Things like my Vice City neon sign are priceless......in my mind at least ;D. The 360, TV & etc are very important to me as well of course.
Not sure if it was already mentioned as I only skimmed through but if all they took were games & jewelry it was most likely kids from the neighborhood.
Anyway, I ended up going all out on an alarm & it really makes feel safer.
All of my accessible windows are protected with contacts (complete with tamper switches just in case someone gets smart) & embedded door contacts. There are glass breaks in every room, 3 dual tech heat & microwave motion detectors in central locations, an exterior siren & most of all a hidden control panel, battery backup & dual band cellular backup dialer.
You can even set up the system to have a super short 10 second delay for code entry or arm it for instant & do a remote disarm before entry. This means anyone walking in wont make it to the kitchen before cops are called.
Eventually I will get hidden exterior 480p cameras with a wireless link to an off site server but for now that's just a little too paranoid.
Oh, a p90 will make me feel even better >:D

You come home after a very good party, lose your keys, climb through a window and your house or your girl shoots you. :laugh2:

that is really crappy news. it must feel awful to know some &%(%&^ has been through your house. a few points about the event. as said by some, they are in a rush and are only going to take easily portable stuff. they probably just didnt notice the psp in their rush and in a tense situation and wont be thinking quite as straight as john mclane in die hard (i remember when i was 11, how freaky it was when i shop-lifted. even freakier when i got caught :o). the probable reason the keys are there is because there were two of them. the keys will belong to the guy who wasnt driving. im sure you have taken them to the police by now. that is a godsend.
about what they will do with passwords, modded stuff etc - nothing! what do they care. if they cant fence it straight away, it will end up in a dumpster...
edit: oh, and if the police went as far as to trace the ISP of the wii, all they will find is the sucker who bought it from cash converters...

While probably true, receiving stolen property, even without knowledge of it being stolen, is a crime here. The Police would use that to get the person to reveal where they bought the Wii. The Wii then gets taken back to the pawn shop. The pawn shop, by law, has records of who sold them everything in the place. The Police use the pawn shop's records to find the thief. The pawn shops and cops are so practiced in this that it doesn't take long at all.
Of course, I seriously doubt you'd ever get the ISP info from Nintendo nor the user info for that specific IP from the ISP. Not without a lawsuit that costs way more than the Wii ever would.

Let's see. It cost money to download all those things, thus it has monetary value, so yes, it was valuable, smartass. ::)
My laptop case had a SNES USB adapter. That can be replaced. The fully functioning ASCII pad with turbo and slow motion (best SNES turbo pad ever) is quite a bit harder to replace. I hate the fact that I was about 30 hours in FFXII. Since they have my memory card, it's basically like I wasted 30 hours doing nothing.
