Veronica- I too am just so appalled, but not surprised. This kind of activity seems common these days- they probably watched your house for a few days to see your patterns as it sounds like they spent a lot of time looking around once they got in.

As you know, the worst part of this is the identity theft part. Lesson plans can be reinvented- you're a creative teacher so I know you can!!! Aren't you glad winter vacation is coming up?

Let us know if we can do anything for you- especailly those of us who live nearby.

I'm sorry about Thom's personal effects- that's a real bummer.

I too have been through this, but not quite to the extent you have. I too am glad no one was hurt and that your cat (and piano) are okay.

I'm angry for you! Unbelievable. I have only had my cars broken into and that was bad enough...

please DO notify SS Admin about the theft... they may need a copy of the police report... also notify the DMV, all your credit card companies (not just the ones stolen!) and any other agencies for whom they took acct numbers (banks, electric co etc.) Then you may want to sign up with a credit reporting agency and get monthly reports for the next year or so... keep a close eye on it so that your credit is not wrecked by these losers...

what a colossal hassle.

Veronica - I can only imagine the pit that opened in your stomach. My DH and I have experienced theft, but nothing on this scale. What an awful thing to have happen, and during one of the already most stressful times of the year. My sympathies to you.

i do hope they get their karma!!!

so sorry & good luck in getting back to normal....

Oh, I forgot to add--keep your eyes on eBay and craigslist. When Doug's bike was stolen from our garage it took about 3 months of vigilant checking, but it eventually appeared and we got it back.
