Not Again!

[hrj]

What is this? Our regular "every three years HRJ gets burglarized" schedule? This time, in addition to the laptop, they took the safe (which they appear to have wheeled off inside the recycling garbage can, which is also missing) and the digital camera. I say "they" because the safe is pretty darn heavy -- probably around 100 pounds -- and there aren't any drag marks to the door. They came in through a window and carted things off through the back door. Interestingly, they seem to have squeezed the job in between when the downstairs tenant went to bed at 8am and when the contractor showed up around noon. So I'm sitting here making inventories and not wanting to rearrange things before the police show up. (Having called them an hour and a half ago, I'm not feeling patient. But hey, it's only a burglary -- not like it's a murder or anything important.) Rant. Rant. Rant.

That seriously blows. Oh man! I am so sorry.

[shalmestere.livejournal.com]

OMG! I am so sorry to hear that--what a horrible violation!

[kahnegabs.livejournal.com]

Aw jeesh! I'm sorry! That's just not fair! On time is too many. This is awful!

*Hugs* I am so sorry to read this! But they left the desktop, and the backup? (I don't think I even knew you had a safe...)

[hrj.livejournal.com]

The desktop and all its peripherals are cable-locked to the desk. The backup is hidden. The safe was ... unobtrusive (I thought).

Oh, by the way, if you ever get to wondering where your bed-lifts are, you left them at my place.

[scotica.livejournal.com]

Continuing sympathies! Consoling thoughts being sent your way! (Having read your update)

As it happens, I just read your text message about the bed-lifts on my phone this afternoon. Happily, I have two pair so if I need bed-lifts before I see you next I won't be out of luck. Hadn't even noticed I had forgotten them (probably because, other than laundry, the bag has not been unpacked...)

[brooksmoses]

Oh, good grief!

[dame-cordelia.livejournal.com]

That's just lousy. Sorry you have to go through this invasion and loss.

[wulfsdottir.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry.

[vittoriosa.livejournal.com]

Oh, horrid!! I'm so sorry. I hope the thieves drop the safe on their feet and break every little bone so they can't run away before the cops grab 'em. Or similar karmic punishment.

[cellio]

Argh! That sucks.

I hope they gave themselves hernias with the safe and had to abandon it half a block from your house, where you could recover it. (Yeah, I know, but I can wish...)

[acanthusleaf.livejournal.com]

Oh, sh*t! How awful! I'm so sorry. There ought to be a special place in hell for thieves.

[goldenstag.livejournal.com]

Holy cats. That really sucks. I am sorry to hear it.

[klwilliams.livejournal.com]

That so sucks. I'm sorry.

[zeborah]

What they said. :-(

[aureellia.livejournal.com]

I hope they get cholera.

I would totally beat them up for you.

[patoadam]

Ouch! Hope you have a backup. Hope the safe was empty.

[aastg.livejournal.com]

Well, shit. At least they didn't take the library.

[johno.livejournal.com]

Ghods above and below, again.

And they took the whole safe... Gheez.

[cbpotts.livejournal.com]

God, I'm sorry! What a sucky thing to have happen.

[loup_noir]

Sorry to read this. When I got robbed as a kid, back in Las Vegas, it was the creepy feeling of violation that lasted long after the fury of being ripped-off faded. When we got robbed in Lafayette, it was more like a wake-up call. Getting robbed always sucks. I hope they got frustrated by the safe and left it somewhere where the cops can find it.

[xrian.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Ditto to all the above. Not to mention, way to feel safe in your own house -- ick.

[heleninwales.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, that's awful. :(

[anotheranon.livejournal.com]

That's awful! I hope you're able to recover everything!

[theiadora.livejournal.com]

OMG. Sorry that happened. let alone again.. Ouch.

[mbumby.livejournal.com]

Grrrrr!

So sorry to hear it. May everything be recovered. Intact.

May the perps be punished.

May this never happen to you again.
