bboyminn:

I'm amazed at how STUPID the average criminal is. If she
was really smart she would have sneeked in grabbed the 
things of most obvious value and been gone. But Nooooooo, she
had to waste time trashing the place, stopping for lunch and 
a nap. 

Really, I swear the average criminal acts with a deep seated
wish to get caught, either because they think it enhances 
their 'bad boy' reputation or because they really do hope 
some one will stop them. 

The only redeeming aspect of it all, is that, in this case,
the criminal was so stupid that they didn't get anything
but more prison time. 

Sorry, you has some of your stuff was trashed. I suspect the
D&D miniatures were collectibles, and if not now, then someday 
would have been worth a significant amount of money.

I guess it is fortunate for us all the criminal are so stupidly
irrational because it virtually guarantees they will get caught,
if not for the crime against us, then certainly for some other
crime eventually. 

I guess people who are smart enough to commit smart crimes are 
smart enough to know that crime doesn't pay. 

Hope you can get things back on track again soon.
