They caught the crooks....kinda. Posted May 15, 2007
Well....finally some good news for Mother's Day!!! (Those of you remember Mother's Day 2001 don't you??? When I slipped & fell at work and dislocated & broke my right shoulder and arm????) Anyway....I digress...this Mother's Day was good. Not fantastic, but I'll take good any day....considering my options lately!
We got a call from the police when we got back home from taking my adoptive mom-in-law out for lunch....they recovered some of our stuff!!! Yipee!!!
Went to the police station (CVPD) to identify the stuff they recovered...I now know too much about how to catalog evidence. About half the stuff they recovered from this tweeker's room was from my family. All the family jewelry was GONE, baby, GONE. They knew their stuff...they got into the safe and just weeded out the good stuff. I got left with all the sentimental, but not worth very much stuff. On the bright side, the one guy they busted had about half of the stolen savings bonds hidden in his room, so we can definitely get him for receiving stolen goods. I also got left with 3 empty Patron bottles in a beautiful broken display case.
Later yesterday afternoon, the detective called me to meet him at a pawn shop and HOOORAY!!! we recovered my dad's diamond ring. Unfortunately...in order to get it back, my brother and I will have to pay the pawnshop owners $600...the money they had paid the deadbeat tweaker who had pawned it.
Well...I said the Karma Wheel had started to turn on the evil-doers....I didn't say that it was a very fast wheel, or that it was an always fair wheel...just that it has started to turn...and in the right direction!
Well...that's it from here....will keep you posted with more....if you want. If you want off this merry-go-round, just let me know and I'll take you off the mailing list!
Love to all,
Mel
