What a week this has been. Someone broke into my house today. They stole:
DVD Player
Classic Rock CDs
Mother's Jewelry
Vacuum cleaner
My wallet (which had about twenty-five cents)
A 72 piece tool set
$60 in 20 dollar bills and a plastic bag filled with change.
My watches
My mother's make-up
My money clip, it was gold colored.

They didn't even go for the really good stuff, like the computer, car keys, check books, printer, stereo, books, or televisions. Ov vey, what is wrong with thieves today? Have their tastes declined?:confused:

The computer was in the same room, they didn't take the printer, the radio, or even the spare modem. They took the fucking vacuum cleaner.

Still, who the fuck steals make-up? I mean that's a pretty hard sell.

Maybe the robbers needed some presents for their gfs/bfs, explaining the thefts of both traditionally feminine objects (e.g. makeup and jewelry) vs. traditionally masculine objects (e.g. tool set). The thefts of more feminine stuff could mean that more of them favored females than males. ;)

Don't know if anyone has said this already, but bad luck.

Hide all the valuable stuff they didn't take. Then file the insurance claim.

Wait, wait, wait, they stole a vacuum cleaner, your mother's jewelry, and makeup? You were robbed by a transvestite (no offense to any here).

Perhaps a Transvestite with a tool fetish?

I'm going for the former.

If your watch, money, rings, and bucket of leftover KFC had been stolen, I would say it was a black guy.

If your shiny stuff, collectibles, and box of old crayons had been stolen, I would suggest a kindergartener.

They stole the stuff as early Christmas presents for their fiancé(e)s. Jewelry? Makeup? CDs? Traditional for females, while power tools and a wallet for males... ;)

Well, that's always fun. ;D I've done it numerous times myself. Stole my own things then cashed in on the insurance. ;)

(j/k, I know that's illegal...)

I was going to suggest it could be a garden-variety drag queen but they generally do not know how to run a vacuum cleaner (if the ones I have known over the years have been any indication, that is).
