Got home yesterday after a day volunteering at the Embroiderers Guild and shopping to find the house a wreck and over A$10,000 worth of stuff missing. Mostly small electronics. e.g. 2 small laptops, digital SLR, one of my iPAQs and my husbands golf gps.
But they didn't get my phones, my best iPAQ, my Creative mp3 player or my Hanlin as I had them with me.
They also took my dressmaking scissors, 2 pairs of haircutting scissors and 2 manicure sets. Well groomed thieves?
I feel sick and violated and annoyed at what I've lost but they missed my best laptop - I suspect they kicked out the power cable and the battery doesn't work. So I can still come here, and read all my books.
They found the box the Hanlin came in and opened it and threw it down so I think they would have taken it if it had been here.
I've been salivating over the new cute little Sony Vaio - so much more style than my eeepc. Guess this is my excuse to go for it.
