To the OP: That sucks. Sorry it happened.

At 65%, I'd say it's a bit more than half... at least in his case. And it isn't just California... any state with community property laws will usually rake one spouse (typically the husband) over the coals.

Even in states without community property laws, a judge's decision can "legally" snatch a fair (or unfair) portion of one party's personal assets and give them to another.

Of course... there are ways to do "end runs" (as it were) around such "problems."

If one has a mind to do so.

of course. as i am from europe, the partner who was cheated on
is usually in a better position in front of the judge.
no wonder there are so many prenubs in the states :)

Arrived home one morning from a late night out and discovered that the front door to my apt. was open. Quickly realized that thieves had entered through a poorly secured rear window. Their haul: my PS2 and about 10 games; a digital camera; Christmas candy; a Reebok bag (which they used to haul their loot); and FOUR DVDs -- Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Kill Bill, and Pulp Fiction.

Seriously, they left behind about 200 other DVDs, many of which were still unopened, and only took those four Tarantino films. Despite how pissed off I was, I had to laugh at that.

I posted a thread about this a couple of years back...

Re: Stolen DVDs
 

at least they had a good film taste :)
but the irony seems to be that crooks enjoy films about crooks :)

Re: Stolen DVDs
 

I'm kind of appalled that they stole your Christmas candy. It's not every day of the year that can be replaced!

Re: Stolen DVDs
 

While in college, my friend and four of his roommates decided to travel down to Florida for the Orange Bowl. This left his one estranged roommate and another one that worked at Best Buy with me.

These guys never locked their house up which of course is really stupid in a college town. One night I was hanging out with my coworker at their house He got tired and went to bed so I decided to surf the net a bit before I went home. So its about 2AM when I leave.

We had been talking about pranking our friend in some way. We thought about buying a bunch of cheap porn and taping it all over his room (turns out porn is expensive!!). So the next morning we were going to grab something to eat and I got on his computer. I turn to Patrick and say, "Did you go hide all of Ty's DVDs?"

He just looked at me very confused. I said that his DVDs were not where they normally are. He then, trying to reason this in his mind said that he might have moved them. I was extremely confused too so I had to reason through this and see if I could remember actually seeing them before he left.

Everything else in his room was in place. Guitar, DVD player, TV, amp, CDs, books, etc. So after several minutes of trying to figure out what happened we finally realize somebody walked in and took all of them.

The next morning we also realize his laundry basket was missing (for transport of the loot) and after he returned we also found out the guy stole his check book and wrote two relatively cheap checks.

The police didn't do shit. They caught the guy on surveillance camera and that was the last we heard of it. My buddy was refusing to push the issue with the police. I was fucking furious but the issue died.

The end.

But imagine the creepy feeling of me being all alone in this somewhat big house, surfing the internet, while the guy was probably waiting for me to leave.

Ick.
