When I was 19 I had a shitty apartment in a bad area. Only theft I had was out of my 'storage' unit down by parking. I was naive enough to not think it would be a problem. They simply pried the lock off the crappy wooden door.
I lost an NES, SNES, and about...geez almost 100 games if not more. My brothers and I had gotten games over the years and they gave me all the original Nintendo games and the system when I moved out. I had also bought holiday decorations (a lot of Halloween stuff) etc. All gone.
I was pretty broke, so all the stuff I had bought was a BIG purchase for me. Cops came out made a report...and weren't going to do anything else. I went bonkers. They didn't realize the value of the games until I told them...then more people came, they dusted for prints, took photos of the crime scene the whole shebang. Alerts to local pawn shops, etc.
Never got my stuff back.
I was pretty broken up about it.
On a happier note, I once lost my wallet while living there with all my rent money plus pretty much my food and expenses money for the month in it. (Landlord got all pissy about checks at one point cause bunch of people [not me!] bounced checks so we had to pay cash for like 3 mos) ANYWAY...it was returned without a penny missing as I was frantic on the phone with one of my best friends trying to figure out what I was going to DO without that money. Weirder still, the person who returned it was the wife of her husband's best friend growing up. Small world.
Anyhoo, point being there's far more good people in the world, at least in my experience, than bad. Just the bad really sticks out especially when someone steals your stuff.
