the weekend was fun spending it at the Mi fair was nice a relaxing.... then came pack down time and somewhere in the flurry of boxes I find that my phone has been blowing up... I answer the next call and it is from the police department... my house has been broken into there are neighbors that have witnessed the crime and my roommate who came home to find the robbers leaving... I stammer and go into shock... the police start asking me questions about bonnie moving out of my house and the situation of our friendship... i stammer again i tell the police that i am at work and could i call them back when i get off... they tell me that it has to be tonight... that Chaya and george were emptying my house and that they need me to make a statement as soon as possible... I call chaya... no answer... I call again... no answer I text her.... "I really need to talk to you i am getting phone calls from the police they are asking questions that i don't know how to answer i would like to hear from you before i talk to them.." at 10:48 pm.... she finally calls me back... I take the call on speaker phone... letting her know that there are people listening so that nothing can be twisted later... that this way it cannot be said that i was threatening or a b*tch unless i was actually being that way... she tells me that yes she went to the house and took things that she wanted... she explains that i once said that she was welcome at any time... that i wouldn't begrudge her anything that she felt strongly about... she went on about how she didn't understand why sean was angry or why he called the police... she said that she only took things that she thought she had a right to or cared about or thought that she should have... she went on to explain that she didn't completely clean me out, that she had left plenty of things... I asked her what i was supposed to tell the police... how i was suppose to clean up this mess... I asked her what she wanted me to do... she said that she already talked to the police and explained to them that i had given her free reign to come to the house any time and take anything... that the police were perfectly alright with this and said that there was no problem... she said that the only way that there would be a problem is if i wanted to be mean and cause trouble for her... she said that all she wanted was a friendship with me but that I was poison to her children so that she didn't want me around them... yet she implied that if i didn't clean up this mess i would never see the girls again... she implied that i needed help... she went off on me about honesty... yet she also admitted to going to my employer and telling them that they had better keep an eye on their inventory... I told her I would call back the police and do what i could... I called the police i talked to them and explained that there had been a messy break up and that I routinely had been bring chaya boxes over on fridays at campfire they asked more questions they asked about sean's reaction... i told them that it looked like one big misunderstanding... (i did this because i am terrified that if this goes wrong that i will never see my girls again)... the officer finally said that he had heard enough that it looked like i was trying to cover something up and that chaya and george were facing felony charges... he said that he did not approve of people covering up for criminals and that since he pulled her record and found a previous shoplifting ticket he had no doubts about what was going on... he said i could choose either sean gets fined for placing a needless call to the police or burglary charges are pressed on Chaya and George... I talk to the officer some more and he agrees to try to prove that this is all a misunderstanding and that if sean will consent to go over to Chaya's house and retrieve the items that were reported gone with a police escort then he will agree that it was a misunderstanding and could be solved between us when I got back into town... I called Chaya and told her what the police had said... she agreed that if the police went with sean she would give them back only the things that sean reported missing... she then lectured me for the idea that it was late and that i was causing her to miss sleep... i call sean he was frantic and pissed... he went on about how Chaya put him in the middle and stole from his house... after a few minutes I talked him in to going to Chaya's with the police... the police took over an hour to get organized collecting prints and doing paperwork and escorted sean to Chaya's house where she refused to answer the door... they waited for two hours and called over thirty times before the police added the charge of 'failure to cooperate' to the list of charges now awaiting Chaya... and now I don't know if even I can dig her out of this mess she put herself in... What is worse is that she was willing to drag george into it... now he is also facing felony charges and jail time... how much worse does this have to get... she took photos of the children that I had already told her we would copy as soon as she had a spare 4 dollars... she took boxes of photos that we were going to therapy to get to her in a controlled setting... she took art off the walls and a painting that I had made with emmi.... she took my angel painting off the wall in the tv room... but she didn't just steal from me... she took boo's baby fairys off the wall in his room... she stole David's cat painting that was a keepsake from when he lived with melanie... she took a blanket that emmi had asked me to keep there so she would always have something to cuddle with when she was at our home... and these are just some of whats missing.... I understand wanting things that other people have... i understand not wanting to face poeple.... i understand being upset.... but does that give you the right to break into someones house when you know they are out of town and take what ever you like...??? I asked her how she would feel if the situation was reversed... she told me that she has never kept anything of mine or anyone elses without their approval... yet the art work that i was given for christmas has hung on her wall for the past six months... the computer that my dad has requested back is still in her living room... the books that were kept for me so I could go to nursing school are in her basement... The pictures that she took were not hers... and noone had broken into her house to get them... So if this is true I am officially requesting all of these items back... if it is all just a missunderstanding then show me by making it right....
what am I supposed to do at this point... Chaya just got out of school she finally got the job she wanted... if she gets charged with a felony she will go to jail and never get another job as a nurse... George is older i don't know what jail would do to him... ani is almost blind how will she get along without him.... or do i let sean take the fall... we can't afford a lawyer for him.... as it is i expect that we will never get to see the girls again... once Chaya yelled at me that she was not Cynthia... but the actions are exactly the same...
What do i do????
