Well today i came home and saw my door open, saw alot of stuff on the floor and i ran to my room/Studio opened the door and Almost everything was gone 
My MIDI Controller, My CDJ 2000, My Studio Monitors, My Kick Drum :(, and my laptop i have worked hard for this stuff since i was 16 im 18 now and now its all gone, but i still have my PC and Ableton/Cubase/Reason and some crappy PC Speakers guess i have to start over
Any advice or words of wisdom would be good
But Damn Sucks to be me
Mate that honestly sucks BIG time! Howie had a similar situation happen too, i’m sure he’ll tell you all about it.
Do you have insurance? What did the police say?

Howie had something like Two mac’s an xbox, wide screen tv and his wifes jewelry plus a load of other **** go missing.
egg2 had loads of his stuff taken from him by the police while he was playing a gig.
there have been several people on the forum that have been robbed, i know it sucks big but i guess unless you constantly work with headphones then the problem with what we do means we advertise that we have equipment to any passing crook.
i need to get some insurance to be fair my policy ran out a while back and i didn’t update
sorry to hear that bro ! but if you have a Pc and got your DAWs i am sure you can still work on tracks , i dont know if you will be able to do some mastering since they took your speakers but i really feel for you man .

Atleast they ddint take my xbox
Yeah hopefully with time i will regain what i lost but for now i gotta finish school and work on some tracks ill master them once i get some monitors 
Ugh damn
sorry to hear the bad news man
Ugh, that really sucks dude. Just know, while yeah it sucks that you might loose a few bucks, stuff can always be replaced and while it sucks that you lost some of your work, what really matters is the skills you have obtained from doing all of that work.
Really sorry to hear that mate, happened to me where my decks, mixers, JD800 and Atari (yep along time ago), with some other non music tec stuff was robbed while we were on holiday.
Its so annoying
Thats a right fcuker fella.
I remember a few years back one of mates had all his DJ stuff nicked with aload of my vinyl I had left at his, we got lucky thought as found out who it was and went around there house with a transit van full of people and put the 4 cunts in hospital, safe to say now that no fooker around here will go anywhere near our things now!
Hey man, yeah the same shiz happened to me too. They broke into my house at about 10:30 in the morning and took just about everything. APC40, Macbook, 10 day old iMac, XBox and all my games. All that sucks, but the worst is the bastards took jewelry that was given to my wife from my and her father (that passed away). All in all, it was a shade over $12,000 worth of stuff that was taken.
We had home owners insurance and they only ended up giving us $8,000 or so. Since then, we have gotten an alarm just in case. I really have to get some suplimental insurance just in case. I know its hard man. The worst part is that you feel violated and almost not safe in your own home.
Im sorry for your loss dude and I wish you nothing but the best.

Damn you lost alto too Sorry
yeah man i have worked hard for my stuff i jsut turned 18 and it took me 2 years to obtained all about 17,000 dollars lost We just called the insurance and they said they can return 7,000 So i guess i cna use it to regain some stuff
Insurance companies just seem to be as bigger theives as the ones that break into your home - only they get away with it
Dont settle. Try to get more out of them.
7000 for stuff that cost around 17000 ? What a shame ! Insurance companies really pisses me off. Oh well, let’s think positive… it’s still better than nothing, heh ?
I feel really sorry for you, mate…
Dude, that is some straight bull****. You need to go back at them and fight. you can at least get another $3000 out of them. It won’t hurt to try would it?
****, I would cry on the phone. I would make them feel like absolute dog crap.

Sorry to hear about your theft and the insurance company outcome
My daughter dropped my macbook a few weeks a go and even though we are covered for accidental damage the insurance company are being really difficult about giving us any money.
I had to go and get a new macbook pro as I needed something to use, could have done without dropping the cash on that.
Anyone got experience of specialist ‘extra’ insurance companies to protect our gear in the UK?

got no experience with specialists but when i dropped the wifes laptop we got 100% of the money, infact we got more than what we paid for it. they gave us the full price of what they cost new when they first came out (we had bought ours in the jan sale) so we ended up with £1598 for a laptop that we actually only paid £799.
that was with dirrect line but we have been with them for years, they have told me before that none of my vinyl, decks or dj gear is covered though. the girl on the phone told me at the time that your policy will change from area to area depending on what the high crime rates relate to. i live on a housing estate where dj equipment goes missing on a daily basis so they don’t cover it for my area lol seems to me that you can be easily covered against the crimes that are less likely to happen but the ones you want to be covered against you’re gonna get stung for 
i’ve always found the best insurance against crooks is to know them all it’s better to have them on your side than against you… as they old saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer
