Worst Feeling Evev!

[ghostcichlid]

Well this is my first time back on in a while. I recently order 2 fish from Rapps and I was sooooooooooo happy with the fish. 3 days after I got the fish I come home to find the door wide open. At this point im like WTF? I go in and as soon as I walk in i notice my 72 bow front has been smashed. I proceed to the fully planted with co2 injection 90RR where my prized pikes from rapps are and also......smashed :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:. The punks did not steal much but some dvd's cd's and a brand new nikon d90 (I just received in the mail the day before), which looking back if they would have just left my tanks alone I would not even care about that stuff! All my fish were gone by the time I could do anything and the floor was a mess. Being a man I hate to admit this but I cried like a baby. All I have left now is a 26 bow front, that was in storage, to which I am setting up salt. I will not let these punks ruine the hobby I love so much. I will keep posting here and keep everyone updated on my adventure into the world of salt. Leson Learned.........You dont know what you got till its gone .......Trust No One!:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

[DucatiDragster]

That's awful. Sorry to hear. Just stay strong!

[birmansandbettas]

That is AWFUL. Not that I have insight into the criminal mind, but why destroy and kill stuff? Don't people steal for profit?

What scumbags. I'm so sorry.

[devder1]

thats terrible im sorry

[famous323]

thats sucks man

[freshwaterfishing]

Dam man. So sorry. steal whatever but dont touch my fish!

[gt1009]

I know your mad right now, but it's important to start the search soon. After you file the police report, I would start calling local pawn shops and anywhere that they could sell the camera and stuff to. Also, search ebay and craigslist. They might be dumb enough to post it on there. Don't let them get away with this!

[ghostcichlid]

that is exactly how I felt. I though man stealing is one thing but what the hell did my fish ever do to you punks. I really miss my pikes. I was so happy to have them!

[hmoobvwj]

^^^ Man If I caught them in the act of doing this to my fish and to my property. They will be left with some bullet holes if not a knife in them. Stupid people.....

Sorry to hear what happened.

[ghostcichlid]

Yeah i am in the process of doing all that stuff. police report has been filed. this happened several days ago. Trust me I was in no condition to post the night it happened!

[famous323]

i hope you get those punks

[90cat]

That sucks I'm very sorry to hear that

[hmoobvwj]

Do you know anyone who could have done this? Or is it just a random person who is just wasting the earth's air?

[DucatiDragster]

Yah, your totally right about that; crook's are pretty dumb people. Also, just to add in, if you have swap meets (flea markets) in your area, check them out and see if anyone is selling your camera.

[timeneverfreezes]

Wow, man, Im so sorry. That is just senseless.

Crooks almost always sell right away so you have a good shot if you move fast.

[ghostcichlid]

That is one of the problems right now. I dont know anyone who would want to do this to me. I mean I have not wronged anyone in any way what so ever. The police think just a random act. I think a usless piece of flesh!

[frontosablkrhom]

wow i just read your story and i never thought that could happen, i feel for ya man :(

[nigaharu]

Could be some jealous person who knows you.

[cichlid fiend]

sorry to hear that boss

thats sucks

wat type of pikes u had?

[Hmong_Xiong]

Sorry man I doubt you will find the person this happen to me but instead my car. The police can care less.

[ghostcichlid]

I had a wild caught pair of frenata from rapps

[Ullopincrate]

So sorry man. I don't like to be this way but, maybe the next house they break into the owner catches them and puts a couple of holes in them. Then they can leak and gasp for air. A****les.

[cichlid fiend]

ok /sorry again for the lost those were the one's he was selling like 3 weeks ago rite

[ghostcichlid]

yes sir and they were beatuiful fish.

[dragonfish]

And yet people still want to cry about criminals rights and how theydon't deserve harsh punishment at the hands of the homeowner they are violating. Sorry for your losses, I understand going through the senseless feelings.

[HarlanAshmore]

****head mother****ers if i cought em doing **** to my tanks i would break their face

[dragonfish]

****head mother****ers if i cought em doing **** to my tanks i would break their face

Harlan, stop holding back. Let your true feelings out.

[HarlanAshmore]

Harlan, stop holding back. Let your true feelings out.
sorry i got real angry when i read that

[dragonfish]

sorry i got real angry when i read that

It's ok. Did you read my post above yours?

[Cichlidsanders]

This just makes me mad!
I see this and I wonder why can't the home owner take a baseball bat to the person violating their home without fear of being in as much trouble as the perp!

Good luck, Stay strong!
I hope you find those jerks and give them a home run swing or two ;)

edit: Keep us updated!

[Bottomfeeder]

i tell ya man...im FUMING for you...they just decided it would be fun to kill your fish?...
people like this make me ashamed to be a human.
but why would they go for the tanks...? could it be someone you know...?

[navygirl76]

wow im so sorry to hear this! i dont know what would drive a person to do such a mean thing-and kill animals in the process! i dont know what to say-it makes me mad..

i hope they find who did this-

[Eoibio]

I hope they do find the person/people that diid this...Altough they won't be in prison long enough..They never are.

ARGHHH
Why did they break your tanks? Dipsticks..

[HPIZZLE]

omg dude....im so sorry.... i dont know what else to say.

if it were a big case the pigs could prolly use dna **** and get them, but if its not a murder they wont go through the trouble.

so sorry bra. hang in there.

[likestofish]

Dude if that happened to me and i caught them they wouldnt leave with a few holes they just wouldnt leave those ****heads

[Pyramid_Party]

Hope you catch them, they arent even my fish but it ticks me off what they did.


Im willing to bet it was some teens. I think only a kid would get a kick otu of busting someones tank. If not, could be someone you know taking revenge. Try to catch them.

[all_or_nothin]

that stinks im so sorry! hopefully they go to jail. so sorry

[Anoop]

I'm so sorry. My hope goes to you.

I hope the catch these punks who did this too you.

[Bottomfeeder]

dude if some1 messed w my tanks id throw em out the wondow...its right near my tanks lol

[armac]

Anybody pissed with you?

Breaking tanks sounds personal

[artemis1]

Sorry for your loss, man that sucks! If I caught scum like that breaking my tanks they'd look like swiss cheese in seconds!

Anyways, why break the tanks? Sounds like they wanted to make you angry. Hell, maybe that's all they wanted. They coulda just took the camera and stuff to make it look like a robbery. If I was making that kinda noise, with that kinda time, I would've gone and took your washing machine too, while I was at it.

[Ben268]

That sucks...as many people have already said...if I were to catch them in the act...

Anyways, keep us updated, and let us know if you/the police find anything out.

[le patron]

that sucks, and those jerks need to get a life. thieving is one thing, but needlessly breaking a beautiful(and not to mention expensive) aquarium is being a lowlife scumbag.

you have my condolences ghostcichlid

[bigfishrcool1193]

sorry to hear........ i was lucky that when our house was broken into, the jerks didnt smash my 125 or 55........ i am looking back and seeing how lucky i was..... i'm sorry that what happened to me didnt happen to you :(

[Tom]

If someone were to come in my house and do that to my rays, they better hope that I don't come home because I would pull a straight up OJ Simpson on them.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your adventure into salt makes you feel better. Keep your chin up. I can't even imagine how you feel.

[armac]

still sounds personal

you boinking anybody's old lady?

[zfoster22]

people saying if they caught them they'ed LEAVE WITH HOLES IN THEM **** the mother ****ers woulnt be leaving on there on will it would be in a damn body bag CASTLE LAW *****

[Fishes33]

Maybe I watched too many CSI

The first thing I can think of is, he is trying to wash away the evidences (finger prints, clothing particles, shoes marking, blood stain and etc)

BUT...

this is just a simple robbery, and its not even a homicide, why do so much?

Anyway, Good Luck, hope you catch them soon

[Neervana]

that is so sad! i think i'd go into depression if some idiot came and smashed all my tanks up. good of you to stand up and carry on, dont let those scumbags bring you down. they smashed your tanks because it was some jealousy/hatred thing. they cant take it so they arent going to let you have it. my house in mauritius got robbed a few times because they knew i didnt live in the country and then they slashed the tires and broke all the glass in my dad's mercedes because they couldnt steal the car. just goes to show what people are like these days.

lets start raising doberman puppy

[Neervana]

i like your thinking :D

[dawn]

But don't let neer have the profits!

[[enjoyable_attempt]]

Wow man, I feel really bad for ya.. Keep us updated and let me know if you catch them. I honestly don't know what I would do if my tanks were smashed.. deeep depression sounds right. Im glad your going to continue the hobby! Stay strong!

[Neervana]

But don't let neer have the profits!

STOP STALKING ME FROM THREAD TO THREAD. :screwy::screwy::screwy:

[Jgray152]

Good lord!! I feel most of your pain bud, as I was victim to theft and break in as well except it was in my 1988 Mazda Rx7. You feel as violated as a rapped girl when this happends.

Dust for finger prints!!! :)

I chased a guy once trying to break into my car again. I am out for pure red blood when stuff like this happends. Drop the guys off a cliff into the river only to wash ashore with no head!

Well I hope you bounce back from this, it will be hard but in the end its a new beginning for something.

Best wishes.

[Yanbbrox]

So sorry to hear, try and stay positive

[richard99th]

Its doesnt make sense at all.... why brake the tanks? A**holes! I mean they stole stuf and brake the tanks? that sound personal to me. When my mum got broken into when I was a kid they left her tank and dog alone just stole some jewelry and left again.

Some punk kids also broke into her garden once and messed up some plants, again the 1000 gallon koi pond was untouched.

sound like you have some one who holds a grudge and they stole stuff to make it look like a robbery and just wanted to break your tanks and make you mad.

sucks and i feel for you! TEAR THEM A NEW ONE FOR ME!!

[ghostcichlid]

Just wanted to giv an update! The police told me today they caught someone with a bunch of peoples stuff and a positive ID on my nikon D90 by serial numbers but not much else. The cops said he done this stuff before and he tries to sell the stuff for drugs, I guess he is strung out on meth. Even with the cops catching him that still doesent bring my tanks and fish back :cry: and I still can not have the camera back untill after the trial they say that it has to be used for evidence. (:WTF: this A**HOLE gets a trial what a bunch of :bs:). If it was up to me I would put him in a small room with everyone he has stolen from for about 30 min and say go at it!!!! The reason he smashed the tanks???????? I still have no clue. Mabey he was druged out or something? If they let me in the court room I may end up in jail myself for assault, because im gonna beat this guys @$$ if I see him.

[nitrofish1]

That is AWFUL. Not that I have insight into the criminal mind, but why destroy and kill stuff? Don't people steal for profit?

What scumbags. I'm so sorry.

Im sorry for your loss. Id probably cry too.

[Eric A]

^^^ Man If I caught them in the act of doing this to my fish and to my property. They will be left with some bullet holes if not a knife in them. Stupid people.....

Sorry to hear what happened.

At least the police could look at dental records. I would have their set of teeth in my knuckles.

****head mother****ers if i cought em doing **** to my tanks i would break their face

I'd give the homo****s a little momento, I'd give me a few piecs of glass in their legs (not chest cos i don't want to kill em).

**** that makes me pissed to no end when I read that. join a mafia, join a gang, and **** them ********s up!

You do also have the option to let the little **** head burn for it and add in the reparations for what he did to you. I doesnt help bring your tanks or fish back but "Tit for Tat"

[nitrofish1]

id agree with this. try to take his money first.....

[Fishes33]

REVENGE!

Beating him up, won't avenge the death of your fish

Beating him up, will only give him the pain and he will GET you back

BUT

go forgive him AND

give him A LOT of meth, and he will takes a lot and a lot of them

OVERDOSAGE

and he will be DEAD!

A dead person will always be better than a person in pain looking for ways to get you back

:eek: Nice Poem, Eh?? :P

I'd like to see the world burn, but it doesn't burn :(

anyway... GOOD LUCK! :D dont beat him up, its not worth it! and dont do anything stupid :D

[stingraybob]

Ok, from what ive read ive seen noone ask, did you have homeowners or renters insuance?????? And to everyone who thinks shooting the guy in your house is fun, its not, its affects you in more ways than you can imagine...

[bigcol]

Ok, from what ive read ive seen noone ask, did you have homeowners or renters insuance?????? And to everyone who thinks shooting the guy in your house is fun, its not, its affects you in more ways than you can imagine...

And you would know this HOW?, im just curious to know how you know what it feels like to kill some1 ???????

Really sorry to hear about ur loss mate, its a very sad story and i almost cried reading it actually i think theres a tear there now, sorry dude just dont give up eh............

Revenge isnt sweet its glorious

Ive been unfortunate enough to be in that situation..I had a punk that decided to break into my house while i was home, i have my conceal carry, he came at me with a knife, i warned him, god i didnt kill him!!!!, im just sayin things change when stuff happens...sorry to hear this happened...

[birmansandbettas]

I'm surprised they found anything, that's awesome. Any chance they can tack animal abuse onto the charges? I'm guessing not, the laws are geared towards pet mammals.

Slightly OT: To the poster who likened being robbed to being raped--not cool. No, it ISN'T the same as having your body violated and torn apart beyond repair.

[iloveoscars702]

wow thats messed up. sorry to hear that. if i ever caught someone trying to steal stuf in my house and tried to go for my fish, theyll get a 12 gauge to the face lol jk.

[whereaminow?]

Wow that's just terrible. Sounds a lot like what happened at my high school during my senior year. Some kids broke in and smashed the bio teacher's three 125 gallon fishtanks. Some people are just messed up in the head.

[ShipOfFools37]

yeah man, thats horrible, many condolences. Where in NC are you located, if you don't mind me asking? It's cool if you don't want to disclose your exact location though, I understand.

[BPags52]

Man that is horrible. I couldn't imagine what I'd do if that happened to my 125g...let alone what'd I do if I caught the guy in the act...

[Horiyoshi III]

Drugs man.........

People don't kick in doors for cameras, it's what the cameras get sold for.........

I have no sympathy for users of hard drugs.

[vladfloroff]

Really sorry to hear that, I'd be in a tear fueled blind rage. I'd have had no qualms or regrets killing the bastard, well except the jail time.

As far as pay back, dead people don't suffer slip him some kiddie porn and call the cops.

To the guy comparing rape and theft, your car stereo worth more than your @ss??? Priorities need rework.

[Hmong_Xiong]

well atleast you got something back right..someone stole my stero system in my car and took my sub cost me 600. sorry about your lost

[SLR-Turtle]

If anyone did this to my house, I would be searching craigslist, calling local and non local pawn shops, ebay. If I caught them during the act I would stab them ( I have two knifes in my room, for uhh...aquarium stuff)

[tcarswell]

Do you think maybe getting the camera in the mail the day before could have had something to do with it? Im a paranoid guy I know but if you put the box in a community dumpster and someone saw it or saw it in the garbage in front of your house that could have been why they broke in. None of this explains why the hell someone would smash a tank that is just absolute sociopath destructive behavior. Just remember Karma buddy.

[tcarswell]

:nilly: I caught some people in my back yard it never crossed my mind to hurt them as California is so sue happy I reccomend against this. The only time I ever had to really lay in to someone was on vacation in Hawaii a local tried to steal my wallet while I was in the shower after a hard training session. I threw my training shorts on and chased him down and served some concrete style justice (The quickly switched hotels as to not wind up dead from his rage later on)

[Hap3niz]

wow man, horrible horrible people.. i hope they get what's coming to them.. a nice smash to the head..

that is unbelievable.. i am mad =/

i hope everything works out for you and im glad your not just giving up!

[Passionate 4 pikes]

Firstly i want to say that i am very mad right now at those people.
But also this thread has become chaos, everybody says the exact same thing along with a lot of swearing, seriously it is not very nice when threads deteriorate. also people have been threatening violence and death to someone who broke the tanks. seriously the theif would probably be armed, secondly killing somebody is stupid and would just put yourself in jail for the rest of your life if not more serious.
please stop the nonsense!

[classic-chassis]

If hes armed, that'll just help your 'self-defense' case...no jail time :D

[sixftsam]

I feel very sorry that his had to happen to anyone, you have my sympathy. To all of those saying he's messed up, your right... i hate how someone like this can do drugs at his own choice, but then use it as an excuse to ruin other peoples lives.

I feel sorry for his family, and all the **** they must have to go through, as well as all the people he stole from, what selfish person. I really hope things work out for you in the long run. no one deserves this to have happened to them.

[Wulfonce]

This just makes me mad!
I see this and I wonder why can't the home owner take a baseball bat to the person violating their home without fear of being in as much trouble as the perp!

Well said sir.

Good thing this didn't happen in Canada. If those punks would have cut themselves while smashing the tanks you would probably be sued for it. :WHOA:


People who do **** like this deserve a bow shot to the neck. Give them a little time to think about it while they bleed to death. What a waste of matter these people are.:irked:

[agassizi]

my buddy actually has insurance on his aquariums and their contents:screwy: now i see that anything is possible

[Cerbios]

I recommend adding a very big dog to your list of pets. I'm usually pretty calm but If this had happened to my house, police would have to come restrain me. I'd break out the hunting gear and start looking for foot prints. How do you quit crack in one day? broad-head to the chest that's how. Sincerely hope you catch the $%%^ rejects.

[ozz465]

Sorry bout u getting jacked man , here in los angeles its rather common , ive actually had a person open a window in my home and try to get in . My step dad woke up and beat the crap out the guy and chased him for a few blocks.

[JohnM]

Just a waist of my oxygen these people are. I say that America has the wussiest justice system in the world. Revolving doors on our prisons that is what we have.

Agreed , even beating someone up would have serious repercussions for me. I dont mess around fighting I go all or nothing and imagine me unscathed sitting across the courtroom from some guy who had has arm ripped off at the shoulder from an arm bar.

[spaulding]

one of the reasons i want everyone in my nieghborhood to realize the dogs that live in my house.

[seaofdreams]

On Christmas Eve a few years ago, my family and I were out at a function and we came home to find that someone had broken into our home, had stolen some items of little importance but had tortured and drowned our kitten. I just don't understand the thoughts that run through these peoples minds.

[beginneralex14]

That is horrible!

For starters who does that on Christmas, and why would anyone try to hurt a kitten!

Its these moments I believe in Karma because whoever did something like that deserves something really bad to happen to them.

I'm really sorry to hear that... I have two cats myself and would be devastated if anything would happen to my boys.
