That's unfortunate. Having something stolen from you is a violation on a number of levels, but at least you've the consolation of knowing it will be replaced. Your euphemism for 'thieves' might be considered more kindness than the culprits deserve. That said, its hard to ignore the crushing amount of societal insecurities and inequities running amok all with the backdrop of a STILL raging pandemic. While the H.E.R.O.E.S. Act doled out trillions in stimulus, the overwhelming majority of it was predictably funneled to corporations and the wealthiest in our society, leaving millions of rank and file Americans without succor.

I am incredibly thankful to still be working (and from home to boot) with the ability to continue to "waste" money on toys that I truthfully have more of than I could ever need...even want, maybe. I'm in no way validating nor minimizing your property being taken, please don't misunderstand - you know I respect you a lot and what happened sucks ass. However, with roughly 51 million unemployed, food insecurity and lines stretching miles (in some places), and the eviction hammer/anvil about to drop for millions...we are very likely going to see much worse in the near future.

It's going to be a long cold Winter in America. Hopefully, we can dig deep and find some compassion and understanding for each other. Even for individuals for whom we struggle to know or understand their motivations.

There are a lot of people suffering right now. This pandemic has been rough on so many levels. There are a lot of groups and individuals (adults, teens and kids) trying to help those going through tough times. It does suck to have to have packages stolen. I sincerely doubt it is by someone needing help. It is someone bored or doing it for fun. If you know about organizations in your area offering help share it within your neighborhood. Last week, our city distributed bags with Hand sanitizer, masks and information in English and Spanish for those that needed help - food, medicine or Covid-19 testing. It was a nice gesture and I hope a lot of people in our community benefitted from this bag. I hope other communities and cities can provide a bag with helpful information and items to those that need it. We have to be humans helping each other, supporting each other, caring for each other.
