robbed

[rm]

Briefly.

Our house was robbed. Gone is jewlery, electronics, etc.

In many ways we were very lucky.

We're both fine and safe. The cats are fine. Patty had her laptop with her. And they missed a few not insignificant things. Some of the things they did take are one of a kind items, easy to track if they end up on Ebay.

I'm now back at work finishing work. Patty is waiting for the evidence collection squad (we already talked to the cops and the detectives).

We'll stay at my mother's tonight and get window guards installed tomorrow which is a financial hit I can't even make myself think about right now.

I'm some mix of sad and angry and in shock and trying not to feel guilty or weird. I'm doing pretty good. Patty's coping (she's the one that came home to find it) really great.

But after a week like this, it's hard not to wonder what I did to deserve this.

Patty says we'll have a streak of good luck now.

If nothing else, we're now forced to clean the bedroom once and for all.

Is your fencing gear safe?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[imaginarycircus.livejournal.com]

Oh no. I can't believe you have this on top of everything else. I'm so sorry. Did you have renter's insurance? *hopes*

[rm.livejournal.com]

No.

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

Oh dear gods.

I'm glad that you and the cats are okay, and horrified that you've been put through this.

I hope that Patty's proven right!

[fleur.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you are safe!!

Curious though, shouldn't your landlord pay for the window guards??

[miep.livejournal.com]

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

Jesus. I'm glad you're both okay and that they missed some things, but I'm so sorry.

it's great that you, Patty and the cats are all ok, but I'm so so sorry to hear about this, on top of everything else on your plate recently!

[copperwise.livejournal.com]

Dammit. I'm so sorry. Be safe.

[lllvis.livejournal.com]

gaaah. that sucks. I'm sorry to hear it happened to y'all.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're safe.

[tantra-cat.livejournal.com]

Oh! How terrible. I am so glad you are safe, but how very violating...

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

:(

you're a lot calmer than i woud be...

do you have renters' insurance?

[imaginarycircus.livejournal.com]

I asked her up thread and they don't. :(

[shadowsound.livejournal.com]

oh no! I'm glad you two are all right though

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

God, how awful. I'm so glad you and Patty and the kitties are OK.

So sorry you have to deal with this now on top of everything else. I hope the police can track the items.

I have been where you are

[newwaytowrite.livejournal.com]

I, like Patty was the one to find the place in disarray. It is unnerving. Are cats were not even 9 weeks old. They were fine. Curled up together on the kitchen table. The two of them are what kept me somewhat together until Sweetie got home and the police arrived.

Be prepared to have a point about 6 weeks from now when you find your ability to focus and your tolerance for disruptive individuals in a group setting requiring listening skills to be at an all time low.


That you and Patty are safe is of more value than stuff. Stay close to each other-it will help.

[gaaneden.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry to hear about that. Seriously.

[weyrdchic.livejournal.com]

upstart_crow's gf here. I keep meaning to reply on here and get to know you more, so I hope it's not weird sending you my thoughts and best wishes, but sending them anyway. I hope you can maybe recover some of it or something, and that your weeks after this aren't shit. :( That totally sucks.

:wraps her arms around you: God honey I'm so sorry!!! I can't even imagine how upset you are. What did the police say? Is there a chance they think they can recover anything?
