WE WAS ROBBED!!!!!
No, this was not a bad call in a baseball game, not a spoiled quart of milk, not a faulty new toy, this was a real, honest to goodness, Holy Cow === We was robbed!!!
At about 1:20 we threw our things in the car and went down to the park to meet a teacher and her class to plant in the park. Took about 20 minutes, then we hung around and watered the plants. Maybe another 10 minutes, then home. We had a whole list of afternoon things we were going to do, but when we got home, Kay saw that the desk had been gone through. She grabbed her purse which had been setting on the desk and sure enough the cash was gone. Her camera was also missing. I thought perhaps someone had looked in a window and used the opportunity to grab a free purse, but when I went upstairs, our bedroom had been trashed. All her mother’s jewelry and her own had been stolen. Nothing of great value, but irreplaceable in sentimental value. They had also found some silver dollars, Kennedy half dollars and 2 dollar bills I had been saving for years. Again, no great value, but MINE!!!!
The cretins had continued up the stairs into the attic and gone through a bunch of stuff, finding that our attic was full of --- well, junk.
The Police responded quickly and were probably more upset than we were. A neighborhood canvas was carried out, but fact is people were no more observant than I am.
The “watch” cats are not talking so I don’t know what they know or don’t know, but I will say when they finally showed up, they were pretty freaked out. Big Cat’s eyes were 6 times normal size. Frankie just stood in the middle of the floor and shed.
So now I am in the market for a home security system that works and is impervious to cats.
