So yesterday Yuko and I had a bad night. I went to the Fall Out Boy concert with my friends Brett and Heather (amazing concert, highly recommend seeing them if you can) and had a good time. Coming home, got a phone call from Yuko.
She had just gotten home, and the door was not locked and a few of the rooms were awry (that means out of place Adam!). She got a little panicked and left the apartment to call her mom and the police.
Yes, somebody broke into our apartments. I got there 10 minutes after the police did. I finally saw some Japanese policeman doing some policing. They did the whole fingerprints, pictures, looking for clues outside with flashlights, etc. (They even took me and Yuko's prints to compare against ones they found!) Kind of like CSI, but not really all that cool cause it was our stuff they were investigating. The jackasses that robbed us, went through our drawers and stuff in our bedroom, opening drawers and throwing stuff on the floor. They did not trash the place, but the violation of knowing they were in our house is more than enough for this cat!
Took a bunch of cash (our savings for our flight home this summer), Yuko's computer (all our pics and files....fu*#ing idiots!!), our cordless phone (that is useless without the base phone).
The saddest and most frustrating part...they took the engagement necklace i had given Yuko, the pearls she wore at our wedding, and the 1 year anniversary diamond necklace I bought for Yuko in December. (Adam, can you help me find another one??)
The money, computer, phone, I can live without. But what a kick in the balls to lose the necklaces. Can not be replaced!!!
Only positive thing I have from this is that Yuko was not at home when this happened. I don't even want to think about that scenario.
So if you have a chance, say a little prayer for us that Yuko stays calm and doesn't get paranoid, that it never happens again to us or anyone else (unrealistic I know, but humor me please), and that the people who robbed us see the error of their ways and stop being jerks OR have their hands chopped off in a freak train accident so they can never steal again (hopefully you choose the latter, because this is how I feel right now!!)

Dear Yuko and Matt, yes it was a very crummy thing to happen. just think of all the years you have been there and expcially all the time Yuko has lived there with nothing like this happen before. It is a most unfortunate event but remember getting your back pack returned with nothing missing the few days before. what goes around come around, and the thieves will get there just desserts, but I hope not as violent a punishment you wished on them, and I know it is just a momentary wish of harm to them as you have a much getler nature thatn yet. Prayers are double for both of you for my part. love mother
correction: meant to say, amtthew has a much gentler nature than that.
Dear Turners--I'm so sorry for your horrible, terrible, nausea- and anxiety-producing experience. And that was just the Fall Out Boy concert. But seriously, that sucks--hopefully those fellas get the rotovirus squirts for eternity. Not just Fall Out Boy, but the thieves, too. You have life and you have each other, that's what's most important. They took the sentimental stuff, but left the Creed albums...figures.
