progress report

[llywela]

A detective just phoned to give me an update on the investigation into my burglary the other week. The update is basically that there hasn't been much progress. There was very little material evidence, which I already knew, but they did get good, consistent descriptions from several neighbours which they have matched to CCTV footage from the pub opposite. That's all very good and positive. The problem is that they can't locate the man, who goes by a nickname; the pub landlord doesn't know his real name. But the detective wanted me to know that they are still working on the case and said she'll ring again with another update in a week or two.

Well, that's something, I suppose. I got the impression when she visited me the day after the burglary that she was expecting to simply close the case in a week or two because of lack of evidence, so it's nice to know there has been at least some investigation and that said investigation is continuing still.

In other news, I've been having a bit of a binge on ebay's vintage fine jewellery section, from which I might have to ban myself again - but hopefully my insurance will come through soon, to justify the expenditure...*G*

I've been round them all a bunch of times, yes. And my cousin is the manager of the local Cash Generator store, so I was able to tell him the full story and give him a description of my stuff. He said he'd look out for it and ask around. But there's been no sign. If I could just get my aunt's necklace back, I'd be satisfied just with that. Her husband bought her that necklace when she miscarried their only child, who would have been the same age as me, which was why I was named after her - when she died, her husband gave me the necklace because he said it was the most special thing he could think of for me to have, because I was her namesake, the baby she'd never had. I've always treasured it for her sake and now it's gone. :(

I've had a binge on ebay, picking up bits and pieces that look pretty and/or interesting, in a bid to make myself feel less cross about my stuff that was stolen. But nothing I buy for myself can ever be as special as that necklace that I inherited, or all the other bits and pieces that I was given for birthdays and Christmases. I just hope they find the bastard in the end.

...I also hope my insurance comes through soon to pay for that ebay binge!
