Crackhead copper thieves hit my house, crowbarred open back door, clipped all the copper pipe in the house. Except they missed a bunch. Also they stole some tools, but not all the tools. Goddamn crackheads, stealing shit incompetently.

So that's maybe a hundred bucks they'll make. Maybe more for the power drill. And for me, it's going to be... $500 for the tools, probably $900 for the new pipes, god knows how much for a new door and doorframe. And I don't think my insurance policy covers property theft, since they don't usually offer that for vacant properties. Blargh.

What? I don't understand the last part. If you're living there then how can it be vacant?

I'm not living there yet. It's so crappy in condition as to be borderline uninhabitable, so I'm living elsewhere while I fix it up.

Oh I see. Can you argue that since you're in the process of renovating it that the policy ought to cover the theft?
