In case you think I've left you.

[Emma-Leigh]

In case anyone is interested - I will not be around as much for the next little while.

My apartment was broken into today. Although the didn't take much and nothing was danaged, they managed to take the most important thing that I have - my computer.

It had everything on it, including all of my work from the last 4 yrs.

Yes I had made back ups - but my back up CDs were stored in my computer bag... and they took that from the apartment too.

They also took some other things (digital camera, jellery)....

So at the moment I am on my sisters computer (which they left untouched in one of the other rooms - Seems my computer was a better find)... But it means I will not have as much access to the net as I did... I may be able to get on occasionally... but other than that I will not be around till I can get everything sorted out...


Anyway, just letting you all know.

Some chronics stole my girlfriends purse out of the back of the car last week while she was putting her disabled grandfather in his wheelchair. There are some real shits in this foul world. Luckily we got the description of their car from an eyewitness, someone later found the purse and wallet discarded and I know the ho that was involved uses pink glittery finger nail polish because it was still a bit wet and had gotten on the purse where she snatched it.

The important thing is you are ok Emma! I'm really sorry to hear about this but I'm so glad you are alright. Take care of yourself and see you soon.

 

[Rocky_B]

Emma, for you, I'd fly to Australia, just to help you out and get your computer back!

 

[The_Godfather]

Im so sorry. That is downright disgusting. I hope someone catches those s.o.b.'s. At least u are ok.

 

[BruiseKnee]

wow that sucks, goodluck in finding those bashtids....any advice for the rest of us?

 

[aggies1ut]

Any advice regarding what? How not to get burglarized? How to attempt to recover your stolen items? I'm not trying to be facetious, I'm only trying to understand what you mean.

 

[Emma-Leigh]

Thank you all for your support....

I am slowly getting things organised - well, as far as I can anyway.

The police were over the night it happened and they took down all the information and that is basically all they could do.

The locksmith was over yesterday to replace locks and we spent the day listing what was taken and then went around to all the local pawn shops to give them our details and a list of the things that were stolen...

So there is not much else that can be done at this point as I have to wait till Monday before I can contact people about what I am going to do about finding a replacement for my computer and contacting the insurance people regarding the things that were stolen....


Hopefully it will not take too long.


And some advice for the rest of you: Don't get burgled!

 

[r0dxx]

Hey atleast they didn't take your sacred protein...

All joking aside, I'm really sorry...Bad things happen to the best people

 

[GoalGetter]

like others have said though, thankfully you are ok. everything else is just material and replaceable in one way or another... though it still sucks

wish i could help in some way...
