when it rains it defenatly does pour.....

Post by flash.dan »

well moved house at last two days ago. yesterday morning we were broken into and lost about £12-15k of stuff. no home insurance as was going to sort it out when we were unpacked and found the landline (thats been stolen too) so ive had to give my RTC acaras mbu etc etc etc to the LFS and tell them just to sell them and the plands for a huge tank have been put to one side for a year or two until we get everything back. the boxes that were stolen included my pc, laptop, TV all of Emilias clothes and most of mine, pine stands and cd racks about 300-350 cds home cinema system all of our bedding literally she has one set of clothes all i have is work gear and suites left....

as if that wasnt bad enough the boiler packed in last night after all this..... not great when we have a 10 month old daughter... plumber coming today i really hope ts easilly fixed......

anyway i wont be on here too often for a good while until im back on my feet if anyone wants to keep in touch if you havnt got my email already its flash.dan@hotmail.co.uk

Cheers Guys / Gals

The people who did this to you are evil and disgusting, and I hope someone does something horrible to them one day so they know how it feels. Social rejects

Oh my God! Schismy is right - that's evil. I mean, even taking all of your clothes? Taking so many valuables and even your daily essentials? That's just evil. Didn't they even think about how awful it is to lose SO MUCH stuff? It's a pain in the butt when your credit card is stolen, but at least you still have a change of clothes!

And then the boiler, too, with a baby in the house - wow, that's not fun. I hope things get better soon.

And I hope they catch those guys and you get some stuff back.

I'm fuming, and it isn't even my stuff! Argh! Dirty rotten nasty EVIL EVIL people! I hate people who just have no consideration for the extent of the damage they do and the trouble that they'll cause for others. I HATE THEM!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

I'm so sorry. Having things stolen makes you feel so used and vulnerable. And just after getting a new house which should be a wonderful, happy time. Not to mention we all know how it feels to plan for and finally be in the last steps to getting a new puffer and a new tank...

i feel so bad for you
our house was ransacked several years ago
i know just how difficult a situation it can be
it takes a lot of patience, & especially working together to get through it
my heart is really out to you folks
it's really unfortunate how many "evil & disgusting" people are out there, without a grain of
consideration for how much impact they have on the lives of their victims
you have people here that care about you
wish you & your family the best

just a thought folks, and maybe too late for action on this, but.................
is there anyone that lives anywhere near flash.dan that might be able to help out with placing or fostering their fish, so that they
don't have to lose them this way?
i've been thinking about their situation all day, and it's tearing me up.
on top of everything else that is happening to their family, they're losing their fish, too.
sure wish i could help.

I'm not close to Dan, but I've offered any help I possibly can give. I don't like to hear about things like this either and am willing to help out in any way I am able.

thats a lovely thought but i dont know too many people that can home a RTC and MBU for a year or so especially as at the moment they have to be housed seperatly. Ive told the LFS just to sell them now pretty bad conversation but its the best for them to be honest. Next year ive promised myself i will have a new 9x3x3 and will start again. were considering selling up and starting elsewhere just feel violated. I think to be honest given 2-3 months ill move to the other side of the city again to where we were before the area is nice there as some of you may know (if youve been over).

Im keeping my 6 foot halids and a few sequence pumps as a reminder that im going to get it all back fish tank will be the last thing on the list of prioities so i know when i get a new one im back where we were
