Violated

We woke up this morning kind of late; both of us were very tired from a long week. I finally checked my phone around 10, the ringer had been off, and there were two messages and three calls, which is somewhat unusual for Saturday morning. Our contractor had called and left a message... our house had been burglarized last night. Sigh.

It turned out that the thief or thieves had broken down the door to the locked room which was intended to be the office. The door is in pieces -- they tried to bust through the door first, and failing that, broke the door frame and busted in. They stole selected things in the room, and left other things untouched. It really looked (to me) like someone knew what they were going in there to get, which makes me a little bit more worried. But most of all it's a creepy creepy feeling to know that someone has violated the sanctity of your home.

So now we're in a quandry. What do we do? Should we move back home right away? Or should we just wait it out until next weekend? Should we have all the doors rekeyed?

Monday I'm going to go to the city (again) and ask them to turn on our gas. If they say no, we might just move back and use the apartment as a place to shower and that's it. If they say yes, then we'll move back as soon as we can get the gas turned on.
