Good news!
They have found and arrested the two guys that broke into our house! I guess they're small time meth users. They thought they were robbing the people that lived here three years ago. Their kids and these guys were pot smoking buddies. I guess they "graduated" to meth since then and were looking for some fast cash. It's a shame they didn't keep in touch.
Anyway, all of our stuff is pretty much gone. The few pieces of jewelry that were recovered will come back to us after the county is through with them but we won't get anything else back. "We're not in the property recovery business" according to the lead investigator, which is understandable.
There is no way of knowing exactly what is going to happen to these guys, but they are repeat offenders. The investigator has told us not to worry too much about any "repeat business" as these guys are very small time and in his experience repeat visits aren't that common in cases similar to this. Hopefully they'll at least do a little time.
It makes me feel a little safer, but the alarm system is still going in. We bought my boy some new toys to replace the ones taken and we replaced most everything else that can be replaced this week (I can't live without TV). Hopefully the insurance company will come through as promised and the cost will turn out to be very little or none in the end.
I want to thank the folks here who PMed, sent e-mails, and who sent me a few smokes during the last several days once again. You know who you are and the support means a lot. When I signed on here I never thought I'd consider people I've never physically met friends, but it appears I have a few here after all.
