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.

So sorry to hear about this. Glad you & Patty are alright, as well as animal companions.
Do what you need to do to feel & be safe.

I will keep you both in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry this happened, please take care of each other. Cats OK too?

Oh my god! What is up with stuff lately? I'm glad you guys are safe in any case. If you need any help or anything feel free to call.

Wow. Just wow.

I'm so sorry. :-(

I'm so sorry. That's just horrible. I really hope you two end up having a minimum of repercussions from this. *comforts*

I agree that I don't understand why your landlord isn't on the hook for the window guards in the first place. :( Don't forget to put up paypal if you want some help with those.

thanks for checking in. M and I are thinking of you. I'm so glad that you and Patty and the kitties are safe. Please consider the broomstick guards -- they do work, and could give you a little leeway in finances while you deal with insurance and crap. you do have insurance?

Oh, shit. *hugs* Good vibes to you from over here. We're having crime problems in our neighborhood, too, but nobody's house got robbed (so far).

Take care. Be safe. We'll be thinking of you.

Let me know if I can help.

[tlatzomia.livejournal.com]

Shit. I'm glad you guys are OK. :-\

Glad to hear the living beings are okay. This is just a horrid week. I hope things get better quickly. Tell your mom Chag Sameach.

Oh, shit! I'm so sorry. :( Glad to hear that you two and your cats are safe!

[zillah975]

Oh, holy crap, that's awful! I'm SO glad y'all and the animals are all all right, though. Keeping extra good thoughts for you -- I hope they find at least the important stuff! (And that the good luck starts asap.)

I'm glad you are all are safe. May you have the best of luck moving forward.

[Also, I don't know if this would work for you but I got bars put on my windows by saying I babysit (which is a slight stretch of the truth considering how rarely I do it) and because of that I have children in the house meeting the age requirements wherein the landlord is legally required to put them on--though there is paperwork to submit to make this happen.]

Oh damn, I'm sorry. You didn't do anything to deserve this. It's just some freelance socialist plying his (or her) trade. At least you're both physically OK.

[micheleonelonly.livejournal.com]

omg. Im so glad you guys are ok and your cats

[schpahky.livejournal.com]

Oh god. I am so so sorry. What a violation. And, not that there is ever a good time, but what a time.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I have to say, at first I didn't feel that way. Let's just say that today, I am getting it. And I am not liking it.

[deslea.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. :(

[sinonmybody.livejournal.com]

oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!

[editrx.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you and the cats are okay, but oh, how awful. I'm so sorry this has been so incredibly bad a time for you, and now this.

[starkyld.livejournal.com]

Crap. I'm really sorry to hear this.

[iterum.livejournal.com]

Yikes! So sorry to hear it. :(

[feyandstrange.livejournal.com]

My deepest sympathies, and best wishes for dealing with the rest of the week. It's a horrid violated feeling, but it heals.

I am sorry that you are going through all this.
