Recently, on two separate occasions over the
holidays, my father was the victim of senseless break-ins. This
is directed to those responsible, though I highly doubt these
idiots are intelligent enough to read.
They saw fit to force their way into my dad's
home, unwanted and uninvited, the first time while he was on
errands, the second while he was away celebrating the
approaching New Year. They obviously live close by and knew he
was away. It's nice to know they are neighbours to my father.
It is hoped that it'll be quicker for the police to find out
who they are. I'm sure this is not the first time they have
victimized an innocent person.
The break-ins are horrible enough. Knowing
that they'll probably hawk the items stolen-some of which I
purchased for my father-for drugs makes it even harder to
swallow. I truly do not enjoy knowing that my dad's hard work
will help scum get high. The thieves must really make their
parents proud. I only hope they're not parents. What an
example for kids they would be.
We could have left these events ruin the
holidays, but realizing there are people like this out there,
with no respect for other's property and with no pride sure
makes us a lot happier being who we are. We'll take that as a
little consolation.
I wishing for the thieves that 2006 is filled
with nothing but despair, pain and misery. That's all they
truly deserve. Sooner or later we all get what we
deserve.
