The Crime of the Century
So yesterday, I arrived home (Casa El Mar) to a very angry Norwiegien (sp?) He informed me that while everyone was gone in the afternoon, someone had broken into the house and stolen his things.....ipod with speakers, new laptop, camera, cash, etc. Well, that sounded like a problem. Of course, it became MORE of a problem when I realized that I was also missing an iPod, camera, and sunglasses.
Yea, apparently someone had broken into the room and made off with a bunch of electronics. Bummer.....the GOOD news is that they didn't take my passport. Also, even though they had gone through my clothes (strewn about) and suitcase (clothes/things also strewn about), they had not taken an envelope with cash that was in the bottom of the suitcase. Did they NOT realize that a bank envelope might contain cash? My wallet, with my credit cards, more cash, ID, etc., was with me, thankfully.
Anyway, the police came out and filled out a report etc., but there really isn't anything anyone can do at this point.
So I suppose that's the way it goes. Que Sera Sera!
Actually, I'm finding myself with little concern for this event. I had NO pictures on the camera, the music on the iPod is all on my computer, and the sunglasses are certainly easy to replace. So in reality, the fact that the "rich american" has to spend a few bucks isn't a problem. Who knows, maybe my homeowners insurance will even kick in a few bucks. AND...I now have an excuse to update the iPod when I get back!!!!
Do I feel violated? Am I a victim? Naaaa.... Right now, I'm just a gringo having a great time South of the Border.
PURA VIDA!!!
