Understandably that you are angry but I don't want to preach as I know you know the answers. Those perpetrators are not the winners although it looks like it.

My daughter has moved to rented accommodation while their house is being refurbished and extra extensions built. They had only been out a few days when the site was broken into after the builders had left for the day. Lots of equipment stolen. They have now had to put the digger inside the house and barricade up. Also put the portaloo against a now boarded up area.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799594980600477320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-69192784221627577122017-05-01T21:54:27.592-04:002017-05-01T21:54:27.592-04:00Now I'm mad for you.

Give me a little while and I'll try and follow your example and calm down. I once went out to drive home from work and my car was gone! Whoever took it had an accident in it and the police recovered it at that time. <br />As for the witness, I am prone to question things going on at my neighbor's homes. If it's legit they should have no problem answering my questions. We've had a lot of things stolen around here and pretty much watch out for each other. Still, they manage to do the darndest things. Sorry about your stuff. I get mad just thinking about it!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-3722872555662894012017-04-27T15:37:10.975-04:002017-04-27T15:37:10.975-04:00Well that just stinks!

I think I would start out by telling your tenant that in future, you will come to the door and tell her if anything is going to be removed, and if she sees someone in there and hasn't been notified she needs to call the police. It certainly takes some nerve for the thieves to have shoveled their way in, carted things off and then shoveled to cover their tracks all while someone was home! Unbelievable! After I had a good rant to someone I would have to convince myself it was just stuff and that I couldn't let it continue to steal my peace. Having said that, you seem to be handling it as well as anyone could. These kind of things can really throw a person into turmoil. I'm praying that God helps you let go of the pain and anger.

I always tell myself when things aren't right that God has a lesson for me to learn in this, but sometimes it's difficult (in the human body) to understand. As you know and you are feeling now ~ only faith and knowing that God is taking care of things helps in these situations. I'm so sorry, Vee, that this happened to you. I think it's time that I look into home security.

Another thought I had was that if he had saved any of the owner's manuals for any of the items (and lots of people will save those, even men, if they think that they may need to order a part for said item at a later date), often times the serial number may be in the owner's manual or tucked in on a separate card.

It makes me angry too. I cannot stand a liar nor a thief. And as a friend of mine said once, "If you will lie, you will steel". I have had things stolen before too and it just boils your blood. I had our little shed ram-shacked once and all our fishing things, tools and lots of stuff was stolen. We dealt with it. But one day I came home to my home being broken into. I felt violated! Guns, ammo and etc. stolen. It's frightening no doubt. But having John's things stolen I know makes you sick to your stomach. I am so very sorry that you had to deal with that.

I'm wondering, did John register any of his equipment? Perhaps you could get serial numbers from the registration information? I always try to register big ticket items. That could be a place to start. What a tragic terrible mess for you to deal with, and to think they covered their tracks back up? Are you sure the tenant isn't involved? I'll be praying for you, that the Lord would give you wisdom in this situation!
