596163 2007-09-29 18:04:00 Yes, I realize you are blinded by gimmicks, But at the risk of yet another retarded discussion with you, I would recommend anyone looking at installing a security system spend a bit of time and do some research in order to get a system that suits their needs and budget.

My first advice is a monitored alarm, My second would be for a stand alone recording unit unit, non-pc based.


Agreed, I thought thought that it could be considered as a possible option being that you can set up the video footage to be emailed/FTP to a remote location for later retrieval which is one of the reasons I am considering it. Having your house or premises alarmed would be the standard procedure.

596164 2007-09-29 19:03:00 I have set a few site sniffers running for the Takamini....if I get a hit I'll let you know....

I lost a Mosrite Venture's model before they made them in Japan, and now China.

It was precious too...never saw it again...but the US is a big place unlike your upturned tectonic plate adduction.

Damn! Sorry..makes you feel like you've been raped...I know I did!

596165 2007-09-29 20:14:00 Yea, I dont mean to bag the police but how long does it take to get somebody to lift the fingerprints?

I cant even use my house until they do....

596166 2007-09-29 20:44:00 A couple of days usually. They're overworked and understaffed. bob_doe_nz (92)
596167 2007-09-29 20:49:00 Yea, and there has been a mass increase in burgs lately. rob_on_guitar (4196)
596168 2007-09-29 22:16:00 I'm really sorry to hear about your break in. :( To have someone break into my house is my worst fear. Have you had a look on trademe for your stuff? Worth a look. Good luck, hope you find the bas***ds. never-u-mind (6500)
596169 2007-09-29 22:37:00 Thanks Never-u-mind, yup done a search on zillion, trade me etc, the fingerprint guy has just finished, we got some pretty good prints off the window that got forced open. Hopefully its enough. But Ive posted some pics up now too and some friends (thanks rock fm, the axeman) have put pics up on their sites or put the word out. rob_on_guitar (4196)
596170 2007-09-29 23:25:00 Pisses you off aye Rob?

My house gone done over when we got back from a family holiday up north a few years ago .

Not much taken . . . . but after about 30mins of it sinking in, I was beyond ropable .

Rang the cops . . . . . who were suprisingly interested . . . . offered to cut down their paperwork and just bring the guy to me if they caught him .

Came back the next day to fingerprint the bathroom where they got in . All VERY impressive . Honestly thought we would get a pat on the head and told "there there, it's ok" .

As it turns out it was a mate of the tenant we had living below . Don't get me started on the Tenancy Tribunal!

Hope you get the important stuff back .

596171 2007-09-30 00:17:00 Hell yea, I asked everyone to leave yesterday. No matter what anybody said it pissed me off even more.

But I figure no point crying over, got to at least try and do as much as possible. I have the strangest feeling that I will see my brothers guitar again, just a matter of when.
