We was robbed



No sooner had I written the last post than some fecker broke into our house and stole my new camera. This was the neatest thief I have ever seen. It took us ages to realise we had even been burgled. I am a bit of a neat freak and so I did notice a few things were slightly different. I asked J if he had moved stuff but he said I probably just had a lot on my mind when I left for work and forgot that I moved them.

The first thing I noticed was that my brand spanking new video iPod, which I had bought so that I wouldn't drive J mad with my constant chatter on our impending holiday, was not where I had left it. I was going mad looking. I even thought the dog might have gotten his grubby mitts on it as he has taken to bringing our stuff down from the study and the bedroom when we're not there. Then I realised my BRAND NEW CAMERA was not on the desk where I had left it after taking the photo in the last post.

Then we started to get really worried. J realised they had taken his professional video camera. That seems to be all they took but they must have been very pleased with the loot. All bagged up and ready for them to run off with. Our very ferocious guard dog probably tried to lick them to death. He would have been thrilled with the bit of company while we were at work.

Thank God for home contents insurance. Although, that said, they will probably try to get out of paying up. Hopfully we will be able to replace the cameras and the iPod before we go on holiday in two weeks.

I'm so sorry to hear you guys got burgled. That has never happened to me although someone has gotten into my bank account and cleaned it out, so I know how much it sucks. And notyour camera looked like a beaut!

I hope it all gets sorted out before your holiday : )

Tsk, tsk, these sure are some sneaky burglars! I hope the insurance companies aren't equally sneaky!
