sawed off is the only thing missing from ur home security :P

fact of fences and dogs makes me think the person is in your compound.. i bet they don't want you shooting porn

handguns are not my thing. but they are stupid expensive here, around $100k pesos ($3000usd) to obtain legally. and if you're a foreigner that is the only way to go. all the locals are strapped and they are not required to have papers or anything official. if you have guns they will steal those first before anything

well they are definitely in the neighborhood or have been casing the neighborhood. one of the downfalls of living in an isolated area in a fortress is people assume you have good shit, and lots of it to steal. homes with safes and whatnot. they were probably shocked to see a nearly empty house with no tv and a shitty computer. could be neighborhood handyman type of thing, the lawn cutter, etc. for the reason of breakins alone i stopped having maidservice once i moved to this new house cause i heard the maids often steal ur shit. eh well

i got a few, but i need to buy another camera first :thumbsup

Just got back from 12 years in the DR.

Those locals are required to have papers too, they just don't. Dominicans don't ever leave the house empty, there is always somebody there. Cause they know thieves will be in there the minute they see you leave.

Why were there not bars on the bathroom window?

Just saw your post on the DR board, be careful in that town, bad shit happens there all the time.

And that DR board is filled with some of the most idiotic people who ever owned a computer. I advise you to change your username on there so its not similar to this one, because those fools do not need to know what you do for a living. They are idiots and some are idiots of the dangerous sort.

I have hardly ever gotten a useful reply to a post there, unless I researched offline and wrote it myself.

If something bad happens to you because you shoot content in the DR you wont be the first or the last. The only people I know who were successful with that were patient enough to leave the country before publishing anything.

if the dogs are angry-like it's gotta be someone there.. sorry to hear :(

I would screw the long haired. Get rid of the other one.

find it weird you wear no clothes?

point well taken.

Here's why the girl would go back if she was in on it:

She figured he would be out of there by then and wanted to see your reaction first hand so she knew what was taken and what her cut was going to be, or the whole thing may have been based on the idea that her photos were on your camera and she wanted to make sure they were taken out of circulation.

Another thing: there need to be bars on all the windows. This will still not stop them from wrapping the bars in blankets to suppress sound and popping them off with a car jack but it will slow them down quite a bit and weed out the Haitian cat-burglars who cant typically afford car jacks or blankets.

she went back because if there was a struggle she would help kill you.

good advice but shimmy thinks it's a great idea to make everyone know what he does. he will be in jail or dead by the time this is over.

shim are you in dominican republic?

Can't you read?

dogs are worthless

:1orglaugh

I though House got robbed!

Glad you're OK Shimmeister

Maybe the dogs knew him....fired any gardeners/handymen/tradesmen lately?

Yeah, looks like you shot her outside some in view of neighbors. The fucker was prolly sittin in one of those windows with his meat out waiting for you to leave to grab that camera.

Yup, had to know him

If he had had a gun he would be sitting in some sticking third-world jail cell explaining to the local cops why he killed a poor unarmed thief.

best explanation so far

i did film the girl outside just prior to leaving, was probably too involved with the camera to notice anything else. i've already got tons of pics of this girl so the camera/card theft doesn't add up. anyway no big deal life goes on :thumbsup
