Yeah, look, it’s not my favourite thing. I’d much rather not be doing this today. Even so, this one bothers me less than many of the previous incidents because comparatively, it’s simple to fix.
Only one thing seems to have been taken.
Nothing else was damaged.
Nobody was threatened or hurt. I wasn’t even present.
I have the means to replace all my cards - I did a passport application all of two weeks ago, so I’ve even got the photos for new ID already on hand! - and nothing immediately pressing that I need the cards for beyond daily convenience.
I’ve got a locksmith coming to check over my door, and I won’t have to pay for it because my landlord will.
It’s a time consuming inconvenience, but I’ve definitely had a lot worse.
