Update: Here is the full story. House was empty Monday from 1:30pm to 5:30pm when my roommate came home. He found the front door ajar, and stuff thrown around in his room. I left work immediately to come home. I found they stole all my cash/coins/gift cards all nicely placed in a jar on my nightstand with a Steal Me sign on it. My pocket watch and tie clips were also stolen. For my fellow sneakerheads, not a single shoe was touched. Little do they know that a couple of those pairs would’ve made them some good money. They entered through the garage window where I weight lift, hence the visible shoeprint. I’m one of those guys who throw chalk around like Lebron. I say they, because the garage side door was also opened, which doesn’t make sense to come through the window and then open the side door. The police came and took a report and only snapped a picture of the shoeprint. Now here is where it gets a little weird. In our trash, we found two Dewalt tool boxes filled with Wattstopper lighting/motion detector parts, and electrical conduit parts. On our driveway, we found a prescription bottle for ibuprofen with a name. The police took that with them as evidence.
I decided to post this today as a shot in the dark to help the cops with this investigation. Now I realize the cops have better things to do and I will never see that money again. Nevertheless, it didn’t hurt to try. Thanks to /u/PARTYxDIRTYDAN and /u/alex053 I was able to call the cops with some information. Like wtf this actually worked. I am still amazed. The cop told me that his colleague recognized the name on the prescription bottle and she has been in and out of county jail over the past few years. Now if they catch up with her and she owns a shoe with that print, as well as the same shoe size, we got em fam. Believe me I will update you all if that happens.
Where do I go from here…Life goes on. I am a little on edge and paranoid in my house right now, but hopefully this will pass. I don’t want to live in fear. This morning someone knocked on my door and my heart beat like a fuckin rabbit. I am currently in a black hole of reading reviews on home security and hope to at least have that in the near future for presence of mind; however, I know there is no perfect solution. Also maybe store my priceless computer backup (family photos/videos) not right on my fuckin desk.
Ultimately, I don’t know if anything will come of this, but I hope in some way I can help prevent it from happening to anybody else. I’m making my neighbors aware, and hopefully turning them all into sneakerheads as I pass out photos of these shoes. I just want to say that the internet can be brutal, but it can also be beautiful. I want to thank you for making this a good experience. And thank you r/sneakerheads for being the real MVPs. I’ve been a lurker for too long. Much love.
For Scale. Sorry no banana, but I got the proteins for my lifters.
