Omg, that’s crazy! That’s what I am freaked out about. If they could break in our house while we were away then they could do it when we are home. You are right, thank God yall are ok- people do sicker things than just stealing tv’s and stuff….

I’m sorry to hear that your tv’s were stolen. I know exactly what you are going through.

A few years ago I was babysitting my nephew for my sister. There was a friend that always hung out with their dad. One morning I woke up to see someone in the hall next to my nephew. I woke up long enough to hear my nephew say that he’s a friend, and I promtly fell back to sleep. I woke up feeling that something wasn’t right. The guy had stolen some movies and probably some jewelry. Luckily, my nephew and I were safe from harm. I must had someone watching over to protect me because I was unable to wake up on my own. He was arrested and thankfully my nephew and I didn’t have to appear for trial…..

I hope that things get better for you guys and hopefully, you will find out who did it. Things will get better, hang in there.

Thanks Sarah! As horrible as I *still* feel about the situation it’s always a breath of fresh air to hear that *someone* actually cares. I mean you call the cops they come over and scope out the scene, totally removed from the situation. They deal with this kinda stuff all the time so it’s like, “No big deal, your stuff was stolen, at least your family is safe”….TRUE. But it doesn’t make me *feel* safe. To add insult to injury they assigned us a detective that was on vacation for two weeks! We have yet to get ahold of this “detective” so as I suspected, it’s so long to our belongings.

We don’t live in a horrible area. We don’t advertise our belongings. We keep to ourselves and remain on guard at all times- anyone who has kids is constantly on guard. But these things STILL take place and there is little anyone can do to stop them. The fact that we don’t mingle with people we haven’t known for a billion years, we don’t advertise what we have, only leads me to believe that we were stereotyped because of the car we drive. I mean, we live in a rental and it isn’t the best looking from the outside. My fear is that one day my Fiance may get robbed because of the car he drives, it’s really sad you can’t have a *few* nice things without people suspecting you are loaded.

The lesson I got out of this is to never assume it can’t happen to you. I still find myself in disbelief, I just still can’t believe I came home after being gone an hour (in the middle of the day( and found my things gone. Keep yourself and your family safe because you never know who is scoping you out.

I am so sorry that this had to happen to you! How horrible to find that someone so uncaring could ruin you life in one swift moment of greed. Thank goodness I’ve never had to go through this, so I can’t say “I know how you feel”, but it reminds me to never take anything for granted. In this day and age, when so many people are scraping the bottom of the barrel just to survive, it’s sickening to think that there are still “bad guys” out there. I hope you are able to figure everything out, and that your family remains safe.

Kristi:

It’s Angela (aka Fortress of Solitude blog). I read your comment on my blog at blogspot, and wanted to see if I could help. One of my twins is autistic, and we had a very difficult time getting his diagnosis.

Please feel free to contact me via email at naturesencore@hotmail.com I’ll do my best to point out all the resources that assisted us in getting Alex’s diagnosis and treatment.

I wandered over here from CafeMom, and I’m so very glad I did! You are an amazing person, and I really enjoy reading your entries.

I, too, and in Chicago. I am new to the blogging realm, and I totally understand the inert need to write. My first blog is here:
http://angelamccoy.blogspot.com/ I started another one here at wordpress yesterday, and would love it if you would come by to read and comment. http://naturesencore.wordpress.com/

You and I are very similar in our ways of thinking. Do people view you as a complex philosopher, too?

Thank you for sharing these thoughts, Kristi. What we say or do may be forgotten in a moment or leave a permanent impression. We shouldn’t assume we’re forgettable.

People can end up shooting up a school, or become inspired and proceed to something great by anothers actions or thoughts. Some do have little effect but some takes a toll more than the eyes could see…nice work
