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.

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.

Still, it's one of those items where the resale value at a pawnshop or other fine fencing establishment is bound to be exceedingly low... why even bother picking them up in that case? It just seems mean-spirited, like stealing someone's photo album. It's just not worth much except to the original owner.

Love, they took art work I'd picked up at anime and furry conventions -and- some of my smutty novels. Mean spirited or just flat out stupid is the only thing I can think of. :(
