Oh dude , I'm so sorry, that really sucks the big one.
Not to sound like a dick but, lessons learnt eh?
Is there no possible way you can recoup the loss?

at the moment i dont know. there's a problem which i am having trouble figuring out how to handle.

the back door's doorknob/lock had been recently replaced by the landlord. what i discovered (after the robbery) is that even if you lock it from inside, it didnt lock properly.

which is why when i came home that night it was the only door that was open plus the gate behind it.

so what should i do?

ask for compensation from the landlord? (and if he refuses, take him to court?)

If it was replaced recently by the landlord, he should have checked that it worked properly. And because it didn't, and you didn't know there was a problem with it, he is liable I think. You would need to speak to rent tribunals or someone like that to see what they say. IMO he would unlikely give you compensation, but you can always ask.

I'd suggest ask him about it first and if you don't get the response you want, seek legal advice.

yeah i had a look online and i need to consult with the OCBA rent tribunals which i will have to do in the morning.

i finally accounted for everything missing and the total loss is $4000+ approximately. All those little things added up in the end! Which made me look at my Transformers collection and think 'damn this is giving me such a headache'

i'm now organising moving back into my mums home -_-
i was paying $150 per week (for 2yrs now) and i just cant afford to find a new place which would probably be $250+

f**k my life.

I would think he is liable because he didn't get a locksmith in to do it..the question I would of asked him, are you a qualified locksmith?

I would also try and contact the local tenancy tribunal/ombudsman in your state and find out where you stand because I would think he would have a case to answer...
