Oh Betsy, that sucks. Here's hoping for instant-karma for the bad guys and a chance you'll get your stuff back.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
HMOG, Betsy. How scary and horrible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's too good a term to let the guys keep it to themselves.
The man can't keep us down!
Betsy -- I hope the law does its job here, and gets everything back. How terrible.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Betsy, I'm so glad you're all safe.
And I'm sorry about the jewelry. That's heartbreaking.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So sorry about the jewelry, Betsy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Betsy, so sorry about the breakin--I hope you can recover the jewelry/knives and feel safe soon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry, Betsy. I've been robbed a few times, and it's the weirdest feeling, all creepy and anger-inducing.
You should make a list of everything that's missing, and fax that to every pawn shop and jewelry store that buys....
I had 90 CDs stolen once - I actually got 85 of them back when a suspicious record store employee checked my list of stolen CDs....

Oh, that's awful, Betsy. I hope you get back what was taken. So sorry.

When I was in college I was doing scene work in class and we had changed into costumes ina hallway. When I went back afterwards (literally ten minutes later) my green cowboy boots were gone. They'd been a big deal Christmas present. They were also the only shoes I had with me and campus safety had to drive me home (this was NYC -- there was no barefoot option). It was humiliating and for, easily, the next eight months I looked at people's feet compulsively to see if they had my boots. What could I have POSSIBLY done if I'd seen them? Still, I looked. Creepy and anger-inducing sums it up perfectly.
Good luck with the pawn shop route -- it's good that there is SOMETHING you can do.
