There are moments...

ARrrrrghh. My brother's apartment was robbed for the second time in a week! Last Thursday and again today, Tuesday.
Someone apparently looking for money or drugs or something to hock. Thursday it was the dvd/vcr combo and 20.00. Today it was a 30 inch television that Sam bought with his IRS refund. A 300.00 set. The reason they didn't take it last time is it weighs a LOT. This time, they didn't care. They took it anyway. And the NEW DvD/VCR combo. Totally trashed the apartment.
*sigh*
So... I'm sitting here, watching Unbreakable and listening to my tummy brumble from cheap pizza. The anger has faded, but the impotent frustration is still there. I spent about 4 hours on this goofy map of BP&G's world. This was after I wrote a bit, and realized I had lost the perspective of the place. It's not widely populated, but there are specific places and specific events that happen in specific places. They are a distance away, and just how far is it? I completely forgot. Then... about 6:30 pm, I got the call from Sam.
*sigh* Tomorrow, I go to Radio Shack and pick up a spy camera to see if we can't vid the bastards. If they get identified, then the police have something to go by... and so do I.
