We are not amused.

We are not amused #1: I will be starting MY new year with two wisdom tooth extractions. And some fillings. And some replacements of old fillings. That I am not doing this until after the New Year has to do with how big a bite out of my benefit maximum for the year that root canal and the perio treatments took.

We are not amused #2: I came downstairs this morning to go to Investiture and discovered that someone had managed to pop my camper shell open. This is with my truck parked on the corner in full view of the house and fairly close to a street light. The lock appears to be completely undamaged, BTW.
Known to be missing are the folding garden cart I bought and used exactly once AND the sugoroku box and its contents, which included two very nice teapots, lots of cheap tea cups, the two tiered jubako one of my Tousando-ites gave me as a gift two years ago and the brocade futon cover I picked up at the flea market and use to decorate the House of Cheerful Monkeys. I can rebuild the box. I can replace tea things and other serveware at Daiso, but that futon cover was a random lucky find and I'll probably never see any of this stuff again.

In the plus column, we're getting Else and Heinrich for Thanksgiving. :)

Sorry about your day. Some days should be fired.

Bummer!,

The older shells are very easy to pop. : /

I added a locking hasp to one side of mine, it's a simple key and twist hasp, but even on only one side it prevents the door from being opended more than 2-3 inches on the other side.

What manner of tools/skillset does that require? If I can do it myself, I will.

Cool, they're nice folks I would not mind getting to know a bit better.

It needs a drill and a screwdriver, : >

Let me take a couple photos tomorrow and I post them to you so you know just what I'm talking about.

Excellent. I'd rather not end up with something that can be easily pried off because I didn't do it right in the first place. Thank you, sir!

I'm so sorry about the stupid thefts. :( Little good (or potential $$) the sugoroku box might get the F-ing bastard, as it's a "niche item", but it's a real pisser for you to lose. :(

Also, sorry about the wisdom tooth extractions. I had mine all out in my 20s - my older kid had hers out by 18 (in 2 installments). Hopefully younger won't need hers out AT ALL, as we can't really afford it these days.... :/

Ouch!

I'm sorry to hear that--what a bad day! (wrt #2, break-ins are so infuriating and violating, even when the items can be replaced) :-/

Grrrr - the only thing worse than having stuff stolen, is having irreplacable stuff stolen that is useless to the thief.

I'm so sorry to hear about this :(

Man, crappy news all around. :(

I'm glad more wasn't taken or damaged. That thief had to be pretty ballsy. Wow.
