Trailer was broken into last night.
My PS2 is gone, as is the 35 or so games I had for it.
My G3 Mac is gone.
My 'designated spare' 1ghz P4 is gone.
The duffel bag of leather gear is gone.
Three brand new copies of WinXP Professional, all of them unused, are gone.
The Sony dual deck tape unit is gone.
All of my possessions have been tossed; the trailer is a wreck.
The ribbon around Vicky's urn was ripped off and left lying on the floor.
Apparently they got 'interupted'; Mansion is still here. Most of my DVDs are here. The DVD/VCR deck, receiver, cable box, Sony cd carousel and Onkyo tape deck are still here.

There's no money to replace any of it, and some of the PS2 (and PS1) games aren't even available for purchase any more. I've called the insurance company and filed a claim. Given the age of some of the hardware I won't get much in the way of compensation. I'm gonna go cry now.

I'd just gotten the G3's UI perfect... a victorian-esque steampunk theme that took me two weeks of work to assemble (I'm very NOT artistically inclined, so it took longer).

Things had finally come together...

Oh, no...fuck. I'm so sorry, Ellie.

When I have the money, I'll do my part to help replace what was lost. Compile a list.

I've been trying to build a list for a good bit of the day, since the insurance person will need it when they come to look over the trailer. The numbers alone are enough to bring a wave of despair. Some of the things that were taken were... very very personal. I'm alternating between rage and tears and have been all day.

No. Shooting is much too quick. First you bind them, and then you start slowly peeling off their finger nails. When you're done there, move to the toe nails. And then you get mean about things.

At least they didn't touch my kaiju films. That's something, I guess. :/

Depending on how tomorrow plays out I may drop in for a bit of socializing.

I'll echo what was said above. When I have the money, I'll help replace what I can.

Better still... feed me at Otakon if I'm still bankrupt. I'll be able to swing badge and (I PRAY) my share of the hotel. But I'm gonna go completely apeshit if I miss another con, and my 'savings' money is going to be spent buying a new front door for the trailer.

I know, love. Insult to injury, they seem to have stolen some of my artwork and (I think, I'm still looking for it) one volume of Purple Pens. They weren't content to wreck my home, they had to steal my smut too. :(

It's been a difficult afternoon. It took almost three hours to clean up after the crime lab folks left.

I'm working on it. I need to do it for the claims person anyway. I hate insurance claims. I lived in the damned projects for 4.5 years and never lost so much as a penny... 3 months in a place that's actually MINE and I get burgulared. :/

They stole unopened copies of Windows XP Professional?
That's just not right. What kind of a bastard sumbitch steals an operating system?

I had 3 new copies... one for my designated spare (stolen as well), one for my Dad's machine and one for my baby sister Tina. Thank God I hadn't picked up their machines yet... they're now safely tucked away at a friends place. Blessedly both have serial key stickers on the cases, but I'm out the $485 I laid out for the legit copies to cover my own behind.

When they find them, just tell me and they'll get the treatment they deserve, dear. Believe me, I can make it happen. *cold smile*

I love you.

I love you too, sweetie.

I'd like them caught, but I'd dearly love to be the one to choose and administer punishment. I'd start off by slowly peeling off their finger nails. Just think of the fun I could have, one tiny tug at a time...

So was I. The heavy dagger from my German kit is one of the 'miscellaneous' items I'm missing. How the hell do I claim something like that under my insurance? o.o

I am so sorry, dear. Same thing happened to me a few months back. They got stuff from my beloved that is irreplaceable. But what is most irreplaceable is one's sense of security. I am suffering from insomnia tonight because I just don't feel safe right now.
