Some sorry little shithead broke into my school this morning at 0328. He didn’t steal anything but it’s gonna cost us 500 clams that we can’t afford to fix the window he came through. :mad::mad: ---

Surely the school has insurance to cover this sort of thing. If not, why not? Ditto security cameras! ---

Isn’t the OP the same person who [has nothing for people who are losing their healthcare with the ACA](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=815247&page=2)? But a broken window is a tragedy ? ---

So you’ve got that going for you. Dude probably figured he’d better get one last burglary in while Obama was still in office. ---

I actually think it’s nice that Clothahump didn’t turn this incident into “proof” of his pet political theories. Like Victor Davis Hanson did when someone stole his chainsaw: [The Metaphysics of Contemporary Theft – VDH's Blade of Perseus](http://victorhanson.com/wordpress/the-metaphysics-of-contemporary-theft/) See also Roy Edroso’s “Black President Done Stole Mah Chainsaw”: [alicublog](http://alicublog.blogspot.com/2011/06/black-president-done-stole-mah-chainsaw.html?m=1) Anyway, that’s what insurance is for, right? Good luck with the repairs. (They were probably looking for nunchucks/ninja stars.) ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Fuck off. I feel bad for anyone who suffers property damage from a burglary, but if you spend literally years treating the general membership of this board with seething hostility, you shouldn’t be too surprised if sympathy here is somewhat lacking.
