Snowflake and MW, I know the feeling well. my wife and I were burlarized on xmas eve one year. they took every present under the tree but one. mostly I think they left that one because we came home. I still think I know who it was, but knowing and proving are sadly different things.
yeah, its very violating and hard to get over initially. however many lessons were learned from that instance. one is that xmas is more than presents. I still view that xmas as one of the more spiritual and unforgetable ones we ever shared. another is that 'things' are just 'things'. everyone was safe and alive and unhurt, so overall...no permanent harm done. not to mention that someone would be hard pressed to get into my place undetected anymore.
this too shall pass my friend.
