Tragedy

[Rob]

Update please?? The suspense is killing me!

I know, not a good sign tho. I would think if they came to we would have heard about it first thing this morning

You can always stack charges!

Of course. But the odds of the perpetrator being caught are pretty slim, unfortunately. Horrible times we live in. Simply disgusting.

This is one of the most terrible things I have heard. I hope you have some sort of insurance or something. Like home owners or renters. Not even sure if that would cover something like that. Sucks!

Unfortunately insurance only covers inanimate objects, animals are usually specifically excluded from coverage.

Good to know. I own a home and have all the insurance and such. I am actually ignorant to exactly what it covers. I should read up on that. :banghead:

Similar things apply in car insurance... only items common to the use of the vehicle AS a vehicle (Sub woofer permanently installed, cd player/stereo, speakers, GPS NOT on your Cell phone) are covered if somebody breaks in OR you are liable/responsible for the accident (did damage to yourself/your own items). If somebody breaks into your car or you wreck your car and your pets are injured, your car insurance will not pay for their damages/injuries. Pets, unless pet specific insurance exists and is purchaced for them under their own policy, a car insurance policy, will typically regard your pets no different as they would your purse/credit card/laptop you thought was well enough hidden under your seat: as items not covered under your car policy. They might be items covered under home-owners, but as already mentioned, pets are a different thing entirely.

Just some things to keep in mind regarding insurance and your pets (and personal belongings). Read your home/car insurance policy and understand it.

Sorry for taking so long to get back on here. All 3 of the snakes were alive when i left for work this morning. My 2 younger snakes really looked dead but starting moving about half hour after heating them up. And as for the police catching somebody i really doubt it. Since nobody was hurt and nobody wad home when it happened it isnt a priority fir them. I live on the south side of Chicago. Anybody who knows about murder rates knows what i mean im just glad the snakes are alive. Im going to keep an eye on them to make sure they dont develop any issues.

There is insurance for pets, but I don't know if it covers this kind of thing (pets getting stolen and/or injured in accidents/theft). There's insurance for horses that WOULD cover that, but I don't think so for other pets. Would have to look that up...

And unfortunately pet insurance is EXPENSIVE too. None of my pets are insured any longer because it became prohibitively expensive and I preferred to put that money into a savings account for when I need it, instead of spending it on a "maybe". If I remember correctly (it's been awhile so I might be remembering incorrectly), it was something like $200-300 every month per cat or dog. Varies depending on where you live, age of pet, breed, etc. I don't even know what horse insurance costs because I've never even considered it.

So glad to hear they are alive! I hope they come back to full health for you too!

I know what you mean about this not being a priority to the police. I don't think the crime rates in my city are any where near Chicago (as bad as it feels sometimes...), and even so when my house was broken into a couple years ago the police actually told me, "Not much we can do about it." Nothing was stolen, no one hurt, no suspects. Just the way it goes sometimes, unfortunately.

Are you renting? Is there anything you can do to make your place safer to help prevent this from happening again? I'm just afraid maybe the people who did this will come back, since they already been through your place and know what you have now.
