Shuter Shack, haven of personal safety: 2004. No fun anymore: 2005.
Hey guys, guess what. We wuz robbed.
Oh yes, in a incident that must be the first for the Moss Park area, our home was invaded. Of course we didn't realize at first... oh no...
How about a timeline? I can show this to the police when they show up!
7:30 am
I wake up, determined to get to my internship early today since I know I have a lot of transcribing to do. I shower, prepare a small lunch and check my email.
8:30 am
I get ready to leave but remember that Tristan needs keys (he left his in Guelph last week) and I wake him up to lock the doors behind me when I go. Of into the frigid snow I go. Tristan goes off to the warm ferret filled bed.
10 am - 11 am
Mark's alarm goes off. Mark keeps setting it back and stays in his room sleeping.
11:30 am
Tristan wakes up. Comes out to the living room to find, WTF, our sliding glass doors wide open. He also finds my little CD case strewn upon the floor. Thinking nothing of it, other than that he has some shitty roommates who leave the door open in the winter, he turns up all the heaters, shuts the door and does usual Tristan computer stuff.
12:30 pm
Mark gets up... goes swimming.
1 pm
I call from TVO. Tristan answers, asks why I left the door open this morning. After I tell him I had nothing to do with that we both assume Mark did and forget about it.
9 pm
I get home from work. Tristan wants to go get food and starts to look for his wallet. Not finding it, I start to help look.
10 pm
Mark get home. I tell him he left the door open today. He says he wasn't even up then. DUM DUM DAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.
So then we investigated. Seems as if they stole both Tristan and my CD booklets. That's it. We figure they may have been freaked when Mark's alarm went off and took off. Mark isn't sure if he remembers if the door to our place was locked or unlocked when he left, so we're not sure if they left by the balcony, or if they ran through our apartment and down out the door.
So I've lost.... are you ready for this... all first 4 Big Shiny Tunes. The recent Pink Floyd 2 CD thing, my Prodigy CD, my Offspring CD, my Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack, my Simon and Garfunkle CD and micelaneous mixed CD's and burned CD's. Tristan lost his wallet, which had social insurance, drivers license, health card, library card, hospital card and a $60 check from work. His CD booklet was huge though and had tonnes of CD's, all indie stuff, some worth quite a lot.
AND WE LOST OUR SENSE OF SAFETY FOLKS. THAT'S RIGHT.
Yeah, we didn't lose much, it could have been much worse. But what really freaks me out is that someone climbed onto our balcony from who knows where, and from what the snow looks like, it's knocked off our balcony ledge and the ledge of our NEIGHBOUR. So... did they try to rob the neighbour and not succeed? OR... WAS IT OUR NEIGHBOUR?
Hmm.
HMMM.
Also, I'm kinda worried that Marks alarm scared them and they'll come back later for the good stuff that they didn't steal, like the computers and stuff.
Cops still arn't here.
We gotta buy like... 65 locks.
