so as anyone standing in the vicinity near by to me last week would have heard, I was burgled and although I was asleep through the event and was not traumatised much I lost a lot in terms on monetary value. Oh maybe slightly traumatised since I get the chills when I think about the naughty little man having the audacity to walk into my bedroom while I was sleeping and picking up my handbag, and laptop (inside its bag) and my cellphone from right next to my head off my bedside table.
But other than that its a material hole in my pocket. And a hole in my heart because I really really liked my bright red cellphone and my nifty little camera.
so here is a list of things I lost that insurance can't really replace.
35 USD and 2 euro coins - more of a talking point than the value itself - yes im silly for keeping USD in my wallet - but perhaps the burglar was Zimbabwean and maybe he can use it better more than me.
many many photos of me with pink hair - no more profile picture updates sadly.
Photos of my trip with my friends up in Magaliesburg taken the day before the camera was stolen.
my entire day-to-day earring collection including some awesome silver hoops and all my beaded creations - all cheap but if I was charging at the hourly as an Electrical engineer for creating the earrings, the value of the loss would run into the R1000's
my brand new Regina Spektor CD - hidden in my laptop bag away from my sneaky brother - sorry for me for being selfish - I hadn't even listened to the CD fully yet!
Photos of Johannesburg - I firmly believe that Joburg is a very beautiful place in winter - ands i happen to work most days until sunset so I had a whole ton of stunning sunset pictures. I'm going to have to wait another year to take photos again to prove my point. the crystal clear dry air and the pollution makes for spectacular sights at 5:30 - 6:00 pm-ish in July!
about 6GB of memory cards.
and more ... but its home time now... I'll have to appreciate the sunset with my eyeballs instead
