Goodbye stuff, I didn't need you anyway



I keep going to update Twitter and Facebook with a witty remark about how our flat was turned into an episode of CSI last night (see above for newly-dusted point of entry), or asking people to keep an eye out for people running around London in my clothes, or even starting a campaign to #findmyimac, but none if it seems fitting for the day after the night some **** invaded our home.

But weirdly, it feels OK to share stuff on this blog. Longer form writing seems to fit in these instances. So... Erm...

I know! I'll write a list.

Five things I found out in the last 14 hours

Sleeping's tough when a stranger's been rummaging around in your bedroom that day.
Online backup of your photos is a really, really good idea.
You can never have enough window locks.
I probably won't miss my iPad.
I'm thankful we are fine and that is the most important thing.

Shit.

Absolutely awful news.

I'm pleased the two of you are ok. Apart from the obvious upset of course.

Best,

Sean

This seriously sucks man. I had my bike stolen when I moved here but I can't imagine how I'd feel after having my house broken into. I'm just glad you guys are okay.

So sorry to hear Jon! But glad to know you two are well. Take care. Weren't you moving to a new house?

"keep an eye out for people running around London in my clothes"... okay, so I'll make sure I watch out for someone who looks like he was just attacked by a Fred Perry catalogue? (sorry - I figured a joke was the best remedy)
