Ah jeez Tom, my most sincere apologies man. I know where your coming from, my family was robbed back when I was younger, thankfully the guy wasn’t still there and we didn’t loose much, but still it’s mentally devastating. Just remember, you have the entire NG community backing you up (half of the earth’s young adults).. So odds have it if he’s not caught he’ll run into one of us and wind up with that ps2 where the sun don’t shine!

Perhaps it’s time to invest in a fully auto meteoric pico bot to greet guests and brutally murder the unwelcome? That or buy stamper a gun.. errmm perhaps not he’d probably wind up shooting him self… Whatever the case, were all glad you guys are ok, Best wishes on catching that dirt bag.

This is not just some mere robbery this is something more. So powerful its complexicity will melt anyones soul who cannot handle its meaning. Flashback: a few weeks ago, the thread of the HQ having a mod meet. This was just a simple mod party with people having a good time. The ps2 was running warm as the system stayed bright. This man stamper saw indeed may have just been a simple hoodlum looking for some quick cash, but look beyond the theft. Stamper saw the man and thought he was just a friend of Tom's. When in really this man was playing with his mind. This infiltration of the HQ is a sign my friends. That as a power newgrounds has risen above the bar. A matter of one containing its own self worth. This was handled very well and could have been much worse. As they say one blink of the eye can change your future. This issue may one day save alot of money or run ins with later problems. Sometimes we must take a bruise, but avoid broken bones.

This is just an example of fate, and it was on the side of the good souls of newgrounds. What comes around goes around.

Damn that son of a bitch. At least no one got hurt though, that's the most important thing. But it still sucks that he got your PS2, I caught my neighbor trying to steal my GameCube when he came over to my house for dinner once, and he was like 8 years old. My parents don't let him in our basement anymore (which is like a little game room in our house where the GameCube is located).

Let's all catch thumbtacks on our bare eyes!

That's why I consider myself lucky... He was a tall guy, at least 6'5"... And I haven't been getting to the gym as much as I used to. You like to think your invincible, but he probably would have kicked my ass. At least now I have motivation to get back to the gym.

You should carry guns in the office. Well, if you can get a license. It must suck to feel unsafe at the office.

Woah, that's pretty crazy Tom. But really, the cop saw him on the way there and didn't think there was something strange about a guy walking around with a PS2 and controllers attached to it on the train tracks in the rain? Well atleast you guys are getting serious with security now, but it does take away from the laid back and fun feel of Newgrounds now that you're becoming a hardcore lock up.

I hope they catch the guy... Can you claim on insurance or are you exempt from that because of the door being open?
The insurance has a deductable and reporting it would raise our rates anyway, so it's not worth it.

Yeah, that's shitty. Plus it would be hard to explain why Stamper just let the guy go about his business without any intensive questioning. A loud alarm system would not be effective in your case, since the door is open. It would be better protection at night.

Cameras, on the other hand, would deter. Especially if they were obvious. I've done a lot of security consulting and I have a lot of friends in private firms (devices and personnel.) So if you'd like, I can come up with a full layout for cameras, mirrors, and added locks and deadbolts. PM me if you want it.

And, most insurance that covers from theft tends to get a little cheaper when you've got extra security. That could be a plus.

You don't need camera's just common sense. We don't usually learn this lesson till it happens, but just keep all the doors locked and if someone wants to come in, they are gonna have to ring the bell.

Luckily, no one got hurt. Would have been a sad day if Stamper got his ass kicked. What a cocky guy though. I mean, robbed in the day and he just played it off casualy?

Tom, you should buy a gun. I'm serious, if that guy gets away, I'm sure he'll come back. Just get like an awesome shotgun or some other defensive weapon to fend of criminals.

funny thing too. Just this morning (around 6:30) i thought i heard someone breaking into my house. I was all freaked out (because if the sun's down, they want to kill you and aren't looking for stuff) so i ran down stairs before calling the cops to make sure it's a man, and it's my cat, knocking over stuff.

So, i do know how you feel, (not the freaked out part, the "OMFG WHAT!?!?!?" part lol)

That fucking blows.

I have heard about robbery recently, however, it's never happened to me. Even though, it still stinks, and i hate hearing about it. Robbers deserve to be shot.

at least it wasn't anything too nasty, you're a big business, so you can always replace the stolen stuff, which wasn't vital anyway. and there's still a chance the thief can be found. It sucks nevertheless.

The worst thing, is the feeling of being violated - you will always have that slight touch of paranoia, and the thought that you have to be more careful.

awful luck Tom, i hope something like this doesn't happen again.

I hardly ever come here anymore....

I wish that makes me feel any better, but it does not. How can people live in this hazardous world? How can I survive in this ridiculous world? It makes no sense. Is it reality to live a miserable life? Do dreams just fade away? Do I even have a future?! How can you manage to survive this confusing system. Maybe, I do not deserve to live here. When I landed on Earth, I thought it would be better than my old planet. It looks like it is also a hectic planet to live. Too many rules, too many hidden stuff that I need to do. I get tortured physically on my old planet, but this planet tortures me mentally and socially. Nothing is easy for me. Even I could escape to another planet, or I can just end my life immediately. How can people live? How can I live? I do not deserve life if I do not know what it takes to survive.

How BIG is the NG Office ?
You make it sound as if it's HUGE ! Maybe I didn't get it right, but was Tom in the office when Stamper said hi to the guy ? Anyways.
It sucks. No doubt about it.
Hope the police will do something about it.
