Damn it!

We just got burgled - sort of it. Turns out (after some quick work by the cops - thank you, Officers Lothian and Cross!) that it was one of the kids from next door. Nothing was taken but my partner's underwear had been .... ummm .... "disturbed" shall we say? In addition, he had left some underwear in our house from a previous burglary just up the road (they are friends of ours so she could identify that underwear too). Underwear shopping tomorrow!

We decided not to press charges if the parents agreed to get help for their son and that he both apologises for his actions in writing and promises to stop doing it.

I just hope that was the right thing to do.

I shouldn't laugh, but I had a cat that stole lacy underwear from people's clotheslines. We'd find it in the kitchen when she brought it in as her kill.

That almost sounds ridiculous enough to be a major plot point in a comedy. But in real life...totally creepy. Wow.
