Thoroughly de-Sparkled	[Jun. 30th, 2008\|10:10 am]
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.

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

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

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.

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

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 ;)

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.
