Having been through a home burglary, I know exactly how you feel. We were well compensated for the monetary loss, but there is no compensation for the sentimental value. Years later I still regret the loss of some of the silliest little things. But, as Jaguar said, the memories attached to the things can never be taken from you. I hope you're feeling more at peace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-stuffsentimental-value#post-754775 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:25:57 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 754775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That it is terrible, RedM. I'm sorry that you have to go through this. It may be of little consolation, but even when the stuff is gone, the sentiments and memories remain. I do understand what you mean about the guilt, though. *Hugs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-stuffsentimental-value#post-754734 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:29:23 +0000 Mo 754734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I agree the sense of violation is much worse than the amount the items may be worth. thankfully no one was harmed and it is just stuff, albeit sentimental stuff that holds meaning for us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-stuffsentimental-value#post-754563 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:47:01 +0000 Inge 754563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry this happened to you RedM. Unfortunately sentimental items are irreplaceable (they're not just stuff, but items with lots of emotions and good memories attached to them). There's nothing to feel guilty about, but I know it can take time to process all your feelings. Take care and hang in there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-stuffsentimental-value#post-754487 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:04:28 +0000 Louise 754487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(((Hugs))) its a truly awful feeling x we had an attempted burglary a few months back, we must have got home just in time to disturb them as they'd got the window open but hadn't got in. We still felt violated that they'd been in the garden and I was extremely upset as my furbaby tigger was out in the garden at the time and while he wasn't hurt he's a nervy cat and it took me ages to coax him back in as it spooked him them being in the garden. I think guilt is perhaps a common feeling, I felt terrible because I hadn't left any lights on and stayed out later than I'd intended x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-stuffsentimental-value#post-754403 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:13:08 +0000 Angie 754403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! How AWFUL :(</p> <p>One feels so violated after a burglary. (((HUGS))). </p> <p>I am so sorry that your sentimental stuff was stolen as it is irreplaceable. But of course, it's not your fault. Just rotten luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-stuffsentimental-value#post-754375 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:57:21 +0000 celia 754375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It must be a terrible sensation to have our house entered and our personal stuff touched .<br /> But you don't have to feel guilty at all, it could happen to anyone. The important thing is that you and your loved ones are safe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-stuffsentimental-value#post-754367 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:42:32 +0000 RedM 754367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just a rant. Our home was recently burglarized. The good news is that we were not home, they left our cat alone, and it appears it was a crime of opportunity and they only took what would fit on their person. Unfortunately, that was my jewelry and a coin collection given to me by my parents. While none of it was terribly expensive--I was wearing most of the more expensive stuff (another reason not to save that stuff for a special occasion), almost all of it had sentimental value as it was gifted to me. I keep trying to tell myself, it's just stuff, but it's not really helping. I think I'd feel better if they were items I had purchased myself. I have this weird sense of guilt about the whole thing. End of rant. </p>
