Thoroughly de-Sparkled

[babysimon]

We had a lovely weekend at Sparkle - not the life-changing event that I think many people have for their first BiCon, but fun all the same. More details and of course photos in a later post.

Unfortunately when we got back we found we'd been burgled. TV, laptop, SLR and Wii are all gone. Forced entry, rear window, some time Saturday.

The laptop was backed up and the insurers are so far being cooperative, so we're not too badly upset, but you can imagine it's not a great deal of fun. The police are not helping with my mood by telling us not to touch anything but being very slow to send the forensics team.

Sympathy comments are appreciated but by no means expected. Comments telling stories about unpleasant burglar behaviour or police uselessness will be Considered Unhelpful and probably deleted.

*sympathy*

That sucks; what a horrible thing to come home to.

Oh mingeburgers, what a fucking arse.

Hope things get sorted out soon babe, if there is anything we can do then just let us know.

Fuck, that really sucks :-( Here's hoping that the result is somehow new and better shiny.

[webcowgirl.livejournal.com]

Wow. That is crap. I am so sorry.

By SLR do you mean your nice camera?

[babysimon]

Yes.

[slightlyfoxed.livejournal.com]

Damn - and after a lovely weekend, also. Hope it can be cleared up quickly, as far as possible.

Bastards!

[thekumquat.livejournal.com]

Bah! And as you said, bastards!

[potatoprint.livejournal.com]

Shit. Really sorry to hear about this :(

[sanjibabes.livejournal.com]

Oh no! :(
I am so sorry to hear that.

Hope the police can get moving more quickly.

Oh bastards! I hope the police come quickly and you get better/new shiny as a tiny compensation for the horridness.

[adjectivemarcus.livejournal.com]

Oh no! That's so horrible!

*hugs*

Oh fuck! What a horrible thing to come back to after a nice weekend away. Big sympathy from this end, and hope you and T are doing ok.

Oh poo.

Hooray for the backup and cooperative insurers, but it remains poo.

[alan1957.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that. Sympathies to you and Trish.

Shit. What a crappy thing to happen after a lovely weekend. Let me know if there's anything useful we can do to help, even if it's just having you over for a beer and a bitch.

[ludy]

Bah!
Good thoughts

[jhg.livejournal.com]

Oh no not again!

[barking-watcher.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that, it's a really shitty thing to happen.

[oilrig.livejournal.com]

'Bastards' indeed sums it up. Have a spare TV (decent) if you need something asap.

[babysimon]

That's very kind, but I think we'll be all right for the time being - we have a spare monitor for the MythTV machine, and we'll just sit closer ;)

[ms-katonic.livejournal.com]

:O

Bastards! Hope insurers come up trumps and replace your stuff with shinier and better things.

[plumsbitch.livejournal.com]

Bah. As everyone says, that is sucky, and particularly to come back to in the middle of good times.

[drdoug.livejournal.com]

The buggers! Sympathy. That's horrible. May the insurers continue to be cooperative.

[hieroglyphe.livejournal.com]

Shit - what a horrible thing to come home to :-(

Glad you had a good time at Sparkle, though!

[wriggler.livejournal.com]

Gah! That sucks really smelly eggs bigtime.

...'though it'd be cool if all the stolen goods suddenly became possessed by revenge spirits and began to do nasty things to the thieves, giving just & ample punishment and also, in time, rehabilitating their evil ways.

[kerrykat.livejournal.com]

Bollocks :(
You looked gorgeous at Sparkle. It was wonderful to see you. I hope that your stuff is relaced quickly and the hassle is minimal. *hugs*

Bit late...

...but sh*t...
Can entirely relate from when I got done similarly :(

Fingers crossed for a good and non quibbling adjuster :-)
