Those of you who know me know that I am a happy-go-lucky kind of person. You would also know that I am a 911 dispatcher. Tonight I arrived home from my shift to one of the most horrible scenes a single woman can encounter at 2:00 am. I am an avid wooter and I have purchased more than my share of all things woot. As I approched my front door, I noticed a woot package waiting for me. Due to the excitement of my woot box, I neglected to notice the previously mentioned scene. I look up and notice that, although my storm door is closed as usual, my actual front door is wide open. I had been robbed. They took everything. Everything Woot and the one "gadget" that signified the greatest accomplishment in my life thus far...my graduation present from my parents...my 50 inch plasma screen tv and bluray player. I actually felt my knees buckle as I dialed 911. It took a lot for me to go back to school at my age and get three degrees in forensic science in a little over two years...but I did it. However, as I waited for police to arrive, I wondered what horrors would greet me beyond the threshhold of my front door...it only got worse...everything I had gotten for the ones that I love...all Woot...were gone. However, the one that nearly killed me was the present I had purchased for my brother-in-law in California...the ESPN Ultimate remote. This was sure to elicit a "thank you, you're he best sister-in-law ever" response on Christmas morning! Now, it's gone. I don't make much at my job and need help. My birthday is tomorrow and all I got was robbed...I am utterly distraught...the windows of my house are smashed and I am locked in the only secure room in my house...yet, all I can think about is the remote and how it could have been the coolest gift under the tree. Please Woot Gods, fellow wooters or anyone else with a moral compass...please help me!

Seriously, guys. Please help me! I will be meeting my neice for the second time since she was born this Christmas and she's 2 1/2. I drew my brother-in-law's name and when I saw the ESPN Ultimate remote control with wifi...well, I knew I would finally have "that gift". You know the one...where everyone secretly wishes you had pulled their name? This burglary was bad enough...everything is gone. And I don't have the money to replace the remote. If the Woot Gods are listening...check out my account and see just how loyal a customer I am! I once told someone that my credit card bill looked like a transcript from the "Arsenio Hall" show..."woot, woot, woot, woot"! So, if you could find it within yourselves to help me out...well, I will, no doubt always be a loyal stalker (I mean shopper)...dedicated to Woot and Woot alone! I'm begging now...and I hate that!

Hey guys! Thank you so much for the support! If anyone has ever doubted (or believed what they tell you on their own "customer service" page)...stop whatever you're doing and pay attention! WOOT ROCKS (and cares, but "cares" in all caps looked funky). As I said before, I am a loyal Wooter (my therapist called it extreme attachment disorder...then I showed her the website...no one has heard from her since!)
I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around. Hopefully, the people who did this will get their's one way or another...in fact, my sister has offered her services to...how shall I put this...induct them into the small and very "testes" community of eunochs. Sounds good to me!
But the Woot Gods have taken pity on this wayward sheep and has gone way above and beyond the call...which I didn't know they were making since the number on my account is the cell phone I let my mother use! So, sorry guys, but thank you, thank you from the bottom of my warm...albeit electronically stark...heart! You are truly the best!

j/k ... so wut is it yer asking for? a new remote?
Oh yeah...I'm so attractive now! Especially to someone who is recently divorced. Here's my pick-up line..."Hey, I was robbed and they took all my stuff. I hear you recently lost half of yours. Wanna try your luck at ending up with 1/4 of what you originally owned? Call me!"

The only thing about this clip is that they say "home owners". First, I rent! Thank goodness because I wouldn't be able to get out of here in this market. Second, I'm single....and LOVE it! But you know how the media is! When they showed up for an "interview"...I high-tailed it inside until they left!
