My Rant About People Who Steal…….

       Why on earth do you need to take people things? Those things are not yours! Work your own long hours and save up your money to buy things yourself! Is your life really going to be all that better when you have someone else’s stuff. Part of the joy of having things is because we remembered how many days we worked to finally save up the money to buy it. And you, whoever you are, come in like it’s your hard earned thing and take it. What are you going to do with it now? It’s not your memories poured into it, not your photos, and poetry and skits, and wedding planning lists saved on it! You’ll probably sell it to someone else, who could also care less about the memories I had saved on it. grrr. I haven’t been angry in a long time, and I’m angry……at you for taking my laptop.

I realized Sunday afternoon, after working the two longest, hardest weeks of the year, that I was stole from. My roomates said they heard a commotion Saturday at 6 am in the living room, but thought nothing of it because we are coming and going all the time. Somebody walked into our house and pick up my roommates snowboard and my personal laptop and walked out….all while we slept. 45 minutes later and I would have been in the shower getting ready for work. grr.

Hours upon hours of stuff is on my laptop. I know I should have backed it up. but just like that GONE…..all of my pictures from new orleans, GONE, all of my wedding planning, GONE, all of my skits and plans for my local church, GONE, personal poetry, memories, and my parents 25th anniversary slide show, GONE.

What drives people to steal? I can’t remember EVER stealing, uhg I am so….sad, heart broken, bumped completely out. For those of you who know me….you’ll agree that besides my engagement ring…my laptop was the only thing I even owned with value to it(if you don’t know me, I’ll show you my car, it’s not nice), I don’t have a lot of stuff, and it was a big commitment for me to even purchase one….and despite whatever I can come up with, reasons I didn’t deserve to be ripped off…..it’s still GONE.

    If it makes you feel any better, I had a lens stepped on and totally trashed at a wedding this weekend.  The guy looked right at me after he did it and kept on walking without saying a word.  I heard the snap, crackle, popping from about 10 feet away, can only imagine what he heard and felt.  Some people are just plain rude!  (I am sure that didn’t make you feel any better, but maybe it took your mind off of it for 2 minutes?!)
