This post is going to be an angry post. This may not have
my positive tilt towards things. Consider yourself forewarned. I have accepted
things with grace since the fire. I have thanked the Lord, the firefighters,
the Red Cross and hopefully everyone that has helped us in any little way. But
this post I am going to address a different aspect.
This is to the pond scum out there. The jackasses that take
advantage of a person when they are down. The creeps that have repeatedly
broken into our burned out home and taken things. Yes, they are just things and
they can all be replaced but the feeling of invasion is huge. It is at the
point that no one feels safe about moving in. We are going to put in an alarm
system while they are building the house.
They have been in so many times it hurts. Whenever anyone
has gone to the house they notice something that is different. When does this
stop? The house is a hazard. It is unhealthy it has been since the fire but now
mold is growing from the moisture. Plus the fire damaged the upstairs bathroom
so badly that black water is also in the house. I know I do not want anyone
back in there.
When Scotty and Loren went back in a week ago it was to
the point then that we decided that they would not go back in again until the rebuild
begins. They found on the landing near where the front door should be all of
Scotty’s tools packed into suitcases and bags. They were setting them up for
their return trip. Kind of like their own layaway plans. These tools were
deemed as a danger, that the heat made them unsafe. I called the insurance
adjuster to ask her what to do. She said just leave it. We did.
We also found two hubcaps, the radio, and the side mirror
from my 1965 Mustang hidden outside under the neighbor’s hedge. Scotty picked
them up and threw them over the fence around the yard. We realize they will
probably come back and get them, but we are not going to make it any easier for
them. I hope they all never get rid of that awful smell of smoke. Not like me I
know but frustration is a powerful drug. Peace out.
