Why do people have to be so evil??

Just a bit of a rant about some evil scum of the earth who broke into my friends house last night whilst he was out. They stole some things that can be replaced like the telly, stereo, Xbox, Wii etc but the the worst thing is they took the collar off his dog and let him out. Luckily some kind person picked him up on the main road and took him the the kennels where they traced my friend through the micro-chip in the dog.

There are some seriously evil people out there but it shows that micro-chipping a dog is a must.

    When we were burgled, they left the back and front doors wide open. Our cat was in the front garden crying (she isn't allowed out of the front normally) and we were very worried about our neighbour's cats, who were often in our garden and house. We thought they might have gone out of the front and ran off. Luckily there were in their own house.

    You sound a bit surprised that someone would do this but it does not surprise me at all I am afraid.They may have been going to steal the dog as well but he got away.

    Not quite the same thing I know, but a friend told me last week that at her sons football match some of the children watching with their parents were going to the graveyard next to the pitch and taking the flowers both real and artificial with the full knowledge of their parents.

    If I had been there there probably would have been a riot as I would have said something to those parents.

    Unfortunately, this is the society we live in now.

    I try not to think too much about things. Its a sad fact of society that there are evil people about. Best to think about positive things.

    Obviously a burgler is a burgler and there is no condoning their action, but the ones that really make me fume are those who rip up photos and destroy everything.

    I see no sense in a burgler doing that at all.

    Sadly, some burglars are even worse. We came home to find not only had they burgled but also defecated in our child's bed.

    What miserable lives these wretches must live to do such a thing.

    A friend of mine was burgled. The burglar excreted on the living room carpet. According to the police its a common occurence with these toerags. Its a way of rubbing salt in the wound because by definition these people are inadequate. Sorry, I just noticed techheads post. Seems to confirm what I was told.

    Many moons ago my place was broken into. I had nothing of any value, a rubbish tv etc. so instead they totally trashed the place. Ripped up my clothes, slashed my bed etc. I was obviously not rich and had no insurance and was literally left with the clothes on my back. I'd love for them to bring back the stocks.
