Today, my house got broken into for the third time. The nice police officer said that if I didn't want my house to keep being robbed I should, "Fix the place up so it doesn't look like a crummy vacant building." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my house was broken into. The cop that came turned out to be a guy I fought over a girl with in high school. He sneered and said that everything appeared to be in order, and that I probably ransacked my own house. FML
Today, my apartment was robbed. The police report said my apartment was ransacked. No it wasn't, that's how it looks every day. FML
Today, my house got broken into. They just made a mess. I saw a note on the kitchen table that read, "There's nothing good here. You have shitty stuff." FML
Today, I came back home to find that my house had been robbed, one week after my neighbors. I was walking around my neighborhood to see if anything was suspicious, and discovered that my neighbors had put up a sign, reading: "Rob the neighbors, THEY don't have a security system." FML
Today, after having my car been broken into the day before because I didn't lock it, I made sure I locked my doors. When I got off shift and entered the parking lot, I noticed a brick had been thrown through my windshield and a note that said, "Nice Try". FML
Today, the police called because someone had turned in my wallet that was stolen. I happily drove home only to find that my house had been robbed and ransacked. FML
Today, two weeks after reporting our car was broken into, the police showed up to our flat. They came to inform us that our car was was broken into. We explained that we knew this and reported it weeks ago. Apparently, it was broken into again, and set on fire this time. FML
Today, I came home to find that my house had been broken into. After assessing the loss, I saw a taunting note on the fridge saying, "Locks work best when the door's SHUT." My housekeeper had apparently left the door wide open. FML
Today, my house was robbed while I was at work. The robber left a note telling me my stuff was crappy and that they found my safe under the bed. FML
Today, my house was broken into. I'm really poor and don't have a television or nice clothing, so they just dumped my trash all over the house and stole my one loaf of bread that was supposed to last me for the week. FML

If a freaking police officer tells you your house looks like a vacant building, maybe you should take his advice! Don't be a slob.

Man. If your house is getting broken into so much, it is probably time to get new locks or something. While the officer was rude, there are things that make your house more appealing to thieves. Delapidation is one of them. It says "this house will be easy to get into."

if a house looks cared for and lived in that drives a lot of would be thieves and trespassers away. also a lot of crimes happen because the people who commit them think nobody will really care.

Set the dump on fire. That may help deter the thieves.

There's a reason he said it, and he's right. Read up on the broken windows theory.

rather than blame the cop for being insensitive maybe you should take into account what he has to say. either your place looks like a shit hole resembling something a crackhead or a bum would squat in or you live in a bad neighborhood. either way you should fix the place up maybe put in a security system or wise up and move the he'll out of that dump. leave it to dumb ass people to say that the cop isn't doing his job to catch a petty thief when they are swamped with calls with crimes they can solve, not ones that have to be caught in the act for there to be any results.

I completely agree with this. The cop was giving you useful advice, not having a go at you. If you stopped going into auto-offended mode, and thought about it for a second, you'd realise he was right. Man, for someone that lives in a crack den, you sure are touchy...

I got a security system the day after my house was robbed the first(and only) time. I didn't wait for it to happen again(and again) before doing something.
