Turns out, that the only things taken were my computer, and [livejournal.com profile] meltie's minidisc player.

I took [livejournal.com profile] milfos to my house, and we checked things out and what have you. Two boxes had been tipped out and my stuff was everywhere.

I'm a bit miffed that it was only my computer, but that's replaceable. My hdd was in milf's computer.

So yeah, it's replaceable, and I'm not too distressed. I also still really like the house, and want to live there!

Well at least is was only replacable things, thats a kind of bonus I guess. And you have your fella to look after you too. ;)

Like I said, if you need any 'bits etc I can check what I have and send a list of spares to ya if you like.. ;)

That's the sort of near-miss lesson about backups no-one wants to have to learn! Time to scout around the geek friends for a spare backup tape drive. And somewhere that isn't the house to keep them offsite in case of a meteor strike. Gotta keep the mp3s and pr0n safe ;-)

Good to know all was mostly ok :-*

mp3s, pr0n and movies, all present and accounted for.

all my archived CDs had been thrown around, but not stolen too.

all 49 disks of The Simpsons are safe and sound! :D

Argh! I have never been personally burgled (though my parents were when I was a kid) but I think if I was, the throwing around of Stuff would annoy me more than the outright removal of other Stuff in many ways. It looks like you're well on your way to sorting it though. You're not even shaking in a heap on the ground muttering about violation of personal space like I probably would be.

My hdd was in milf's computer.

Now _that_ is a lucky escape.. I'd be completely buggerified without my PC hard-drive... (not to mention all the _personal_ stuff on there..)

Must remember to back it up soon!

I'm so lucky about that :) I'd brought it over because his music taste is... lacking ;)

yes, let this be a warning to everyone!

Having lost the contents of my hdd (due to computer dying and muppetry by me), I'm glad you had that with you, although know how scary being broken into is. So what are you going to do about the house? Advertise for new housemates?

Possibly, meltie has expressed a wish to move out, so I'll happily stay, I couldn't live with him after what he's done to me. so yes, yay!

I thought he'd already moved out, I remember your post where you said all his stuff had gone, or was that just from your room?

nope, I moved all my stuff from his room when we split, and then we moved to a new house together that we'd already organised back in January :/

Goddamn, that's awful. At least it sounds like you're taking it pretty well. Let me know if I need to hop the pond and rough somebody up.

Sorry to hear about the burglary. At least it was only replaceable stuff that was taken.

The worse thing is knowing somebody has gone through your stuff and it's an awful feeling but at least you're ok and nobody was hurt physically.

Make sure you get some decent security now. There's a bloke in Beeston (now there's an advert) who makes good security gates, Yorkshire Security I think it's called. He fitted my door gate for me.
