I was sitting outside my school yesterday, in broad daylight right next to a busy street. I had just closed the top of my laptop, still on my lap, still looking directly at it and two 16 year old gypsies ran up, grabbed my laptop and ran up the hill. I screamed my lungs out- now I have a cough from the screaming- ran up the hill but lost them. It's been a horrible 24 hours. Have filed a police report. Am using a friends computer. There are 3 fortunate things though:
1. I have my computer backed up
2. It was not a crime against me, it was purely just something to snatch and sell
3. The Programs travel insurance covers the cost of the stolen item
Whenever I think about that moment I do freak out and panic though. I'm fine though. Just here. So there will probably be a longer wait for the next real post.

oh my gosh I'm sorry that really sucks! Whats worse is they probably weren't holding it with two hands!
ReplyDeleteIts a good thing that you have insurance to cover it, now you get a brand new one!
oh noooo irene that is so scary and horrible :( that is really good that your computer is backed up though, it would majorly suck to have lost all that information. but how scary and frustrating. good job for screaming. did no one come try to help? at least they just grabbed it and didn't hold you at gunpoint and try to rob you or something like that.
ReplyDeletehahah joseph did you actually just ask what gypsies are?
All I know about gypsies I learned from the Hunchback of Notre Dame (the Disney version) and Brad Pitt's character in Snatch. So as far as I know they are one of two things: 1) Good boxers who talk funny or 2)really hot dark skinned women.
ReplyDeleteDarling darling dearest I'm so sorry to hear about all this bad news! When it rains it storms. But when it comes to good things too. Karma, karma. Good things are coming your way, guaranteed, now. I love you and i miss you badly! I have reached for the phone many a time to call you and I simply can't. Skype date soon? love you.
