Don't you feel violated when something you expected to be in it's place is stolen?

My brother and I each have small propane grills for an occasional steak or grilled veggies. Mine was my Christmas present to myself. The one time I used it was on Christmas day to make a steak.

Someone stole the regulator and 2 full bottles of gas.

All I could think of was, I wonder who had the opportunity to even know they were there. Mine was hidden behind the stairs and not easily seen unless you've passed it a number of times and happened to notice it.

I'm upset that I no longer have a grill. The regulator costs more to replace than what I paid for the grill.  But it was a done deal. It took over an hour to assemble it and I had an option to grill if I wanted to.

So some thief decided to change my life.

It reminds me of the thief we call smoking. We never knew how much it took from us until we stopped letting it.

To me a thief is someone thats doesn't want to work to get something but will steal it from someone else. Sorry you lost your grill Dale.

I am also sorry that there has to be thieves in this that live among us but it does take all kinds to make the world go around. You are so right about the thief we called smoking, I only have 200 days in but I definitely know how much of my time was wasted on cigarettes. Thanks Dale.

Sorry about the grill, Dale and YES, I feel violated when someone steals something.  Believe it or not, someone stole a copper fountain from outside of the house after the fire. I had set it on the side of the house to pick up later, I did not take it right away because of the smell...when I went back, it was gone.  I was sick over it, absolutely sick.  Some people amaze me but most amaze me for GOOD reasons and I try to remember that.

I lived in NYC half my life.  I had my purse picked at least three times, stolen in front of my eyes off a table in a restaurant by a guy running by, bike stolen, apartment robbed, car battery stolen from a garage, car stolen and stripped in LA - I know all about thievery.  It's the irreplacebale items, the mementos that hurt the most.

That robber thief Nicodemon is never gonna steal another moment of my life.  I'm wise to him and I've learned how to protect myself.  In the beginning it's one day at a time.  At my stage - it's having eyes in the back of my head.  I can smell him and I know what to do to protect myself.  Come HERE and read and reaffirm!

Sorry  Dale..... No steak?

When I was younger, I felt extremely violated, now I just get pissed at the inconvenience and expense.... unless it was personal, then my heart aches.

And Ellen..... copper is gold these days. Sorry you got ripped off too. It sucks! 

Stay smoke free, nobody can steal that if we don't hand it over.
