The thing is that we are pretty sure who did it. The old man who lived next door died a few months ago, and his junkie son and his trashy woman and all of their junkie friends moved in. They are constantly jumping the fence, needing to borrow gas money or use the phone or whatever. Well, yesterday, they were fighting. He locked her out of the house and then left. She came over to use the phone, and she was messed up badly, too high to stand up. She came back a few minutes later and asked if she could stay here. Tim said no, and she proceeded to act like a Jerry Springer person.

They came in through the unlocked living room window, took only the laptop and 2 disks of The Simpsons season 4. The case was lying on the chair arm next to the comlputer, but one disk was in the DVD player and one was lying loose out in the yard under the window. They shoved a chair from in front of the window and bumped the end table. We never woke up. Luckily, it was pouring rain, thunder, and lightning all night long, which did wake us up several times. I hope they catch pneumonia from being outside in it.

They also broke into the garage, but didn't steal anything. Just tore out the window screen and left the door wide open behind them when they left.

I had been working on some gemstones, cataloging them and so forth. They didn't touch $20,000 worth of stones that were lying right there in the lightweight and convenient case, or the iPods in their chargers or my purse which hangs on the dining room chair or my really good jewelry collection in the big case in the hallway. Just the laptop and cartoons.

One of the stones in the case that they missed is a huge tanzanite weighing 41.44 carats, absolutely natural medium cornflower blue that shifts to purple, not the synthetic dark blue that is so abundant. I cut it myself just the other day from out of the surrounding matrix rock that it grew in. They missed quite an opportunity there!

Our neighborhood has always been safe. The windows are seldom locked, and quite often we leave the doors unlocked when we go to sleep. Now, Tim is in there putting safety locks on everything.
