Since this is a ranting topic.. I guess I can rant about this... have any of you been robbed before? Not just your average muggins, but till the point where your house was turned into a trash zone, and the second you come home from your activity, feeling light headed and happy, it just seeps it right out off you? To know that you've come home to your house being ran sacked and invaded by strangers, and them being already long gone.
My house got broken in. The thieves made off with an estimated 75 thousand dollars worth of jewelry, gold, and cash. Along with my family's mini vault, which contained my whole family's passports, birth certificates, and my youngest brother's identity card.
It stunned me at first, and it didn't sink in till later on. Knowing that my family has lost what could be my university fee's or one for my younger brother. My grandmother's diamond necklace, and heirloom that was passed down from every generation of daughters when they turned 21. It will never be given to me, it was a platinum necklace encrusted with diamonds, and though not one of the most expensive items, it held history in my family, one that I don't think ill have the privilege to pass down to my own daughter.
I feel angry, yet so powerless. The inspectors have already spoken to my father. But it seems we're hitting a dead end, and would probably not recover what we have lost... to add insult to injury, today's the last day of chinese new years, where people in my religion would pray and celebrate the closing of the new years, and to seal the "luck" we are too have for the rest of the year.
....I'm glad that none of my family members are hurt, that none of us were there to witness anything or to be unfortunate enough to get hurt in any way... but...... it hurts.
