Well, so much for...

[batninja]

...the rest of my season. 

My apartment got broken into Friday night, and in addition to my laptop, the theives inexplicable stole my duffle bag of Rengarb.  Fifteen years of memories, knives, pouches, pins (including my R/F pin, not sure if those are still available), mugs, and other collectibles...gone.

They took my basket-hilt and my rapier.  And even though the box was sitting right next to my bag of Rengard, they left my brand-new Sandlar boots.

I have renters' insurance, so I'll get most of my stuff back, I just won't have anything back in time for closing weekend.  So I guess I'll see everyone at TRF!

I mean, who steals a duffle bag full of Rennie clothes?

[haleyileaha]

Oh no that's so terrible.  I'm sorry. To me the garb would be worse than the electronics because of the sentimental value, all the memories and such so I'm sure your feeling pretty bummed.

[bookwench]

Damn, that sucks!  The weapons I guess I can understand ('oooh, shiny!'), but why steal a bag o' clothes?  That's just mean. 

[DonaCatalina]

That is so horrible! It makes me ill just thinking about it.
But if its any consolation, they're probably so dumb that they'll be caught sooner rather than later.
Watch ebay for your garb.

[Rani Zemirah]

Some people should just be shot...  Stealing is contemptible, but stealing a person's joy is beneath low!!! 

I'm so sorry...

[eloquentXI]

I'm so sorry. :-(

[Captain Teague]

They should return to the old days when they removed thieves hands....

I despise thieves...

Very sorry to hear of your loss.

[THELADYKAT]

I am so very sorry been there it sucks i am truly sorry.

[Lady Kett]

Ugh that's awful Batninja.

[Bonny Pearl]

Oh wow, I am sorry this happened to you!

It makes you wonder if the thief even looked in the bag.... it doesn't seem like garb would be something easy to pawn for cash.  But who knows. 

[lys1022]

Having had garb stolen when our car was stolen several years ago, I totally empathize.  Check the local secondhand stores for the garb and check pawn shops for the weapons.

I hope you get things back.

[LadyStitch]

Was the weapons in the bag with the clothing? Our guess is that they just took the bag thinking you had all kinds of 'goodies' in there.

Someone told me today that someone broke in and store they dagger they have had on their person for 30 years. Depressed doesn't cover it. 

[Queen Bonnie]

 That is just horrible! I will put a curse on the thief! POOF!
Hugs! I am so sorry for your loss! Stealing garb is rotten!

[captmarga]

They most likely saw the knives, and then used the bag to transport the loot.  When my office was broken into two years ago, they carried stuff out in our trash cans. 

You might get lucky and find some of it in a dumpster or pawn shop.

CaptMarga, that reminds me of a story from years past (when you get old, you tell stories...)

A friend who worked for Radio Shack had taken home some boxes to put some garbage in to take to the dump. He went to work with the boxes in the back of his pickup. While he was inside, someone stole all the boxes out of his pickup truck. I can just imagine their surprise when they got home with their loot and found dirty diapers (or whatever) in the boxes of "stereo equipment." Don't you just love karma?
