Addendum to earlier post

Apparently, honesty is crap. And now is a really good time to use my swear words about a certain two or three people out there in the world:

because those BASTARDS BURGLARIZED OUR HOUSE!!

A note to these burglars or others hoping to profit: Don't come back. All we had was crap anyway, and there's nothing of worth left. You already took my passport and scriptures. Bastards. (Is it wrong to put those two words close to each other? Probably)

I also blame Stacy. I came home to a broken front window, glass on the ground, and this note from the police--

while she was outside snoozing on the hammock, oblivious.



 Until I ran inside FREAKING OUT, seeing everything ransacked and banging on the window "WE WERE ROBBED! WE WERE ROBBED!" and then forgetting to let her inside because I was pacing back and forth from room to room like a mouse trying to find the cheese in a maze. Thanks, Stace.

So.... here it is a few hours later, and here's the end result:

TAKEN:

-my Scriptures (my little ones, the kind they don't make anymore... SUPER sad about that)

-my passport and my three really cool passport wallets. This might be the worst-- I had a "Kingdom of Cambodia" huge visa sticker in there, come ON!! Sooo many memories, so many stamps from so many countries. Plus I need it in two weeks, oh shoot.

-my iPod touch that my dad gave me for Christmas

-my super-cool and expensive leather duffel bag that I bought for myself for my birthday gift last year

-bunch of other stuff

My roommates lost cameras, a laptop, a gym bag (what??), and a bunch of costume jewelry (hah hah hah, suckahs! Try to sell THAT!), and some other stuff. It's pretty sad.

REALLY SAD, TOO-- they busted the stained glass window my Grandpa had made. RAT bastards.

On the up side...

NOT taken:

-my school digital SLR (I thought they'd taken it; it was the one day I didn't take it to school with me, and it was on the floor by my bedroom door... but when the police came again, they appeared to have dropped it in the hall!

-my jewelry (all fake anyway--) --my mini jewelry box was dropped by the front door

-any other thing of worth, including my other cameras

-my LAPTOP-- I hide it every time I go on a trip anyway, and am always mocked for it... and my daily hiding apparently did the trick today to, BIG PHEW on that-- that would have killed me, there's so much of worth on that.

ALSO  on the up side--

The locksmith that came tonight was really hot, and he had a really sexy Eastern European accent, couldn't quite place it but it sounded Russian/Ukrainian. He said his name was Mike, THAT was probably a lie--  I'm sure it was something sexier like Yuri or Serge. Maybe Sascha. 

(I'm holding the emergency crowbar/hatchet that I keep under my bed in case of earthquakes, and/or intruders. It will definitely be clutched in my hand under my pillow, tonight. Along with an array of my five largest kitchen knives just a duck-and-roll away, on the other side of my bed)

And we're all hanging in there pretty well, we've got some pretty good fodder for jokes, or at least a good anecdote in the near future every time someone asks, "Hey, what's new?"

Eva's facebook status says that she would like to find whoever did this, lick her hand and slap them. In the interim, Stacy was a good proxy (since she didn't do a very good job of guarding us, sleeping on the hammock)

Erin's facebook status says that our house was broken into today and she was robbed, thankfully not of her virtue. But she did lose her computer and keeps trying to snag Eva's, now.

My facebook status mentions that, according to the policemen, apparently random strangers DON'T call up the station and say, "hey, was anyone robbed today? Can I contribute some cash to them?", so, I'm figuring we're going to have a benefit concert here pretty soon, or maybe just publish a benefit CD. "Feed the World"??  Soooo last century. 

In the meantime, I might put up a sign in the front yard that says "hey, return my scriptures, jerks", and to help up with possible future self-defense, we'll be watching this video daily until memorized.
