Oh no! I'm really sorry that happened; even if you could have lost a lot more, it feels terrible to have your space (and your sense of safety) violated that way. As a chick I know all about that, though (knock on wood) I have never been robbed. In fact, contractors have tried to break into my house when I lock my brother-in-law out, and my locks are too good. Which makes me feel a lot better about living alone.
Ooh, tangent. Sorry. I never remember dreams because I am always sleep-deprived, but my sister has prophetic dreams all the time, so I don't knock them. They are often our subconscious' efforts to keep us safe, so they're worth listening to.
This happened once before, back in my teens; still feels just as crappy. It's going to take me weeks to get back to a "normal" state of mind. I'd have great locks too, but since I'm in an apartment, they aren't under my control so I can't. I'd also love to have bars on my basement windows... but the owner will never go for that: "It looks ugly and it's not necessary, we're in a safe neighbourhood on a busy street," said from his 3rd floor apartment. *sigh*
Yeah, the "prophetic" dreams are sort of disturbing. Right after I wake up, I have this feeling like: "This is important, remember it." And 2 seconds later, I can't help telling myself that I'm being silly; but I'm never 100% convinced.
I do have insurance. I just hope they'll pay the 3k that the computers and things that were in the bags were worth. I'm not holding my breath. I'm guessing they'll protest and end up coughing up maybe half. (Even if I have invoices for most of it; sometimes it pays to be a pack rat.)
