My Time is Yours |
Hoping my Sig Forum family is doing well! Giving you a little update. We left for a 2 week trip to Vietnam to trace my father in law's footstep when he left North Vietnam in 1954 after the communist gained control from the French. We landed in Hanoi, visited Nam Dinh, Bui Chu, Halong Bay, Da Nang, Hoi An, Da Lat, Saigon and Rach Gia. 15 days, 5 hotels, 3 in country flights. We were able to find my FIL's childhood home, it took forever but we were able to find it. 3 days into the trip, getting on a ferry to cross the Red River I get a call from my alarm companies saying multiple burglary alarm going off. I checked my cams and 5 scum buckets broke in and ransacked my shop. The weren't able to get into the safe, which I'm so thankful for but still a mess to deal with. Man, the anger seeing these scumbuckets live and not being able to do anything is beyond anything I've ever had to deal with. The rest of the trip was a whirlwind; it was hard putting what happened behind us but I did my best and we had a great time...with some hiccups but we still had a great time. Behind us is my FIL's childhood home.  God, Family, Country. | ||

Welcome back, Dave. Glad you had a good trip & that the scum had a fruitless intrusion. Got my pkg today, btw. Amazing work! The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Glad to hear a good time had on the trip. Very sorry to hear about the break in. Hopefully LE responded and are doing an investigation. I would like to see the perps do bankrobbery type time. That is what they deserve. Great pix. You have some beautiful ladies in your family. Can't speak to the guys.  "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Looks like a good time was had by all. Sorry you had to go back and deal with your shop. Hope the fucking dirtbags who broke into your store get their hands cut off. I'm sure it was frustrating thousands of miles away...

Very nice! Sounds like a memorable, meaningful trip. Very sorry to hear about the break-in. Reprehensible that the just-us authorities that be consider it acceptable given your earlier indications that it was known that these break-ins were going around - if the just-us department are not criminalizing these actions, the least they can do it help protect further victims. Disgusting that they enable it. It's weird to have the public defender and prosecuting sides both protect criminals. Hope recovery was smooth and the scum buckets get their just karma.

Awesome and also UGH. As a man of action, I know you were beyond frustrated seeing those eedjots in YOUR store. Hope they get what's coming to them and that the clean-up and restoration is as painless as possible. The trip sounds amazing and I imagine you had some banging food.  ***************** Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin | |||

Dave, Happy you and your family were able to track your FIL history in person. Sounds like you all had a great time which is well deserved. As for the low life cretins who trashed your store and the sad state of affairs in Kalifornia regarding crime deterrence and prosecution, you have my sympathy. Its maddening and sickening to say the least. Thankfully we're not so afflicted here in flyover country.

What a fascinating trip. I'm glad you were able to make it. I am very sorry you had to suffer through a break-in while away. It's a terrible thing to feel so far away from something you worked hard to build. If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. | |||

Damn, this is the second time I've heard about your store being burglarized.  | |||

Sounds like an amazing trip! And fuck those assholes that busted into your store! ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.
