We've been robbed, or rather my sons have. I came home on Friday night to find my door locked, but some things oddly placed. This didn't throw me as I'd received a call from my ex earlier that evening saying he was going to stop by and pick up extra clothes for Will. Some CDs were out, some candy was on the dishwasher... none of it concerned me.
Then, today, when I bring the kids home from my ex's, the first thing they ask when they come in the door is "where's the gamecube?" I had assumed David had borrowed it, but that was evidently not the case. We've been cleaning and taking inventory since then.
Missing items:
A signed soccer ball from Manchester University's kid's soccer camp.
Will's skateboard.
The Gamecube and a couple of controllers.
A good portion of the games for said Gamecube.
Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD, though the dust cover is still here.
Still here:
All my electronics, all my jewelry, the kids' coin savings book, their TV... really anything else of value. Will's new scooter is still here, at least.
It looks like a neighborhood kid came over and ripped us off, as the missing items are all "kid" items, hit and miss in what they took, and of negligible value overall. This means no neighborhood kids in the house anymore. I don't actually think it was one of the boys' friends, but at least a couple of the friends have older siblings and acquaintances that have come over with them at least once. Whoever it is, Rosie knew them and they knew her, so they wandered around in the house at their leisure.
I can't afford to replace the items that were taken, at least not right now. My kids are sad, and I'm sad and mad and everything else too. It's just not fair.
