The Break-In.. dun dun dun

I left for work this morning at 8am, so that I would be there by 8:30am. And work went well - we ran a couple of experiments in the morning, and then a couple more in the afternoon, and then I left at 4:30pm to go to class.

So I walked off campus, and down the street a couple of blocks, until I reached the Queensland Scientific and Forensic Pathology Services lab. And class was uneventful, and it even ended a whole 15 minutes early. =D

Afterwards, I walked home, and upon entering the back door, I saw that my room door was open. Oh noes! And I walked into my room, and all the drawers had been pulled open, the closets had been gone through, and the other door to my room had been used There is a bookcase that normally blocks the door and it had been pushed forward. Normally, when I leave the house in the morning, my bed is made, all my closet doors are shut, and my room door is locked. When I came home, it looked like this:







So I was upset - very upset, in fact - and I start pounding on my landlord's door. Only he is not at home, and he isn't answering his mobile phone either. GAH! Eventually, my flatmate gets through to him, and the landlord comes home to find that his part of the house has been broken into as well (we also found out that one of my flatmate's room was also broken into).

So the police were called, and they came by, asked questions, and filed a police report. Not too much hope there, but they did tell us that two houses on our block were broken into directly before ours. And that laptops and jewelry were stolen from the first house, so the police think that the people who do it had their hands full and couldn't steal ours. So we were pretty lucky overall. =\

What an awful feeling to have someone go through all your stuff =(
