Do you live in Southie? I do and I was broken into in January. They used a bar to rip the door open and broke the deadbolt right out of the lock housing. It was the one day I was about to miss the bus and didn't set the alarm. They made off with my xbox360, all the controllers and games, jewelry, camera, my roommates ibook and a bunch of other stuff. They even stole the fishbowl of spare change I had on my dresser. The kicker was they stole a camping backpack of mine to steal all my stuff. They left my macbook which I found odd. Thinking back though the battery was dead and the charger was in a different room. My roommate found out a week later that he had saved his password in iTunes and they went onto his account and bought $40 worth of movies on the store! I was lucky because I have renters insurance but he didn't even after I told him he should. I can't stress enough how important it is to get renters insurance since it only costs about $20 a month. The worst part of the whole ordeal was knowing that someone was in my apartment and went through everything. They literally didn't leave a single drawer unopened and tossed and went through all the electronics boxes etc because they are junkies and looking for cash.
