damn, that sucks. hope you have insurance right? make sure to document everything with the cops. btw, cops won't do much other than take a report, but it'll be very useful for insurance purposes. i'd suggest you do not repurchase anything except the bare necessities at this time, cuz they might make a revisit.

So was it insurance yea or nay?

Almost all locks not sold as intentionally UNBUMPABLE are at risk. There are a few very popular locks that are considered not bumpable (and nearly impossible to pick) in the sense that they are much more complicated internally. Medeco brand (newest generation) is one but can cost over $120. There are some gimmicks out there to claim you can make your lock 'unbumpable' but I doubt they work 100% all the time.

Sorry to hear about the break-in. About 21 years ago, I had my old apartment robbed - and it was by someone I knew, but couldn't prove it to the police. They too came and dusted for fingerprints, and that was about it. They also went to the guy's house who I knew that did it, but said they couldn't do anything unless they saw one of my items laying on the floor next to his feet when he opened up the front door. My apartment...

that sucks dude, did you have security precautions/systems? Are you going to get them now? Big dog?

That sucks, did the cops dust for prints? I've always been curious why they do or don't. I assume your electronics added up to a fair amount, but if they didn't, I wonder if it's because they don't want to or because they know the insurance company will pay for it. I got an alarm system for my place quickly after I bought it. It hurts to lay out the cash for sensors on every window, door, etc., but it's worth it...

Damn, no one deserves that. Not even Tarantino.
