There is a special place in Purgatory

[LochnarITB]

The only thing missing that we can see is a number of coins - proof silver dollars of each of the past 20 years.

Considering how stupid those type of people are, I would bet that those coins went to buy beer and cigarettes at the local convenience store.

One was a Tiffany design that had 2600 individually cut, wrapped and soldered pieces in it. One was a sampler that my husband had made to show all the kinds of glass he had ever worked with, as a guide to selecting glass for other projects. It had at least 1200 individual pieces of glass in it.

There is one small, albeit very small, bright side. Anyone that does projects like that always look at them when finished and think, "if only I would have..." , but don't go back and do them "better". Now he can go back and make the improvements.

I have no recourse against these anonymous bastards.

I am sorry for the grief these low lifes have brought to you. I can certainly understand the violation and the helplessness you feel in not being able to place blame on someone real.

I know that fulminating here is not going to accomplish anything. But I did need to get this off my chest to be able to get to sleep tonight.

Isn't there a potion to take care of that? I seem to remember selling bunches of them. Actually, I think this is a great place to blow off a bit. The core people here form a fairly tight little group and they are certainly willing to listen and commiserate. If it did you good to post it, then it was worth the time to read it. All I can offer is that this too shall pass. Luckily, nobody was home. It is hard to say what might have happened if they had broken in and one of you was sleeping there. Things can be replaced or rebuilt or forgotten. Good luck with any further hassle that comes from the incident.
