Re: Hubby was robbed at the gym this morning
I'm so sorry that happened to him. Hopefully the cops can find out who did it and get his stuff back. It's such a sucky feeling to be violated like that.

Oh my gosh, that's just awful. I really hope they find the person who did and your DH can get his stuff back, esp the wedding band, of course.
Personally if I knew my gym were having a rash of robberies, I'd leave my enagement ring at home on days when i was at the gym, even if meant not wearing it to work. But you live, you learn.
I really really hope you can get it back 
ITA I did something similar once and had my stuff stolen. I know how rotten it feels but I learned a lesson about protecting my valuables. In my case they got everything, money, the keys to my home, credit cards and ID. You feel very violated.
The fact that it happened at the gym will prob mean you have no financial recourse through them either. I know every gym I have ever been to has a policy where they are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Good luck, I hope at least the wedding band makes it's way back to you.
ITA.
I hope everything works out for you.

It's an awful feeling to have someone go through your things and take whatever they want.

Re: Hubby was robbed at the gym this morning
I feel awful for him and it sucks that his things were stolen. I hope they get them both back--between the engraving on the band and the serial number on the watch it sounds like you stand a pretty good shot.
I *DO* understand what the others are saying though. If there were a rash of attacks on women in my neighborhood at night, I wouldn't go running at night, KWIM???
Regardless, it doesn't make it any less annoying...and the good news is, your DH is ok.

Re: Hubby was robbed at the gym this morning
Was this LA fitness by any chance?
Okay-
I just read halfway through the thread.. and yes, this is the gym.
My father in law had his truck broken into right in the parking lot. Scumbags robbed his nav system that was in the glove compartment.
Sorry this happened. I hope they get that *******.

Did you ever find out who was responsible for the stealing most of the time? Inside job or members?

As far as I know, it was never an employee.
It was either a member or a gym guest working out on a pass.
We also had a car stolen.
Can't tell you how many members would leave their keys hanging on the key wall WITH those beep beep alarms on them. Someone just took a set of keys off the wall, hit the alarm, found the car and drove off with it.
I was always surprised more cars weren't stolen.

i think its any gym you go to, they all have those signs stating that they are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
in this case though, someone must have known the DH wears a rolex and has a nice ring. You never know who is watching you and staking out your territory. Thieves arent stupid

Re: Hubby was robbed at the gym this morning
When he signed the member agreement, I'm sure it said something in there about the gym not being responsible for personal items. There's signs all over my gym that says so.
My DH left his $300 Bose headphones in his car. We live in a coop so it's a large parking lot. They were in his glove compartment and got stolen, along with a bunch of other things totaling more than $500.. I hold him partially responsible because he should have known better than to leave things like that in his car.
Certain crimes are preventable.

Ok so your husband didnt leave the headphone is plain sight, he took the time to hide them so to speak. I'm sure he must have locked his doors and more than likely put on the car alarm right? He did his part in preventing a crime, took all necessary precautions? Its a known fact that cars are broken into every day. So KNOWING that cars are broken into, even with precautions taken he is going to be partially responsible?? He did his part, the fact that some people have 0 morals doesnt change the fact that precautions were taken.
In the same sense if a woman is walking down the street in a seedy high crime area at 11pm wearing her everyday jewelery and is attacked and raped (say her car broke down and her cell phone was dead and she had no choice but to walk to a phone), is she partially responsible because she was in the area when she KNOWS that its a high crime area. Of course everyone is going to say no, not her fault, so why is it ok to say oh well you knew the locker room had break ins even though you took precautions and locked up your stuff, or you left $300 headphones in your car, or you left your doors unlocked????
Honda Civics are the most stolen car in the US, people still buy them. If your Civic gets stolen its partially your fault because well you know the civics are a thiefs preferred car.
UGGGH I"M DONE

Re: Hubby was robbed at the gym this morning
If she got stuck in the bad part of town through an unfortunate set of circumstances, then that would be a shame and there was nothing she could do about it. If she KNOWS she goes through the bad part of town regularly and she KNEW she needed gas or that her battery was dying, or her tire needed air and she just didn't feel like taking care of it, SHE could have prevented it.
If you sacrifice the safety of yourself or personal belongings for convenience, which is what my husband and yours did, then there are consequences. Sure there are scumbags in the world but we all know that and should act accordingly. Should we have to change our behavior? No. But do we want our stuff stolen? No. So plan accordingly and practice a little common sense. Stuff gets stolen out of cars in parking lots and lockers at the gym. Don't leave your nice stuff in those places.
ETA: I love how everyone goes to the raped woman scenario, as though that's even REMOTELY the same as having something stolen from a locker or car.

Re: Hubby was robbed at the gym this morning
Sorry this happened! But I don't think he can sue the gym as they aren't responsible for stolen or lost property.

Re: Hubby was robbed at the gym this morning
I'm surprised at the number of a-hole responses to this. Sorry this happend to your husband and that you're not getting more supportive posts.
Houses get broken into all the time, am I partly responsible for my stuff getting stolen because I should have known that it *might* happen. Stupid me for keeping my valuables in my house. Damn..... maybe I should give my kids away. Kidnappings occur alot too.

A house is WAY different than a locker at the gym or a car. And if there's a rash of break-ins on your block, maybe put your jewelry somewhere else until they stop. And don't leave the box from your new big screen TV on the lawn. At the park, don't leave your kid unattended.
There's unfortunate and unforseeable events and then there's things that could have been prevented with common sense.
ETA: My window was broken and my purse was stolen at the gym a few years ago. I was p!$$ed but said hey, it was my own fault for leaving in there. I didn't asking anyone to feel sorry for me because I should have known better.

You obviously didn't *get* what I was saying. Truth of the matter is- telling someone, "too bad so sad it's your fault" in this instance is just insensitive and does nothing. An "oh man, that sucks, hope he gets his stuff back" is usually more appropriate and more welcome from someone who's obviously upset.
What comes from telling someone they're partly to blame for getting their stuff stolen (especially something as sentimental as a wedding band) other than hurt feelings?
Unless that's exactly what you were looking to do....?

Helping (since this if Families Helping Families) the poster realize that when her husband gets his Rolex back or buys another one, maybe she should tell him that he shouldn't bring it to places where people steal your stuff.

My interpretation of LIF based on this thread and others:
Don't tell OP your REAL feelings in their post.
Just start a spin-off on it! (Cuz it goes over better then!).

WOW ok wow. You know I usually dont remember a lot of posters on these boards, but you my dear I do. I remember you telling me last summer after I posted how someone was taking my recycle cans and leaving everything else on the floor for me to clean, i aksed her to stop she told me to seperate my cans for her which I did not and I went as far as to crush my cans and she called me a b8tcxh or something and again you had some pretty nasty things to say about me. I dont know what it is I have done or said to you previous but I find you to be a bit obnoxious. You really have some set of ball$ on you to say something so snotty. I did not ask for your sympathies as I was venting, you posted your opinion and thats fine but to say something so rude is beyond your opininon.

Re: Hubby was robbed at the gym this morning
I'm pretty sure I wasn't nasty either time and I have nothing against you personally. I am responding to the post, not the poster.
Last time, I just said that the way you worded your original post made it seem like you were being spiteful. If you recall, i also apologized when I found out other details that you had left out of your original post and took it back.
And as I pointed out last time, since I have no idea who you are in real life and you have no idea who I am, why do you care so much about what I'm posting?!
