Home robbery in Brisbane

Just saw an online news article and saw this thread.

This is not a nice thing to happen to anyone. Stay strong and hope the cops can find the scu*bags who did this to you.
 
So sorry to hear this happen. It really p**ses you off that people will do this to each other, just because the other is doing well for themselves. I feel for you and your family. I never keep silver at home, as im very paranoid and im glad i am.
 
Condolences to you- is a truly low act.
for someone who has risked so much for us , only to be targeted by the below human scum we have in our societay is devastating
my thoughts are with you
 
That's a very low act. Hope the barstards get caught.

I wonder how many of these have to happen before fellow stackers realize home storage isn't a good option. Especially in a safe.
 
Hi Lunty.

Like everyone else here, I am really sorry to hear this.

Weather it was a random attack or premeditated, I think it is a wake up call to all of us
to be careful in how we give out our address details when posting or receiving items.
We have a lot of guests viewiing this site.
A P.O. Box imo is mandatory if you are trading.

Lunty, when you get all the details of the items stolen, could you list them in the Members section
rather than in the public space? You don't know who may be watching.

At least you have a lot of eyes and ears open to anything that may be suspicious and hopefully
there is a break through.
 
Saw this in the Courier Mail this morning. I am grieved to hear about this...I feel for you.

I had my house ransacked in Zillmere a few years back and lost a significant amount of valuables (the aspley/kedron/carseldine/zillmere area is rampant with crime and I have since moved). The worst part wasn't so much the loss of these things, it was the feeling that someone had been creeping around my house while I wasn't there. The police found the burglar but couldn't press charges because he was underage (and I didn't get my stuff back either..).

There is hope they will get caught Lunty, don't get trapped in an emotional spiral.

Condolences,
Seb

I'm no IT boffin, but does anyone know if their is a way to see what IP numbers have come into range of a wifi router?

If it's an off the shelf router then no (99% - can't find a source that covers all). Routers won't log scanning requests from devices, but will probably have a hidden log somewhere of connected devices (which is useless in this situation). While it is possible to log all IPs that have ever 'interacted' with a WIFI network, it requires a fair bit of work and is not 'out of the box' functionality.

Security cameras are cheap as chips these days. Here's a list of what JB HiFi have - you'll be able to source cheaper stuff online. There are cameras these days which stream to the internet in real time, logging the last 24hrs or so of activity - there's no way for the thieves to destroy the 'tapes'. Put one near your stack, one outside (to record maybe a car used?) and it's some actual evidence. All for a few hundred bucks - worth it.

For the more technically minded, I'm playing around with fake bars and low energy consumption GPS, it's slow going though.
 
Although I've never met Lunty and don't live in Brissy, I can't read about this terrible act and not pass on my condolences.
I hope you or the police find the bastards.

All this talk of safes and safe deposit boxes is missing the point - even if your stack is out on display on your front porch it's still theft.
How Lunty stored his stack is his business, he is in no way to blame for this crime.

That said, the deeper you bury, the longer the thieves will have to dig.


All the best mate, may fortune favor you in 2014.
 
Mate,

Read the story today in the Tele, sorry to hear about your loss, hope you can get back on your feet soon.

Good luck Birdy
 
Lunty I feel your pain mate & hope these scumbags trip up & get caught, jailed & left to rot. This is the first I'm hearing about it, I don't read the papers or watch main stream news. As much of a pain in the butt as it can be sometimes, offsite secure storage (insured) is the way to go, You'll be able to sleep a lot better, I know I do since doing so.

I hope your PM's are returned, the police do their job, the courts do their job & your life can be put back on track with the lease amount of stress on you your family mate.
 
I would have a very sick feeling walking around the house and finding its been burgled, I saw the news clip and it shows the safe , in hindsight a thicker stronger safe may have bean better but then again the shitheads may have torched or cut it open anyway , who knows? Hope the Police catch these parasites...........
 
I saw a link to this story on the internet and immediately thought it would have to be someone here. Very sorry to hear that mate. It's a bad enough feeling having someone go through your house and take smaller, invaluable items but to have something taken away from you that has taken so much, thought, time, hope and money, must just be devastating to say the very least.
I really do hope it was insured, and if not here's to catching the thieving bastards.

Maybe we could start a 'Lunty' fund and donate one ounce of silver each, not that it would equate what he has lost.

For those who live in larger cities Australia Post offers a free parcel locker service. So far I've been very happy with this.

Collect your parcels when it suits you

You're not always home to receive your parcel, so why not have it delivered somewhere more convenient? Start sending your items to a 24/7 Parcel Locker or a Parcel Collect location - for free*
 
hi lunty I too feel for you and after recent incidents my stack was moved today. Any lowlife who does this without working for a living as you have done, and put their life in danger as you have done, deserves the full force of the law come down upon them.
 
Just saw a revised Channel 10 story air. They opened with 'an online bullion forum' could be linked with the robbery.
