um, yeah.
An bit from an email I just wrote: too lazy to write it again...
Yeah, so someone broke in yesterday. They came for the projector (which they got), and also took my new flat screen, my video camera, my luggage, and ronan's cologne. kids. they climbed in through the bathroom window. they were probably trick or treaters. i mean, cologne?! they didn't even look through my jewelery. they went out the front door, and left it wide open.
Yeah, so a cop came, our toilet is still a crime scene, and we're trying to figure out what to do. That projector was tom's, and it cost 5 grand. But hopefully we get it back. if we can give the cops serial numbers, there's a good chance we can block the stuff from being sold at pawn shops. isn't that fucked? i talked to the neighbours. no one saw anything. so we're pretty bummed out. but at least it was kids. they were fast, they must have been scared. in other words, i still feel safe in my home (though, admittedly, a bit weird...) they didn't go through drawers. and they didn't wreck anything. if they'd trashed the house i'd feel way different. and the cat's ok.
god, and those kids could have been hurt. ronan and i were talking, and if we had locked the deadbolt (it only locks and unlocks by key) they probably would have tried to get back out by the window... They were obviously trying not to make noise, they were careful with my plants in the window... they could have killed themselves. it's slippery as hell on that roof. i'm actually glad we didn't lock the deadbolt. anyways, so there's my news.
ugh.
