View Full Version : How to snare a thief

I just noticed that about 40-50 of my DVDs are missing. I supect that my
hippie, bum, white-nigger, room mate has been pawning them for booze and
cigarettes. I suspect him because he's always trying to bum money for those
items. He can't buy using his independence(food stamps) card. The wigger
can't hold down a job because of his attitude. I pointed out the theft to him
and he's trying to blame one of my neighbors.

So, I decided to setup a webcam after work last night. Despite being a
little jittery it does reasonably good job recording motion. Now only if the
fucking cats wouldn't jump in front of it.

Whoever's stealing these the DVDs will be PROSECUTED. If it's the white
nigger, then I may take the step of beating the shit out of him before having
him locked up. I'm working 2 jobs, making good money, and can easily replace
the DVDs but it's just the idea of it ! :mad:

I am having the same problem with my but with my crackhead parents. YAY.

Anyway, to catch him try to set him up to fail, like leave some money out in front of the camera, or something less valuable, but the sparkle should catch his eye. You should make it a tempting object but one that he would think you may not notice missing right away. And set the camera up there.

Tmp,

Be careful with this guy. Is he aware of your interests (belonging to this forum and your ftp)? If he is, and you have him busted and he knows it's you, he may tell the law that you are some kind of home grown terrorist. You and I both know the paranoia of our society these day's.

But that does not mean you don't do what you have to do.


My commanding officer once gave the definition of a thief: It is a man who would crawl over his dead mother to f**k his dying sister.

Can't get lower then that.

Just my two cents.

He is well aware of my activities, but I can clean up BEFORE I have him
busted. He's an obnoxious drunk as well. He likes to get in the faces of
people when he's drunk often shoving his fucking left-wing books in peoples'
faces insisting that they read them or declares them stupid if they don't. He
once got punched in the face(not by me), 8 fractures, for doing that to a
person. Personally, I think he's aware that I'm on high alert to the thefts.
Even if it costs me, I'm going to take other security measures as well.

As for him going to the cops about me, let's just say I have some relatives
and friends who are correctional officers. All they have to do is get the word
out that he's a fucking rat and the general population will take care of the
rest. That snitch will become a prison bitch for sure ! :D I wouldn't shed a
tear if this white-nigger was murdered in a prison.

P.S. One thing I've learned in life is that over 99% of the people in the world
are decent. Then there's the ones like wigger-boy. Less than 1/1000th of a
percent. They're like mules. The only way to get a mule to cooperate is to
beat it in the head every 5 minutes with a 2 X 4. I'll settle for a baseball bat
for this mule.

Ummm, quick question... why do you even bother sharing the same room/home with this lowlife?

Surely there are better people/places around?

How about impregnating some cash with silvernitrate? As to turn his hands the appropriate colour.

There would be no way for him to deny he stole it. A camera isn't 100% idiot-proof.

tmp...I hate to hear about you being stole from. It is a feeling that is not enjoyable. I once had a very valuable plant stolen from me by people who I trusted. It sucks even more when they lie. I am sorry.

As far as snaring the idiot. I would say it is a better move to find a new roommate if at all possible.

Hope it pans out for you.

I just got home from my 2nd job after a 12-hour shift and the recordings so
far don't show him going near the DVDs. He didn't even go into my bedroom.
The camera would have showed that. He'd have to pass the camera to get
into the bedroom. I think he's aware of the camera although he's computer
illiterate compared to my 7 year old great-niece. He couldn't get by the
password protection on either computer anyway. The dumbfuck constantly
whines and wants to be spoonfed information on how to use his computer.
Sounds like a fucking KEWL doesn't it ? :D

Anyway, when I 1st took him in, despite his drunken obnoxiousness, he
proved to be, and still is when he works, a very hard worker - almost anal
retentive. Beyond the booze, his biggest problem is his attitude ! If he could
get over whatever chip he has on his shoulder I think things would work out
very well for him. There is one thing he learned on-the-job and he's very
good at it - locksmithing. He even taught me some of the basics and I can
still pick most locks(Medecos and Multi-Locks excepted).

The idea about silver nitrate on the money is interesting. Than an evil, but
funny, thought came over me - nitrogen triiodide. Catching that BANG on
video would make a great YouTube video, don't you think ? :D

The problem is one of my 2 cats would more than likely "touch off" the
currency and then I'd have to pry a screaming cat out of the ceiling with a
crowbar ! Must admit, that video would be even funnier ! :D

However, if he is unaware of the camera, I think he'll fuck up eventually.
Somebody stole those DVDs. They didn't leave on their own steam. I'll keep
you all posted.

Why don't you booby trap a DVD jewel case (buy a DVD you'ed never watch at goodwill for the trap), when the case is opened a charge goes off, not enough to kill but enough to scare the shit out of someone, that will make him think, if he opens it, and if the guy at the pawn shop opens it first the next time your roomie brings him some pilfered DVDs he'll get the ass kicking he richly deserves.

It's really annoying to be cheated. However, I really recommend against using anything which may put you in the bad shade.

While having survaillence is good, having a good locker with a good lock (even a good high security padlock) is far more better. Good lo(u)ck.

A lockable cabinet would be good, but what if your "opposition" is armed with the knowledge of locksmithing and picking? A exploding or otherwise harming boobytrap could bring some unwanted attention from the feds.

Guys, tmp already told up that this guy is a ok locksmith so a lock would be neglible in this situation. I advise downloading the ebook of '101 spy gadgets for the evil genius' (I am going to post a link in links and literature tomorrow) and build a 'Nanny cam'.

This device is very versatile and I intend on making one. There is also a plan for a camera am I video case. This could be mixed in with the DVD's and would really catch him out.

OT but is DynamiteMike a moderator? I notice he has edited some of the posts in the WC. I didnt notice that he was listed as a mod. Sorry mike if I stepped on your toes!

This is a really innovative idea. Catch him black-handed! :p

I know I'm acting paranoid. However consider this:

Since tmp is not behaving as powers-that-be intended, they want to trap him. So pigs tell his drunkard friend (roommate) to annoy tmp to lure him into making something illegal. :eek:

I always say better be safe than sorry. Regards.

I know I'm acting paranoid. However consider this:

That's really a couple of shades too paranoid for me. :p

I would consider moving or finding another room mate.

He can be the nicest, most friendly kind of person in your face, but if he steals from you behind your back, he's already proven he can't be trusted and is not loyal to you.

Instead of inflicting him bodily harm or doing anything illegal, be as kind as you can be to him in his face,
then use him yourself for any gain you can get from him; be it financial, material, favours, etc.

Exploit the sucker in any possible way and squeeze him dry for what he's worth, then dump his sorry ass and move on. :cool:

I agree with BlackFalcoN. Exploit him, but don't move on. Make things crappy for him so that he moves on. Screw moving out because some idiot steals from you. Kick his ass out. Why should you have to move because he is the prick? I wouldn't blow his fingers off, but hell, use him as much as you can, the fuck him off.

HeX - Kind of worrying isn't it? You don't know who is a moderator these days and who isn't... Best be nice to everyone :p.

Seriously though, if you (legitimately) disagree with something a moderator has said, say so. Moderators aren't here to stifle your free speech, they are here to keep the trash out and make things easier for everyone. They aren't going to ban you for disagreeing (politely) with them.

Perhaps tainting the booze with MeOH is in order? Not enough to do permanent damage, just enough to put his thieving ass in the hospital.

It's taken some time to assemble the list of movies and import them into a
searchable database. I still have to weed out anything that I have on
laserdisc. Even with that, I severely underestimated the number of stolen
DVDs. I had forgotten that I was jamming them in the closet anywhere I
could. It appears from a count on the database that over 500 discs were
stolen.

Wiggerboy got pissed at me the other night because I was assembling the
list. He's trying to tell me to accept my losses and forget about it. He even
dropped a hint about potential police investigation of my hobbies. In other
words the guilty party here is trying to back me off ! WELL FUCK HIM !
He thinks he has a trump card. He's going to find out that card is the joker !

I'll make all necessary preparations before presenting my list and report to
the police. I've already taken some steps. There are only a few left.

I'm not even concerned about the money at this point. It's just that people
have stolen from me even on the job. Last week I found out that some
lowlife stole my automotive universal A/C charging kit. It had all the fittings
for every type of refrigerant. I want to help Wiggerboy relocate to the
Maryland House Of Corrections where he can take his wedding vows(as wife)
with biggest, meanest inmate available. His honeymoon should be a real
scream, don't you think ? :D Accept my losses ? Not this time ! I want
payment rendered in the form of pain to this thief ! He's a fucking liberal so
he should right at home in prison ! He'll get to live with people he says are in
there because of mean conservatives like me.

Tmp,

That was my concern when I first posted about this person. People will do may things out of revenge or to save their self.

I would suggest, if you are going to provide a list of stolen items to the police, make sure there are not any dvd's (or anything else) that could verify/collaborate his story. Double check everything again that you plan on cleaning up before making your move. Then do what you feel is right and remember what my commanding officer once said........ :)

That particular concern has always been on my mind. My cleaning list has
been made and is already set into motion. That idiot must like being in jail.
He was released right before Christmas because he violated his probation.
Your C/O's definition of a thief is accurate and that fits the asshole because
he hates his family, especially his mother. I'll keep you posted on my
progress.

The reason why the expression "Revenge is a dish best served cold" has lasted so long is that it bears a great truth.

By being relaxed and not looking for immediate gratification, the time & effort utilized is gradual and the person invested in seeing revenge is tempered with restraint. The results of any endeavor are never promised but by gradual effort toward an end, the revenge seeker has the greatest chance of success. By having less emotionalism attached to his efforts he is able to dispassionately design what will work, not what he will want to work.

In ancient Rome, the poisoner was considered to be an artist of sorts. The hideous work was designed to do the damage with a great chance of success but never with overt direction back to the perpetrator. He was a great example of dispassionate effort. On the battle field the laying of mines had the same odious results...no guarantee, but every chance of success IF the ground work was subtle!

This is accomplished differently with most every circumstance. But one of the highlights of emotionless action is the knowledge that any result of any action can at once be a gamble due to nothing in this world being certain.

So how DO you fuck some clown over? Always direct energy toward what he DOES, not toward what he does NOT do. A man who can't swim rarely goes swimming; a man who loves leisure rarely digs ditches. In both Vietnam & Rhodesia soldiers stayed away from paths as they thought they were mined. So the enemy put his mines where the soldier would go to stay away from the supposed mines! The last place a soldier would sweep was right in the midst of a bush but that's where the mine was hidden & right where he walked.

Why not buy a lockable case, put your D.V.D.'s and a camera in it, if anyone goes in or picks the lock you will definitely know about it.
