Cosmic ChrisC Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Ah man. Sorry to hear about this. Geez. If only the doggie could talk. Urgh. I wish the cops would spend more time figuring out thefts like this. They always seem to be too busy with other things. I say that you guys should try to solve this one on your own. Two awesome brains like yours can do this!Were there any footprints in the snow? Musta been.When was the last time you used the hot tub? When could this have happened?

headymamamyrna Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Its not about the money thinking this way.Its about a thief that will do this again and not care about other people.His life isn't worth much if thats how he lives it.He wouldnt care about your life if you were in his wayIts true no one needs to deal with a dead creep on their lawn.

badams Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Too much of a jolt and he/she would have stunk from the burning. It might have been better they felt the shock and in running from your premises was hit by a car or truck. Thereby they were off your property and not your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 HAhaha, I know Myrna, as I laid in bed awake pretty much all night I kept picturing a body in our yard with a smoldering sweater or something. Can't say I would have felt too bad for the facker if he got shocked.I think the guy was aware that we had a GFI which likely tripped when the bolt clippers sliced the power cable. Who would know that? An installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Don't expect the police to do anything.One time my place got broken into and the guy stole a few hundred cd's. I found some of them at a used place within an hour of the break-in. The cd place had the dudes address but wouldn't give it to me. I waited at the store for an hour for the cops to show up. They said that they knew the guy and he lived near me (and thus near the cd store). They said they'd get on it as soon as they could. Strangely, when they went to the person's house two weeks later they couldn't find any of my cd's and didn't charge the guy.Getting robbed sucks, and I feel for you guys. I found the most disturbing part of getting robbed were the unreasonable, uncharacteristic, and unstoppable images of revenge that kept scrolling through my brain.

Ms.Huxtable Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 So I called Mermaid Pools who we purchased the tub from several years ago and who we also had replace the circuit board in November.I told them that I have a crazy service call for them and explained the situation. I said "Have you ever had this type of service issue before? Have you ever even heard of such a thing?" and she said she heard of it happening only once before, several years ago.I figured if she said it happened frequently that I would suggest she interrogate her service technicians, but because it doesn't happen to their knowledge how can I blame the service guy?If it happened to other Mermaid spa customers, they'd report it to the spa service department and there is only one in all of the Outaouais.Weird, weird, weird.Oh and Thanks Velvet, that about sums up how I'm feeling.

AWeeJig Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 That's brutal guys. What a dirty lil scheme. Do you have any kind of warranty on the tub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Bouche, you posted details of this circuit board replacement, along with photos, here a couple of months ago.If your "In Rainbows" gets stolen next, I'd suspect a jambands.ca user or lurker. When it comes to property crimes, cops are useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Who would know that? An installer.Or anyone with a little knowledge of electrical, like perhaps someone setting up a grow-op. Honestly, figuring that shit out doesn't take much in the know-how department.[color:red][edit to add]I sorta skimmed over this, was it the circuit breaker or hut tub controls?Regardless, if they were going to go through that much trouble, I'm sure they had a set of testers with them to see if it was live.

Seriously, I can't beleive people even bought it.BTW...My hot-tub is working great...I had it installed just the other day...Guy I bought it off of craigslist said it had just fallen off the truck...Didn't quite understand what that meant.
