[nabs-l] serious question

[Judy Jones]

So sorry to hear you are going through this.

One time in college I remember my favorite ski coat got stolen. I had just 
arrived back and had to put my pack down to unlock the door. I unlocked, 
went in & stashed my cane. It can't have taken more than 30 seconds, but 
when I went back for my stuff, the coat was gone. I heard nothing, no 
footstepss, nada!

Sighted people get things stolen, too, & it's a matter of being extra aware 
of your surroundings and where you are leaving your stuff. Is this a 
roommate or someone coming to your personal area, or are these things being 
stolen from a public area? Are the same people around when these items were 
stolen? You will have to be alert to what is going on around your personal 
bubble wherever you are, but, unfortunately, it happens to everyone, not 
just you.
