johnpalmerYou know, if someone walked into my apartment and stole my briefcase, my laptop, and a bunch of new clothes that my mother-in-law bought my wife just four or five months ago, it would have been okay... I was working then.
If they'd stolen them Friday, at least I wouldn't be upset for my certification exam, tomorrow.
And if they'd been just a minute or two on the other side of when they did it, they'd have learned a valuable lesson about walking into other people's homes, assuming they gave me time to apply my staff to areas besides their head in subduing them. (No promises if I had to whack them upside the head, but since a rattan pole was closest, they probably wouldn't have been seriously injured even then.)
It's time for me to get back to talking to pawn shops and used computer stores.

(shakes head)
John, that just scrapes more than I can possibly say, and I hope you're able to recover at least *some* of your property, not to mention any feelings of safety and security in your own home.
*hugs* offered, too.
