Feeling much better. Inventory of my house turned up an abandoned bag that isn’t mine. Got my iPad and wallet back…and some paperwork with a name and address on it.

Just got off the phone with the crime scene people. They want that paperwork

I’m so glad you got your stuff back and the main thing is that you’re ok

That’s great to hear you got your stuff back.

She must have panicked when you got back inside and dropped everything and bolted.

Something that’s been on mind is how quickly it happened as well.

She must have been camping and casing the place for everything to have happened like you described.

Think from now on you’ll need to lock the door behind you before you leave for anything.

I hope the police manage to catch up with this thief with the paperwork she left behind.

Oh, they do. I had these random creepy women keep coming back knocking at all hours. One of them then got arrested on the block with an elderly neighbours set of keys on her.

That was a few years ago and I’d forgotten about it but note to self.

Steal her identity back /s (For legal purposes this is a joke)

I’m glad you got your stuff back. Now I’m going to be thinking of this every bin run

Thank goodness that woman was dumb enough to stop, drop and run and you don’t need to replace your cards. Best possible result after everything. I agree that unfortunately it sounds like you’ll have to lock your door behind you any time you pop out now though.

A fine specimen. Peelings are a possible source. There may be more lurking in the undergrowth.

Headed down the coast, and competed with the tourists. While it was absolutely insane, I’m kind of glad I went, it was super lovely and warm out.

Little picture of my outing-

That’s pretty much what I got very sunburnt doing! I threw off my shoes, and like most tropically raised Australians living in/visiting the south walked into water and immediately froze to death when I forgot sea water is not warm here.

Doing my part by driving around blasting The Beards with the window down. Just got home. I got that Murray St ice cream AND they had a boysenberry one so I grabbed that too. Also party pies and sausage rolls.

God DAMN it I just now realised I forgot ice magic.

Anyway… I also got chocolate. Don’t shop if you haven’t eaten since breakfast the day before.

Damn. If you have coconut oil you can melt a little of that together with some chocolate to make an emergency Ice Magic? If you wanted to that is https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=coconut+oil+chocolate+shell

I’m such a bad person. Just to even it out, make sure you get some green leafies in your diet at some point. I feel better now ☺
