Robbed
I came home this afternoon with every intention of writing a blog post about my terrible visit to the Secretary of State's office.
But instead I found our home had been burglarized.
Someone came in the back door.
Went up to our master bedroom,.
Stole my laptop.
Stole my husband's iPad (his post-deployment present) and his Nook our of his nightstand.
Rifled arond in my nighstand.
Pulled belongings from my closet.
And stole our fire-proof document box out of my husband's office.
You know. The one with all our social security cards. And birth certificates. And passports. And every letter my dear, sweet husband wrote me over the course of two deployments.
And went right out the front door. It was still wide open when I got home.
I have been crying for hours. It will be a huge task to try and take care of monitoring our identities, and contacting all the various agencies to replace those precious documents.
But who is going to replace my peace of mind?

Oh my gosh. I can't even imagine. I am so sorry. Prayers are coming your way tonight.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Honey! I am speechless! If there is anything I can do from here, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteThat truly sucks. I'm saying a prayer for you right now, for peace of mind and (God willing) a return of your precious personal possessions.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I'm SO sorry. That is horrible.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry! What an awful thing for you to experience. Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteSo sad & sorry. I hope they find your belongings or at least the fire box with all the letters from hubby.
ReplyDeleteOh Lora, how scary! I cannot iagine how vulnerable you all feel. I hope they catch him soon and you are able to get your things back!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, what a terrible thing to experience. How vulnerable, angry, and invaded you must feel... I've gone through similar things myself, but not while preparing for adoption. Might your social worker or facilitator have duplicates of some of the paperwork and documents? I do hope some of the papers turn up - as I posted on the RR forum, be sure to tip off your local trash collectors to be on the lookout. I wish there were something I could do from a distance to help reconstruct things for you...
ReplyDeleteThinking of you,

So sorry. Praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteoh my god lora, i am so sorry. i cannot believe this, i hope they grow a conscience and get those back to you immediately. you guys are in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind on all of what is going on due to a crazy schedule recently. I jumped on hoping to see an update about the adoption situation but never expected to see THIS!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! Our house was robbed shortly after my husband and I first got married. They stole our TV, laptops, some construction material (my husband was doing construction at the time) and two sprites. I was upset about the loss, especially as there were some documents and pictures on my laptop that I can never recover. I was even more upset about the loss of security I felt - they stole my peace of mind. That is something that is so difficult to deal with.
I'm praying for you all and hope that your things (especially your lock box) gets returned!!!
