My thoughts are with you and your family, Dana.

I found out yesterday that Christmas was hardly drama free for KCD, though not in regards to me or the kids. Something went down with his wife's kids (daughter is a touch younger than K-Bug and son is a bit older than CJ). Lots of yelling and arguing on Christmas and they both moved out to live with their dad before the new year. I don't know most of the details (thankfully), just that the son wanted CJ to give back the hand-me-down snowboard that had been given to CJ when the son outgrew it. Both KCD and his wife stood firm on the fact that it had been given to CJ and was not going to be returned. Oy.

I just woke up and have NO plans for the day. I likey.

Thoughts and prayers with you Dana.

ita, I hope you are out enjoying the movie by now.

I know I am naturally less trusting than most, but I am suspicious of the guy returning the laptop bag and think the cops should be altered to him in case he is actually involved and not another victim. Again, welcome to the way my brain works, and I am often wrong on stuff like this.

I had the same thought, msbelle.

Dana, I'm sorry.

I got up around 7. Made it downstairs. I've been on the couch, sleeping with cats on me ever since. Cold is not being nice to me. Have to go swim now, before the pool closes. Predict bad times.

I had the same thought, also, although I have no idea why he would track ita down and give her the bag if he was involved.

This is what fandom has done to me. Also, FB friends, who I know in RL but haven't seen in ten years, announced that their 8 year old son died of cancer on Christmas Eve. And while my reaction was 95% "how sad and awful", there was 5% of "really? on Christmas Eve he finally dies after two years of fighting?"

Dana, I am so sorry about your loss.

I understand the suspicions, but I think you'd have to be pathological to break into a car, steal the laptop & then return the laptop bag to the owner. Not that it's impossible, but unlikely.

Some people are pathological. I'm just saying, "That would crazy/stupid!" is never a reason to think that a human didn't do something. Humans are kinda nuts. I didn't think he might be a bad guy, though. Guess I'm still somewhat trusting of my fellow crazy humans.

ION, my frakkin' wireless works again. All I did was turn it off, let it rest, and turn it on again. I can't guarantee this happy state of affairs will last, but for now, I'm upstairs on my eeePC AIFG.

See in my head, if I delivered items back in person, I would be casing the homes, also getting info on the owners I would't know from the original theft. Is it a couple, young person, old person, guy, girl, kids, pets? Like I said, welcome to my brain. I am the person who doesn't invite neighbors into my home until we have had many many interactions and usually until I have been in their house first. My psyche, let me show you. Shockingly single, I know.

People, you are insane. The guy who returned the laptop bag is not planning a more elaborate heist than the "smash car window and steal laptop" job.
