    Angry Justice? Yeah, right...

    The DA declined to prosecute the folks who were in possession of our stolen goods for our burglary. Just because you have the stuff, doesn't mean you were the one who took it. WTF?

    I am so angry. I guess crime does pay because apparently, if you steal stuff and you get rid of it fast enough, you're not going to get caught.

    I know some of my friends think we're paranoid because we installed a video surveillance system. If I could I'd have a system that included a shotgun. Freakin' people! They really are scum.

    I feel like I'm a weirdo because I actually have values, because I try to do the right thing because it's right. Not because it's convenient or because it suits my agenda. I guess in this world I'm an anomaly.

    Remember if you buy expensive stuff on Craig's List or ebay and the seller doesn't have any proof that they actually bought it, it may be stolen. Especially if it's a really good deal. If the seller doesn't have boxes and receipts, be suspicious. Between watches and camera equipment those pr!cks stole more than $25,000 worth of our stuff. All three of Thom's very high end, unique watches were sold on Craig's List. We couldn't get our police department to follow up on it fast enough. And they sold it all to support their meth habit. Why do people do drugs? What's wrong with them?


    So frustrated and p!ssed!

    PS Feel better now that I've vented. More yoga!

    I'm sorry.

    What about theft by receiving?

    I'm angry, too. Glad the vent made you feel better.

    Yeah, I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV but on the CSI shows I watch that's called "receiving stolen property" but I'm guessing they could not plea bargain to get the scum who stole it.

    You are not a weirdo because you have values, V. If you are then we need more "weirdos" teaching in our schools. You are an athlete, a great teacher and cat-mom with a great relationship and all because you have values. The addict looser may have your "stuff" but it's just "stuff". He can never take that from you nor have those traits himself (I presume a guy?).

    Hugs, V

    Glad you feel better after venting, let the yoga help you release the rest. Easy to say, I know, but the longer you hang on to the anger, the more they win. And, like Trek says, we need more anomalies like you! You will receive something wonderful from someone soon, and it will remind you that there are other good people, like you, in the world. I'm hoping it's something shiny!

    Hugs and big, gentle, peaceful butterflies, full of soul healing and release,

    Let that anger out V!!! That really does stink to high heaven.

    It scares me when I think too much about how easy it is for someone to violate someone elses person/property. I also try to do what's right, because it's the good thing to do, not because of a pay off to me. I really don't understand how people that use or take advantage of others live with themselves. I know a lot of it has to do with addictions. But then I wonder what went wrong that made that individual decide to do meth or cocaine or whatever. Anyway, my head hurts so I'm going to stop thinking about it and focus on what I can do that's good today.

    V--

    I'm so sorry our justice system serves injustice to good people who have been victimized. It makes me angry too when we work, pay our taxes, and live as law abiding citizens only to be shunned by our law enforcement and legal system when we need them most.

    I can only hope that eventually those people will be caught and that justice will be served--eventually.
