I did have a 62" DLP stolen and a 1.5 carat diamond. Amongst other electronic devices. I got taken for about 40K of what I've counted so far [:@][:@]

Sorry to hear about your capital loss..Just remember that it's income tax time and everything you lost that is not covered by insurance is a capital loss and decuctable from your 1040. Yes, that includes that 114lb bag of uncut diamonds you had under the bed. Plus your 5 carat class ring, and don't forget the waterford settings for 12 either. Geez I almost forgot all 3 of the 50 inch plasma TV's as well. Better call your accountant.

Sorry to hear of your loss... Let us know what the insurance company does for your Sporty... A friend of mine was ripped off and he was expecting to get a whole new one out of the deal, but the insurance company only gave him full blue book... Good luck...

Dang that sucks, a clean sweep like that makes you wonder who knew what they were lookin for?
I sure hope that you have some good homeowners insurance to help you recover your losses.

Makes "public hangings" come to mind. On second thought hanging is to good for them. Sorry dude, hope it all works out for you.

RE: My sportster was stolen today
I know this is a bad time to bring this up...but some thieves return to the same crime scene knowing the homeowner will replace everything with new stuff. I would highly recommend getting and ADT or Brinks alarm for your home. I have an ADT monitored system in my home and if you go in my home uninvited you can't walk more than 15 feet in any direction without tripping a motion detector. This calls the local LEO's and sets off 2 sirens (one inside & one outside). Then the system administrator calls me at one of multiple phone numbers and tells me what is happening while he is on-line with the LEO's. The crook has about 2 minutes max to vacate as the average LEO response time in my town is 4 minutes.
Your insurance guy can help you get connected with the Alarm companies and you will get a discount if you add fire & smoke detectors to it. ( I save about $250/year and it costs $320/yr for monitoring by ADT). I would think seriously about it.
