scumbags broke into my house a few years back. my pregnant wife and 2 year old daughter came home and found the place trashed. they took thousands in jewerly and computers. It was horrible. thankfully, no one was home, which the police suspected was the robber's plan. I lost 2 albums (about 75% complete) and will literally never recover that artistic work. insurance paid out, but only up to x amount, so 5k did not get us the 13k lost in jewelry, etc.

how do you recover? you really can't. We've since moved, and always take measures to secure the house (even though the robbers got in through the bathroom beating our security measures). I can never get that work back and there's always a little part of me that realizes you can never really stop something like that. in and out in less than 5 mins. even with an alarm blaring, they can grab n go.

I'm sorry you were wronged and hope that you and those you love are safe.
