I read your blog and I can relate. About three years ago I returned home from work one day to find that the front door had been kicked in and a lot of our stuff had been taken out in broad daylight! I was enraged, especially when the neighbors claimed not have seen anything. My wife and I were renters then but we didn't have any insurance since we were both poor grad students. (We're still poor, just no longer grad students)
Our TV/VHS was taken with the rental video still inside! I had to cough up eighty bucks to replace that video and I have never rented from Hollywood Videos since then (If the owners of Hollywood Video ever read this I have something to tell them: You suck Hollywood!) The CD player and almost all of my wife's jewelry was stolen, most of it was personal momentos, like a ring her great-grandmother had given her.
I was really, really angry at the time. And I felt like our home had been violated by some thugs. Plus everything that was taken, besides the jewelry, had been wedding presents. The police here (Arkansas) are incompetent, they lost our case file twice and still have no leads even though several other duplexes were robbed the same week as ours. I thought about purchasing a gun and going 'Chuck Norris' but I'm not a killer and loud noises scare me.
I hope that the thieves will eventually be brought to justice. Perhaps they will steal in another town with more competent police and get caught. But as Jay-Z says, "I'm feelin' ya."
