Sucks that your stuff got stolen!! But those stormtroopers ought to get things cleared up in no time ... one hopes ...
In the meantime, I must admit to a wave of nostalgia for the good ole days when I was part of a security detail for local conventions ... I had the most luscious outfit* ... sigh.
*Actually, I still have it ... I'm just awaiting the day when I can get into it again >:P
Luckily the art stuff that was stolen is common as dirt (sketchpad, pencils, pens, erasers) and easily replaced with something new, for maybe $12 tops. What was IN the sketchbook can't be replaced for any price though. Something is trying to tell me I'm not meant to draw at conventions.
The tape recorder and tapes are a bit more complicated. The tape recorder isn't mine, it was borrowed (a long long time ago and its original owner has most likely forgotten, but still...) The tapes though - I was using the flip-side of a tape of phone calls between my support group leader and members of my family when I came out. I have it dumped to computer a couple of years ago, so that's not a worry, and most likely whoever stole the stuff doesn't care, but there is some really personal sensative information on there.
All told, it's the principle of the thing, you know?
