NBR: So mad!

I cannot stand the filth of some people.

My parents house got robbed today. They took her 2ct diamond wedding ring, cameras, laptops, money...everything.

My heart is so broken for them. They lost so much.
But they took something that means so much to me. Every picture I had on my old cell phone was saved on my moms computer. Every pregnancy photo, every picture from our girls in the hospital, every video. EVERYTHING. All I have now are the current pics of them on my cell phone (4 months and up) and the few things I had posted to Facebook. Everything else is a blissful memory.
I just want to cry.
And I didn't lose even a portion of what they did.

My mom called and told me and I just don't know how she stayed so positive. All she said was that they could take anything material they want but she's just happy they had half a heart to leave her dogs behind.

The nerve of some people. I wonder if they even realize that taking just ONE thing lead to a chain of other things they didn't even realize they took.

Ugh.

    Oh no! That's terrible. Very sorry that your family is going through that. I would be so sad too if I lost photos and videos... Those things are more valuable to me than anything else material!

  • I am very sorry that happened to your family. I have no other words that can possibly make you feel better because I would be livid myself if I had lost my pictures. =( -Internet hugs- 

    Did you by chance have your phone hooked up to Google+?

  • Oh no! I'm so sorry for your family. I am even more devastated for you! Thank goodness you have a few on Facebook that you can keep. You have given me a weekend project to back up all my photos.

  • ClandestineX- no :(
    I have an iPhone and they were supposed to be backed up on my iCloud but didn't. For some reason my iCloud was all messed up and wouldn't save anything. So when I let a friend borrow my old phone, JUST INCASE, anything of mine were to get deleted, I transferred them all to her computer and her external hard drive. Well, my stuff on the old phone DID get erased when she had all her stuff put on the phone and not only did the theif take the computer BUT the external as well.

    That beyond sucks! :((
    I know this might not help but did you ever upload to shutterfly or snapfish? They would still have them.

  • You mentioned they took a camera- it's a long shot, but have you ever heard of this site:
    https://www.stolencamerafinder.com/
    If you upload a pic taken from the same camera, it searches the web for other photos taken with the same one. I'm so sorry for your loss. Did you put a request out to friends for any photos they might have taken? Maybe a big sign on your parents lawn asking for the return of the hard drive- again, long shot, but stranger things have happened.

    This is for the future or anyone interested in backing up their pictures instantly on their phone. I have all mine backed up on Google+.. luckily because my first phone broke and the SD card was corrupted.

  • I am so sorry!!! Praying that by the grace of God they catch the crooks, and the computer is returned. How awful, they'll get theirs. Hugs!
  • Oh Gosh,I'm so sorry Jordyn.  That is how it always works -- the stuff that cannot be replaced and is the most meaningful is the stuff that the thieves don't even care about. My friend once got her car broken into en route back to college after a semester at home (ie, her entire LIFE was in that car),and what was so hard for her is that the sentimental irreplaceable stuff was probably in the trash, while she could pretty easily go buy a new computer or whatever.  I hope they catch the burglar.

  • That is terrible. What an awful violation. Not to mention the loss of those precious photos and videos. Computers and cameras are surprisingly traceable these days...I hope the police can track down your computer and get it back to you. I'm so sorry this happened to your parents (and to you).

    Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.
  • Also, I"m sure you already did this, but file a police report and be sure to check local pawn shops... that stuff turns up there more often than not.

    We filed a report as well as called all the pawn shops within 50mi.
    I'm also checking Craigslist daily. It just really sucks :(

  • That is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry :-( Losing pictures of your babies makes me sick for you.
  • That sucks! I'm so sorry that happened to you and your family. My parents house got robbed when I was in middle school. They took my parents class rings and other irreplaceable jewelry. It really makes you feel sick to your stomach that someone would do that. I hope there is some way for you to get your pictures back.
