OMG - we've been robbed!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oh no, Kim, that is horrible..... !! I am so glad that nobody was home, and also that the "thief" didn't harm your cats!!
I will pray that you find your things back!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kim, I know I'm a bit late but I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am that this happened to you and your family. I'm glad that 2 of your rings weren't stolen and hopefully you'll be able to get your camera back too. I also hope that the cops find out who robbed you so they get what they deserve. Please take care.

I just saw this thread..

If it is the landlords son, I hope you get your items back especially your engagement and wedding band. You must feel so violated.
So sorry you have to go through this.

[zoomer]

OMG! That's horrible! I'm glad nobody was at your house when the robbery was going on. I'm glad you and your family all right.

[rizzy]

I also just noticed this thread, I am so thankful that no one was harmed. Also that you found two of the three rings you missed most. I am so sorry that you had/have to go through this, it must be really scary. I am praying that the dumb robbers turn your camera into the pawn shop and you get it back soon, same with your wedding band. By the way you talk it sounds like it was the landlords son, hopefully the police can use this information to catch the robbers. God be with you Kim!

That is so horrible, i'm so glad you're all all right. Hopefully the people that do such a thing will get caught, if not, they will get their *reward some day. ( i belive in karma )

Yes, and thieves seldomly close the door behind them.
That's what I most worry about. Our alarm system doesn't shut the doors for us.

I can certainly relate to the above comment. Years ago we were burglarized during the holidays. We came home after a wonderful Christmas party at about 10:30 p.m.

There, walking around outside was my first cat, Sugar. We had left him indoors. What was he doing outside? And then we saw the broken window...........................

Thanks to everyone's replies on this. Its been a bad few days. I keep having bad dreams and have yet to get a good night sleep.

I just found out that there was a rash of burglaries on the 4th. One town over, someone was out mowing his lawn and surprised the robbers.... and he got seriously stabbed with a knife. That could have been hubby if it was the same robbers!

I'm still not settled with all this. I miss my camera something awful. I can't secure financing to get one on a credit card. Its something I have to live without until I can find a way to afford a $400+ camera.

I've come to terms as best I can with my missing wedding ring. I am wearing a sapphire and gold band I bought many years ago. It went on just fine and feels comfortable, but there's no way I'd ever be able to remove it without losing 20 pounds. I've tried everything to get this band off. Its not budging! So I guess this "new" old band is staing put as my wedding band for a while... maybe forever~!

[lovethatpug]

Oh my! Thats terrible!! I can't believe it! I'm really hoping the cops get them. Can you believe people have the nerve to ruin peoples property like that. Makes me sick to think that people actually think they'll get away with something as terrible as that.

OMG, I decided to take a walk today. I walked past this new business on the main street - block and a half from my house. Its upstairs to the shop that sells drug paraphenalia (sp?) like bongs and such. The lower level shop is not known for... um... shall we say... better element people. The new business is a CONSIGNMENT SHOP! Advertising jewelry, electronics, etc. OMG, could it be that I've checked EVERY pawn shop in the area but the one where my stuff is? OMG OMG OMG OMG... this one is too close and seems too seedy to be true.

Oh, I forgot to tell everyone that a block down from my house is a methadone clinic, ya know, a place where all the druggies go to get their governmentally provided drug fix? The consigment shop is a few houses away from the meth clinic. Oh yeah, my town is really one of those special places... 'cause right behind me is a crematorium! Woohoo! (maybe hubby is right when he's pressuring me to move.)

You better believe I'll be walking over to the consignment shop tomorrow!

Wait until the dry winter air sets in, and you'll be able to get it off even without losing 20 pounds, I bet!

Good luck at the consignment shop tomorrow! Hope your camera is there!

[cyber-sibes]

So sorry for your misfortune!

[jenluckenbach]

OH! Best of luck at the consignment shop tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

(So where was this ring?? that it was not taken? curious minds want to know)

[moosmom]

Jen,

I was on the phone to Kim when she found her engagement ring. It was in her jewelry armoir. I guess the idiots didn't bother to look in the top compartment (they obviously didn't realize that the top had a hinge on it and it opened).

Good luck at the consignment shop!
