• I'm back.............again.................for now.
  
  Sister's place got robbed last night.....I felt so angry. Then I felt fear for the safety of my family. Lucky no one was home at her house. But then I don't think the thieves would break in if there were people there. But you never know... My bro-in-law's lap top was stollen, aswell as my nephew's wallet and a few other things. Why would a robber steel a little kids wallet? The robber didn't do a very good job at stealing though for some reason, but he/she sure made a huge mess. They went through nearly every thing, and I mean EVERYTHING. They looked through all the items in the closets, all the clothes, all the draws and basically treasure hunted through the whole house. They probably thought we hid money in our clothes or something. They even went through the pots and pans! YES, the POTS and PANS!!! Can you believe it? Makes me think they must have been desperate. They didn't take any of them though.I would probably guess it was either one or two people, otherwise they would have taken more stuff. Luckily, they did not take any passports or important documents. At least they still have a concience. But it's not like the passports is worth anything to them, I guess. My sis' place was actually quite secure, or so I thought. They are installing an alarm system tomorrow, so I'm going to have to take my little nephys to swimming. Poor Chris got his wallet stollen.
  
  This incident reminds me of so many previous incidents, it makes me so depressed and angry. But then I think my social work studies have gotten into my system. I keep looking at things from different angles or different perspectives. and different layers or levels of analysis. I start thinking about things from even the robber's perspective.
  
  "They must have been desperate..." or very greedy.
  
  "Society has something to do with this...." but then individuals have a choice in most circumstances.
  
  "Maybe they needed the money...." but so does a lot of people and they don't go robbing people.
  
  Argh, sometimes I can be too analytical sometimes. That's good and bad I suppose, as with most things...
  
  There I go again.
