It's Been A Rough Season

It's been a rough season. One incident after another for us. Just can't seem to catch a break. No matter how hard El and I try to save some money or get something accomplished our plans are thwarted by some assclown(s), which in turn costs us more money.

Over a week ago I got a call around lunchtime from a hysterical wife. All I heard was "there are men in the house!" WTF?!? I dashed out of work and told her to get out of the house. By the time I got there police were going through the house to make sure no one was still around and people were being questioned.

As Eleanor was pulling into our driveway with the kids a van was sitting there. She pulls up and he backs out with a nod to her. She thinks it's someone who got lost and was turning around. Turns out he was the getaway driver/lookout and two other a$$h*les broke in thru our french doors to rob the place. Also turns out that they were doing this to alot of homes over a long period of time. All three had spent time previously for drugs and burglary.

Our house was ransacked. El came home to find our electronics piled up by the front door inside. With the two kids in hand it was lucky she didn't run into the culprits. What they did manage to take was all the high end jewelry, a laptop and some other small electronics. El was pretty devastated and I was ready to kill someone.

Luckily neighbors were able to get a plate number and ID the bad guys. Thursday they were arrested for breaking into another home. While they are still in jail our lives have been a mess. They'll be out in a few years to terrorize more people I'm sure. Unfortunately the law works for criminals like these guys as well. If it's drugs they want. I say save us the money, time and resources. Lock them in a room with all the drugs they want and let them kill themselves. They're just a waste of space.

I'm with you there. Been a hellish year for us since last August. I'm so glad El was alright after walking in on them and glad you had a good weekend to get back on top of things.
