Beware of break-in's on the east end of STX

my husband said someone told him a house was broken into in CV last week sometime.

I'm so sorry you had to go thru this.
I hope your cat is okay, that is just soooo wrong.
Hoping who ever did this gets caught soon.

I still cant get past the shaving of the cat!!

Cant beat this price....

Seriously, what moron shaves a cats leg while breaking into a home.
Glad he didn't hurt the cat, at least.
Traumatizing for all. Hope you catch the perp.

i feel so bad for the poor cat

Hubby says it has to be a teenager or a drug addict to shave a cat.

We are watching out.

I have heard of robbers making a sandwich but that is just crazy to shave your cat's leg.......

There are a number of houses in CV that would be a bad idea for someone to break into, even in daytime.

I heard the house in front of us was also broken into last week. Sounds like no gold was stolen but the thieves were kind enough to lock the doors on the way out. WTH!

We live in cv and checkIng strange cars out.
we also have two fierce loud dogs so let them try.
Our schedules have us in and out during the day.
Shaving a cat??? That is sick.

i had to delete several replies centered around the shorn cat... haha

Not necessarily, it could have been a satanic ritual. 😉

But on a lighter note, this reminds me of my Dad & Mom's house getting burglarized back in the early 70's on St. Thomas over near TuTu Mall. My dad had two Doberman Pincher puppies brought in to train as guard dogs. They were almost a year old the next time a burglary occurred. The crooks not only stole gold and silver coins and jewelry, they also stole the dogs hahahahahahahahahaha. The dogs were recovered walking down the road where the crooks decided to drop them off a mile or so from the house. I guess they had second thought about those vicious guard dogs. Awwwwww good times.

I have heard from several CV residents and others in the vicinity that there have been many east end break-ins where only jewelry has been stolen. Someone must definitely be working the area.

I've heard about dogs getting stolen - a friend in NC had their pit bull stolen during a robbery! Must have gotten right in the car.

In Texas thieves use spray oven cleaner in the face to shut up and neutralize aggressive "guard" dogs. Hopefully that doesn't start happening here.

That would still be teenagers. 😉

Gotta wonder who is buying that jewelry from them.

there is a guy who used to work at a restaurant in the area who has a drug problem, he recently moved as the house he was living in had a fire. he is out of work with a lot of time on his hands and no money, just saying, lock up and watch out

I'm sure that the gold would be melted down and the gems sold on eBay or to local jewelry stores at a hefty discount.

I read the product details and it appears there's no hard drive. It has to be purchased seperately. That's maybe why it's so cheap.

Yes it has no hard drive...but for less than $40 you can get a 500gb, and it will still be WAY lower than the $500 you will pay here...I got that system 2 years ago...I've since added more cameras...but it's still working just fine...I can even access it on my iphone.

Damn, I could use that.

And the reason for it being so cheap is because it's a lower quality...when I got it I figured I would just try it out since it was only a hundred bucks and if the cameras went bad I could buy 4 more systems and still be around the price of the ones here....but they lasted a couple years even through storms and they are still going...for the price it's worth looking into and it's a great deterrent...
