Today we learned that someone stole money from our apartment. We had kept some savings in a vase in the window behind a curtain, and unfortunately, it seems that someone (or maybe there was more than one person) decided that they needed our money more than we did.
So we had to file a police report tonight and tomorrow I have to call the insurance company and file the report with them. None of that will help replace the money (about $2000 USD) thought. It i just administration.
At this point, because we have referred the matter to the police, it’s hard to say more. However, what I can say is that my faith is somewhat shaken. When you open your home to people, you expect certain behaviours and attitudes towards. It’s a pity that kindness and generosity was absued.
I’m buying a safe tomorrow (maybe as an expensive lesson to be learned), but I am sad because in my own home I don’t feel like I should have to.
I can say one thing though…it will be a while before the kind and generous Rodney makes any kind of return. His faith has been badly shaken. It’s just now to try and understand whether the wound was mortal… 🙁
