Well, most of you Facebook friends are aware of my recent encounter. If you're not a fb friend then: welcome to my life.

Ryan and I were robbed.

LAMESAUCE!

Everything from laptops to cameras to jewellery is gonzo. Completely gonzo. I'm not sure your getting the full  full effect here. Let me rephrase it:

$16, 000 of our stuff is gone.

Got it? Good. I just wanted to make sure. And I'm sure that you all want the full story. (Don't worry, I type fast)...haha

Yesterday, at exactly noon Ryan, me and my mom left the condo to go for lunch. A nice, lovely, calm, tasty lunch. At 1:35pm, we drop off my mother at the spa (go figure:P) and head home. As I approach our door, I noticed it was opened. PANIC. (panic lasted about 10 minutes...not really sure what happened, so I'm just labelling it 'panic') They had dumped and emptied every box, basket, drawer, and shelf in the entire apartment. "Proof", you say? Viola:

(Not sure if this formatting is working for you; it's a picture from my phone...because they took both of my cameras) 
 
What you see here is my closet. This is basically what our entire place looked like. Perhaps a resemblance of something you might see on 'Hoarders' or in a bachelor pad... Anyways, so police arrive, we debrief, she (the cop) gives no assurance and leaves. We clean up the mess--approximately, an hour or so for the basics, and we discover more things missing. However, I did recover my flashdrive with my assignments and one camera card of last year (we did not recover any of Summer 2010, honeymoon photos, or pictures of my newborn niece).The locksmith arrives; he guarantees this new lock is much safer than the $45 deadbolt that was on there in the first place. Yada, yada, yada. I still feel unsafe.


So that's about it. Yes, we have insurance, and yes, I'm typing this on my new laptop. To be honest, I miss my old one. My pictures, my music, my dirty finger grease that covered the screen and the keyboard. 

I'm sad. Surprisingly, I'm not mad. Jesus knows who they are. Thievery, schmievery. It's just stuff.
