Absolute Shocker!

[Riggwelter]

Apologies for putting this here but I needed to vent somewhere to avoid causing some damage.

This morning I headed down to put new iceblocks around the fermenter and keep it nice and cool, only to feel a breeze blowing through the garage.

Turns out some idiots had broken into the garage last night and not discovering anything of worth had decided to decant my 23 litres of beer onto the floor - bastards!

Not what you need before heading in to work! 'Twas my first brew too and bottling was going to be this weekend ..... :angry:

Now I've got all the fun of cleaning an empty fermenter with nothing good coming out of it

OK, got that off my chest - sorry!

Sorry to hear about that Riggwelter. All that hard work only to have some low-lights do something as senseless as that. :angry:

Best way to cheer yourself up is to start another I guess.

Warren -

Hope you didn't just get a leak or... leave the tap open.

Nah, the tap had been closed for a while and all the doors were open (I'm certain I closed them .....)

Cheers, Andrew.

Sorry mate, I couldnt find a glass.

Seriously though, what area do you live in ? That's just dumb, if they couldnt find anything to pinch they decided to punish you for it.

WTF is this world (or at least this city) coming to? Apart from the lost beer, you have to question such idiocy.

 

[hoohaaman]

Sorry to hear it also Riggwelter,stick it up them and start another.

I can't stand thieving bastards,but to vandalize as well, just goes to show the scum they are.

 

[MarkBastard]

Try and explain that one to the insurance company hahaha.

"Yeah I got broken into"

"What did they steal"

"They farkin emptied my home brew!"

"Err okay, is that worth more than your $300 excess?"

 

[Tony]

Maybe they were comercial brewers?



MEeting at brewery................ "how are we going to increase sales?"

Joe lowlife: "Lets empty all the home brewers fermenters"



SOme lowlives broke into my grandmothers place a while back. When they couldnt get the sterio or TV out the little window they got in through (doors were deadlocked) they pinched a bottle of orange juice from the fridge.

Was worth the effort now wasnt it!

Sorry to hear about your brew......... the next one will be better.

cheers

 

[jayse]

you think to yourself why, but these people really are from a different world. Don't worry yourself with the why.
One of those bastards dumped a turd in my shed once, it didn't even look like a human turd, they are scum and don't deserve a second thought.
You really just gotta laugh at how stupid and f'd up they are and get on with it or you'll drive yourself crazy.

 

[Jakechan]

Theft is a real bugger of a thing. Losing a bit of beer is the least of your worries, but sorry to hear about your experience. Fit some proper security to keep these f*$&wits out.

Cheers,
Jake

Thanks mate, you've really helped my borderline schizophrenia issues. Big Brother really is out to bring me down, one open tap at a time. Time for me to cover the house with camouflage canvas & reconstruct the tin foil hat

The reality is that they aren't from a different world, nor even a different country. Although they are likely either junkies or lifelong losers, so they are from a different headspace. But I'm going to say again WTF!!?!?! If I was so destitute that I needed to pinch stuff from people, I'm quite certain I wouldn't express my distaste at the lack of sellable goos by laying a turd or emptying someones home brew.

Although, to multitask this sickness we are speaking of, a turd in a fermenter would be funny.

EDIT: for my atrocious spellingk

Maybe it was Rigg's missuz making a silent statement against his drinking habits

Really cant see how, sorry.

 

[Brewtus]

What a mean and stupid act.

I hope something good happens to you to balance the world.

 

[Millet Man]

...a turd in a fermenter would be funny.

There was a funny story about along these lines by newguy I think in a recent thread about "strange things you've put in your fermenter" or something like that. Funny for us but not so funny if it's your fermenter.

Cheers, Andrew.

Nah, I'm going to save my next rant for Anzac day.

I feel the pain.....Muckey got broken into a few months ago...nothing new around here. There was a fair few power tools nicked.....and a cube of beer, that was cold conditioning. .....why? Hope they liked flat beer, the bastards...

Oh well, look on the bright side....you can console yourself by saying that your first attempt at HB was so f*ckin good, some scumbags came in to nick it before it were even finsished......
