Giggling and the list o' missing stuff that rewil requested

[missmiah]

Let me just start by sharing part of the chat I had with Jason over IM. Some names have been altered to protect the innocent (or in J's hubby's instance, the terminally cranky).

Jason: here's a plan: replace all the stuff that got stolen, then leave for the weekend -- but have a hired ninja sneakily staying inside. When the evil theifit returns to gank the replacement stuff, the ninja leaps out all kung-fu style and delivers one thousand years of pain to the perp
Jason: and by ninja I mean M (Janet's hubby)
darnedchild: That is the funniest thing I've seen all day
Jason: and/or Midget and her fiance, who probably have better attack modifiers
Jason: M's only like a 3rd level cleric of Apathulhu. Midgets's got to be like a 7th level monk or something, right?
darnedchild: rewil and I are both laughing
darnedchild: rewil says Midget has the fu

Midget is my little sis, btw. She's a second degree black belt in tae kwon do and a first degree black belt in some weapons thing that I can't remember but which means that she can kill people with random props found around the house. Including the oar looking thing we had especially made for her at one point. Her fiance is also into tae kwon do. And both have belts in karate. In other words, they could bring the pain if they wished.

Behind the cut is all the stuff I've managed to remember that is now missing, as per rewil's request, there's more but this is all I can remember. The rest of y'all can just ignore it if you want.

And finally - the cop that took my statement did the most half-arsed job I've ever seen. No fingerprints. Didn't ask for the titles of the missing stuff. Didn't ask for serial numbers, not that I had them, but really.

He did manage to let me know that Thieves like to return to homes they consider easy pickings. Oh, and have a nice day.

Bastage.

And DH still doesn't know about the break-in or the move.

I'm so sorry to read you were burglarized. The violation of personal space is so much harder to get over than the loss of stuff. *hugs* I slept with my majorette baton under my pillow for about 10 years after our theft. It was probably my father, he was never charged.

Surely it couldn't be that hard to find the cretin(s) who burgled you -- they'll be the ones wearing black heels with men's socks and smelling suspiciously harvest spicy.

I guess the pillow cases were to haul stuff away, but ... heels and socks? How gauche.



Just trying to make you smile, though it sounds like your humor is safely intact. I'd be happy to lend you our attack cat *points to icon* -- he'll manage to foil any further intruders by managing to constantly be underfoot as he yowls for someone to feed him. If that fails, he'll just purr them to death.

*wink*

I agree completely. I don't care about the stuff they took, it's the stuff they left behind but used or touched that bothers me. I've thrown away things I know they used like my lotion. I've washed my bedding several times already and still sleep on the bare mattress with a spare blanket.

I'm just thankful the computer was with me when the break-in happened. I think I'd go nutso without the distraction.

If I didn't try to find the humor I'd probably be going crazy.

Welcome to my zip code: 6-3-3-psych0-4.

Still, I'm glad you're coping. Mostly, I'm glad you're safe. If you need a place to either crash until the duplex is vacated or need a place to send Hubby, we're right next door. As states go, that is. You, Loki, Roswell, Colonel Brandon, cptn_oblivious... We'll make room.

And I'll cook!

And just so you know, Apathulhu is the Dark God of Apathy, whose invocation is "...meh..." He's pretty difficult to summon.

-JAH, dark god of anonymity

Sorry it took so long for me to say: Thank you!

One thing I'm very grateful for was that for the first time since I moved down here I put the cats in a kennel while I was gone instead of leaving them in the house like I normally did. If I had done that, they would have been gone or hurt or worse.

So, it's getting easier to see the bright side of this whole mess. That the animals are safe. I had my wedding ring with me for once. My computer is still intact. No one was hurt.

And thank you again.
