feels anything but funny.

I'm sorry you were robbed but glad you are having a sense of humor about it.
