This is our local Pastor, right down the road from my home.
Most of you don’t know I was a Pastor in TX, my PhD is in theology [from SMU]
I got so burnt out on how the church(s) were run as a business, I quit going…for decades.
This man turned up in my [backyard] and changed that. He has many videos, and to get to know him, who he is, you will need to watch more than one video.
Brother @LordVapor , I hope you will at least watch this one.
@LordVapor As long as you have people here wanting to listen you shouldn’t feel like you are using any of them. I’m pretty sure most are more than willing to listen to anything you have to say at any time. And we all know that everyone needs to vent at some point especially when bad stuff happens in your life.
Me myself isn’t a religious person so praying isn’t anything i do but i will on the other hand send positive thoughts your way and hope that will help.
I absolutely hope that talking to that pastor will make things easier for you.
Sorry to hear about this @LordVapor I have had a car stereo stolen back in the day. They smashed the drivers window what a mess to clean up. But to take someone’s pictures and videos that’s a whole new level of Disgusting. My Prayers go out to you…Let me know if you need anything
Yep, I had it happen many years ago. They got caught because they stole a credit card. Turned out, it was one of my daughters friends. They also put Graffiti all over the inside of the house so the police would blame one of the local gangs - instead of them. They did catch them. Please Dear Lord, tell me you have insurance? I am also extremely sorry for your loss, I remember also feeling violated and very unsafe for a long time. I sold the house because I couldn’t sleep in anymore.
I don’t have insurance. I have no need to protect things that mean nothing to me, or the money I would have to spend yo replace it. I have given away everything I own. I only have a few things more than 5 years old. In hindsight, I wish I had gotten renters insurance. But the replacement items wouldn’t do anything to help me here.
I don’t pray much, but in your case I will make an exception. I do know how you feel and it’s overwhelming.
To the others point’s here - churches not only provide moral support and prayers but financial support as well. I’ve seen friends suffer some horrible things lately - Job loss, fires etc…they can help you replace things as a victim of crime.
I don’t know where you live but if you filed a police report and the cops have been there and you have a need for certain things, churches can help you get some of those things replaced. Don’t be afraid or too proud to ask - I had to ask for help about ten years ago. That is what they are there for.
LordVapor. We are here for you man. Sometimes life just kicks your ass. You’ve been through the ringer a know it isn’t over. I have found speaking to a professional to be very helpful. It’s helped me to take the gun out of my mouth and see my crappy life is slowly getting better. I’m happy to discuss this with you. I do think it would help. We are too similar for it not to I think.
I know losing your stuff sucks, but this incident carries it’s own value that I know you will see in hindsight. It’s cold comfort, I know, but much love, brother.
Someone was wayyy too comfortable breaking in and taking your stuff, they had to know you and where you kept your things. Sorry to hear about this, it makes me angry, I want to kick their ass.
I am so sorry for the anguish this has caused you, it obvious this is kinda of a straw that broke the camels back kinda thing… there are always brighter days ahead though and while you may not have the pictures you do have the opportunity to make more memories and pictures… I really wish I had some wonderful words of comfort but I am at a loss for words right now… You are in my thoughts and prayers Lordvapor.
What The Fuck Dude! This is some Bullshit right here!!!
That SUX LV! Like you haven’t had enough shit spooned on your plate already…
I hate that this happened man, I feel your pain. It’s more about the violation of privacy than anything else. I would have to agree with your view on this situation… Most likely, the EX was involved…
From what you’ve stated; this does not sound like a crime of opportunity. Whoever did this, knew you and had been in your place before. They knew what they wanted and knew when you wouldn’t be there. They also acted like they belonged there while carting things away. This suggests a high familiarity with the complex and further supports the idea that they knew there was low risk of confrontation cause they knew your schedule.
You may be a much more level-headed man than me… But at this point, I’d be drilling some 5" screws through the end of a baseball bat and going to fuck something up. Most likely, the ex-gf’s house… Sometimes, VIOLENCE, is the answer. I’m not even sure what the question was but I’m positive that breaking shit is the appropriate response!
JUST KIDDING DUDE… DO NOT DO THIS LOL
In my younger days… The previous scenario is exactly what I would have done…
But now… Thanks to court appointed, anger management and a lifetime of therapy… I am much more “domesticated”…the drugs help too…
Unless you wanna go through all that crap… I’d find another way to cope… Maybe take a pottery class…?
Seriously, if you need anything or just wanna shoot the shit, you know where to find me Brother
Tomorrow’s another day friend… Just take 'em one at a time…
wow loadvapor, you are taking this really good. I was stolen from ( kids) i found them and told the punks that I would cut the fingers off if they stole from me. Got my shit back. but I don’t have much and on a disabilty so to lose most of your vape stuff. That would make it personal.
I allways wounder about that, kids and other people knowing what you you have , just might try to get all your mixing stuff, nic, flavors, scale ect. You are a bigger man than me, I would be out for blood. DAMM I hate theaves.
Lv sorry about your loss. I do maintenance in apartments, try to get a hold of the maintenance staff and ask them if they saw anything. We (maintenance staff) may not always know who actually lives where but we see a lot of stuff.
@LordVapor You are in our hearts and in our prayers. Be strong and we’re here to prop you up if yo need to lean on us. Bless you and my god comfort you in your time of pain. I liked a lot of the posts here but none of the ones that you left only because I just can’t like a post describing something so painful.
Sorry Bro you have to go through this. Keep watching for the location of the laptop, keep in contact with those that can help you like police, landlord, boss, family.
I getting sick to my stomach. Damn that is messed up. What kind of POS would do that to someone? Ex or not you would have to be pretty heartless. I really am sorry brother
You hit the nail on the head. From the time I met my ex-wife 8 years ago she began alienating me from my friends, one at a time. From refusing to hang out with them, to being a real b#### when they came around, to even trying to get my best friend to sleep with her. She drove them all away. And now being divorced and having been away from my hometown for 8 years has left me without a single friend. So this crap has piled up on me over the last year and I am now at the lowest point I have been in 25 years and have nobody here to help me recover from this.
So yesterday I poured my heart out to my ex with a long text message. I apologized for anything I have done to make this divorce difficult in any way. I tried to reason with her and work something out to get these lawyers’ hands out of our pockets. It was a heartfelt plea for a means to end to all the problems we have with one another. She gave no response.
I am starting to think the people that robbed me live right here. One claims to be working for the owners. We had a little argument here the other day where I was supposedly driving too fast through the lot. I never go over 15 mph. He had a gun on his side and acted all threatening, to which I became agitated and basically told him if he worked for the owners to get off his ass and fix my leaky gutters.
I think the lying little prick, who was the first ones to meet the cops, was the one that did it. If I see one of these people outside vaping I am going to go off. I head a loud stereo being played last night that never heard before. It is the only thing that explain how someone could pry my door moulding off of my back door and nobody saw them.
