Ya know......as I've said before, this is my first holiday season in Criminal Investigations and MY GOD, I CANNOT BELIEVE the rash of burglaries we're having. I've processed 13 scenes in just 8 days.......it's SAD, why do people have to RUIN someone's holidays? Sorry for the rant.......this is a tough job but yet, I LOVE it...I just HATE seeing people coming up for the holidays only to have their summer cabins ransacked and precious memories taken for DRUG MONEY

Soem criminals are THAT desperate.

Back at my 6th grade Theater Arts class in early 1998, a few of the teacher's music tapes were stolen over the Spring Break by some teens that wanna get their heroin fix.

That is so sad, Dennis. I know what it's like to come home
and find your things scattered about the floor, drawers
yanked out on the floor, large items missing (i.e. stereo
systems, musical instruments) - even the food from the
kitchen cubbards thrown about all over the place. Personal
items - underwear - (*heeeey - that's gettin' pretty dang
personal!) lying about. You feel personally violated.
That's the last way those folks wanted to feel, especially
attempting to have a fun and festive holiday!

I have never been the victim of a home invasion, I have however had my vehicles broken into in the back yard so I can ONLY imagine what that feels like Breeze! 99.99% of the burglaries I investigate like I said are Summer CABINS ya know........3200' sq. ft. CABINS with multi million $$'s worth of art work on the walls etc, etc so it really doesn't bother the owners TOO much, I mean it does but it doesn't (know what I mean Vern?)

Dennis

I know whut ye mean, Vern! My stuff, on the other hand,
was, well...all my stuff! I guess I think that my Peavy
Foundation Bass guitar was somewhat equivalent to their
bootleg Van Gogh painting!
