I posted the words ''I have never said I hated anyone in my adult life '' in another topic recently .
I take these back 100% !
I truly hate the sneak thief who entered my home when my back was turned and stole my wallet containing a substantial amount on money . Also a jewellery box containing my engagement ring and other sentimental objects . This happened yesterday
during the morning after I had left my house for a minute to go outside to the rear of my property .
The insurance people are not interested as I hadn't locked the door .....to which I replied ''So each time I hang out my washing I have to bolt the door ?''. They always have an excuse not to pay out any claims after years of paying premiums .
I realise these are hard times , however it doesn't give thieves carte blanche to rob decent hard working people .
So to that opportunist thief ...''Enjoy your spoils , what goes around comes around , and you will get your just rewards one day ''
Oh no, LL. I am sorry for what happened. I am also sorry the insurance company won't cover robbery. It hurts just as bad as burglary, especially when they take something sentimental.
Sooooo sorry, LL. This is very unfair. :'(
Yeah that is really scary.
When I was little that happen to my neighbor I was under 5 when it happen. My dog(who died when I was 5 hit by a car) was barking and I do remember my dad telling her to shut up or she was coming inside. Later he told her how sorry he was because she was barking at robbers. My neighbor had her purse in the kitchen which was by the side door. They were an older couple and didn't here someone come into their kitchen (they were in there livingroom and steal her purse. But my dog did and tried to warn us about it. I am glad though that they didn't hear it because I think it could have turned out bad. Its sad you got robbed but so glad you were not harmed in it.
I also had left my car unlocked right after my Mother's day 09 and didn't know I did. Well my Mother's Day present and IPod was in there and it was stolen I was so upset.
Sorry LL.. in the future claim your doors were locked.
I actually have a simple inexpensive way to help with that and it's all combination locks on all my exterior doors... since it's not time consuming nor do I have to remember keys etc I found that I keep my doors locked when I don't have them open on the back porch for air.
Sorry this happened, nothing feels as invasive as a home burglary.

Those sound like great locks, Laurie. I went through a time where I kept (repeatedly, sometimes 2 times in 1 day, locking myself out. They would be handy....
I always lock my doors because I watch too much CSI lol!
I have six exterior doors.. not even counting the one to the garage.. the chances of coming back in the same door that I exited using is pretty slim... I'll email you the info if you're interested
LL, I'm sorry to hear this. How frightening and maddening, not to mention violating. How are you feeling today?
DH & I get a little complacent out where we live, but these are hard times and we should all be a bit more watchful at home and in town. He laughs when I lock all the exterior doors before I get in the shower if I'm home alone. He caught me one morning when he turned around to pick up something he'd forgotten on his way to work and thought it was ridiculous for me to be so cautious way out here in the boonies. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Awww LL, I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you feel better soon, home invasion is scary. Take it easy on yourself.
Pen nothing wrong with being safe.... I become to complacent at times... like I just took a shower and left the bathroom door that leads outside wide open for air circulation. It's funny at times I feel perfectly safe but at night I have more fears.. maybe it's because I know I have my killer chihuahuas to protect me.. I took a picture of one guarding the house yesterday.. I'll post it later

Ummmmm, No?
Awwwwwwwwwwwww, she's cute! LOL I have the horrible habit of stereotyping all dogs as he and all cats as she. I have NO idea why! lol
lol.. why do people do that with cars... is there a reason why people place a gender on machines, plugs etc.?
My car is a She. Her name is Veronica. And I got her a pinstripe tattoo on her trunk. Looks like a tramp stamp lol
But DH's truck is a Boy. His name is Chuck!
Your husband just wanted a funny name for the 'name game' I named my car 'paid off' my dh's 'not paid off'
LL, I'm so sorry your home was violated that way. I can't imagine how angry and vulnerable I would feel. Sending love...
thankyou all so much , I knew I would get support from my WW girls !
I wouldn't have minded so much about the wallet , but some of the jewellery though not expensive had sentimental
value , and you can't replace that .
Living where I do , it's not a common thing to happen , and the police were most surprised . they have been excellent
doing door to door enquiries , which for a sneak theft is quite unusual . must be my standing in the community .... :)
It's a hard lesson to learn , but all bolts are on , and the horse has gone .... :(
It has made us reach a decision however , we are going to sell the house and business and retire ....oh YES !
The problem is we know it's really not the right time to do this , however it might take us a while to sell but with all my health
problems this just put the lid on it !
so ...new beginnings etc ....time to paint and follow more hobbies .Plus I bought a new wallet today which made me feel
so much better , I don't know why but it did ....lol
thanks once again for your best wishes .... :)
I'm glad to hear that the police are taking it so seriously. Maybe they will still catch the guy and you can get your stuff back!.... In the mean time, what about checking local pawn shops? Could the person take it to one for quick cash?
thanks Anon ....we don't really have Pawn Shops here where I live .
My friend sells antiques and some jewellery , and I have alerted her .Also the police will circulate a list of the
stolen articles .I don't hold out much hope .Thankfully my more expensive pieces were in another place , now that would
have been a total nightmare .I love diamonds ....! I have a few nice pieces and to lose them would be tragic .
now I know they are just possessions, but I've worked hard to get them !
You are turning lemons into lemonade! A new chapter...retirement...hobbies! Good for you!!!
So sorry LL. It makes me so angry when people think they have the right to take something that they didn't work for.
thanks Pooh ...
It seems to be more common than I imagined .When I tell people , they say ''Oh that happened to me , from the car , or porch , or garden '' Lucky that my bank and credit cards were in another wallet !
So you see I do listen sometimes , don't keep your cards in with your cash !
Too many tea leaves about !! (Thieves ).... :)
So sorry this happened to you, LL. Unfortunately there are a lot of sick people in this world. Glad you are OK though.................Jill
