I've only let one stranger use my cell phone... ever. And I could have beaten her ass if she tried to steal it.
Note to everyone: don't let a homeless person use your shit.

I'm not too worried about my shit being stolen these days, insurance is a good thing. I'm more worried about the insurance company not believing me when I tell them I have $10,000+ of videogaming stuff. "Why the fuck would anyone have 5 copies of Wing Comamnder 3" "Step off bitch. One for PS1, 3 different version no PC" etc...
When I was 12 my mom got me an SNES. It was stolen a few months later. Neither me nor my mom had $200 to replace it :(
My most recent brush with almost-theft was during school a few months ago. Some asshole busted my passenger window rummaged around and then didn't take a god damned thing. What the Hell? I was surprized they didn't walk off with my speakers and subs... The odd thing is, a couple months after that a friend of mine's window got busted in the same parking lot and they took alllll of his shit.
Also, about 5 years ago someone came into my house took my PSX, and N64 along with all of my games and a bunch of change... and that's it. We assumed it was my one of my brother's friends but none of them fessed up to it.
My family has had a couple of thefts. About ten years ago my mom's car got stolen along with my brand new pair of size 4 Air Jordans (assholes). But then they found the shoes in the local playground and the car in some shitty neighborhood. Also, someone broke into my uncle's house while he was asleep and was about to bash his head in with a golf club, but luckily my uncle woke up and moved out of the way. He grabbed his gun and chased the guy down street firing at him.
I need one of those.Quote:

From the sounds of your neighborhood I would say you do.
Actually, I'm the last person who needs a gun. I'd shoot everyone.
Oh, the 7-year old son to one of the our neighbors stole my PS SFA3 when they came over. I wasn't around, and the rest of my family allowed that thief in my room. Reason?
"He wanted to play games. Gosh, why do you have to hog everything?"
No, I just don't want some punk kid with no values rummaging through my room unattended. Don't get me started on much all these friggin games cost.
Then there was one time a guy stole all the money I had earned from a fund-raiser. I chased that jackass and then he hides the money and tells a teacher he didn't take anything, I was crazy, a liar, etc. A few days later the same teacher comes back with the money.
I think those are the only times anyone's ripped me off.

Yeah, you should get one. From what you say, it sounds like you live in the neighborhood from that HBO show "The Corner".
Everything out of 88s mouth convinces me to never step foot in Baltimore. If his shit isn't getting stolen he's watching drive-bys.
Fuck.
Except with higher homicide and HIV infection rates, and more heroin.Quote:

Never had anyone break into my house or car, but I did get mugged when I used to deliver pizzas (in Baltimore. Which is a really bad idea). The guy who did it is now in prison for 20 years or so.
