Capper to a Great Week
Came home last night and the front door wouldn't open... because the chain was on the latch. I think you can guess where this is going. Because the door mechanism is substandard, I was able to remove the chain from the latch from the outside and gain access to my apartment. The place had been tossed. Stolen: laptop, GBA, Wii (plus all games and accessories), toolbox, stereo receiver, two cameras, and a box of change (nickels and quarters). Probably more, I just haven't discovered it missing yet. Police arrived, we found handprints on the window where they came in, but the thief was wearing gloves. Another cop came by with information about an identical forced entry a mile or so up the street. According to them, there haven't been many break-ins recently, and this is probably someone looking for stuff to sell quick. They'll keep an eye out at the pawn shops, but more than likely this stuff is gone for good.
The only thing I am remotely worried about is the laptop. There's quite a lot of personal stuff on there, not only financial stuff, but personal stuff... stuff that I don't want other people looking at or ending up somewhere public. Hopefully because this was a smash-and-grab, they'll wipe it and sell it, or toss it when they notice that the laptop screen is about 25% dead pixels.
In the meantime, I'm forced to change every damned Internet password I can think of, and now I'm heading to the bank to take out a chunk of change before asking them to replace my cards (I still have them but at this point I consider them comprimised).
