Um. God. I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. My boyfriend, who's at his home, does not in fact believe it, and says I should not either

WHAT. God, like you didn't have enough shit going on.
I am pettily glad your landlord lost more money than you, and I hope it inspires him to be nicer to you for the rest of your stay here, but it's still horrible that for all his analness and ridiculous measures, someone still got into the house and stole the key. That is not safe at ALL and once again, you need to get out.
Baby. Baby, all my jewelry's gone. That stings the most - golden earrings my grandfather gave me when I was born, a golden necklace with a diamond that my parents bought me as a birthday present when I was just reaching teenagehood, hand-made rings and necklaces that I loved (from pretty shiny cave-stones, similar to the necklace I sent you for your eighteenth birthday), more gold, silver etc. I don't care about the money, I want the memories. I want my stuff back. I really, really, really want my stuff back. I don't even like gold, but it's mine, damn it. (Next post will probably contain photographs of some of the things I lost.)
AND IT WAS ALL in a hand-painted wooden (I think even lined in gold) jewelry box with traditional Persian patterns that my parents brought me from their last trip.
(And the landlord? Text-messaged me tonight to say that his insurance does not in fact cover cash money. So that's four-fifty euros I've lost already.)
HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO PUNISH YOU FOR THE SECURITY DEPOSIT HE LOST. NO. NO. That should have gone to a BANK. NOT kept at home. You handed it over to him and HE is responsible for that money. He would not have to cut his losses if the thief had stolen your rent; he would still have demanded it from you on the due date. NOT OKAY.
I'm so sorry this happened. This is awful. Is there any way I can help?
Thank you very much for offering, but right now I don't even know what I can do to make things better. I'm just glad I still have this laptop (the Macbook Pro is gone; this laptop (which I use most) has a huge crack in it, so they probably didn't think they could sell it). The jewelry sucks, because they were gifts/heirlooms, but I keep telling myself that it won't kill me.
Parents+boyfriend are deeply suspicious of my landlord setting the whole thing up - as a way not to return the deposit and get more money out of me.
But yeah. His daughter is pressuring me to go go go, because she wants to have a birthday slumber party in my room, but I'm going to demand the deposit back. I just don't think it'll work.

Needless to say, I did not need this.
