feeling: really freaking peeved
listening to: nothing
Unbelievable.
Our house was broken into AGAIN this afternoon. My dad was at a doc appointment, and my mom and I were in town also for appointments, and when we came home nearly every room in the house was ransacked - including mine, upstairs. This is the second time in six months. Last time they took a jewelry box and a purse, this time they took $25, an antique drill press, and some jewelry that they actually picked out of my and my mom's jewelry boxes. The front door and storm door were broken/kicked in, doors are open, and my room's an even worse mess than it was before. They walked right by priceless (well, nearly) computer equipment, camera equipment, gaming equipment, and antiques, and even went through our Christmas presents and places where guns are kept, and they made a huge freakin' mess of our house in the process, but all they took was $25, an antique drill press, and some random bits of cheap jewelry. And possibly the key to my dorm room. Joy.
Last time it ended up costing us a couple thousand dollars just to replace the locks and stuff, not to replace mom's jewelry... but this time the whole front door is destroyed. And the great thing is, insurance won't help. Last time they said they would cover it BUT they would cancel us immediately after. Because you can only make 2 claims every 3 years, or some such crap, and our first 2 claims were taken (broken water heater, stolen lawn mower). Same story this time.
We should probably consider ourselves lucky we didn't lose more. But this is the second time in half a year, and if they did take my dorm room key, they may think that's their ticket back in here. Even if it's not, they could likely come back to try it out. If it was the same jerks as last time, they probably think we're easy targets now and can't wait to go for round three. They might come armed next time too. Sorry, but that doesn't make me feel too lucky.
Interestingly though, the sheriff who was here said there were about 3 other houses in this area reporting break-ins today, just like ours. He said several guys on the force are after them. Like that'll make a difference. They probably skipped town the second they saw the first cop car. They'll never find anything or anyone, another stupid jerk will go free, we'll never get our stuff back, and this'll probably happen again in the future, and AGAIN we won't be able to do a bloody thing about it. I'm really getting sick of this. I'll never feel secure in this house again. Or even in my dorm, since that douchebag has my room key now. Not that he'll ever know what that key opens, but still... there are ways of finding that stuff out. Not only that, but that key will cost me $100 to replace.
I don't even want to go back up to my room. Because I'll have to clean up the mess that waste of human flesh left me. And because that'll tick me off even more.
If they ever find who did this and let the worthless jerk in my sight, I'm gonna tear him apart, eat his eyeballs, and feed his intestines to wild rabid opossums.
