Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Gay Penguin Dads kids' book. Aww!

Congrats, Sheryl! Welcome to the world, Hayden.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Awww!!

My problem with my stuff is that it's not worth a lot if you're considering value with depreciation, but the replacement cost would be high.

You can get insurance that insures replacement cost instead of current value. That's how ours works.

If I only had a brain...

Insurance claim adjuster was quite pleasant. He warned me that there's a limit of either $1500 or $2000 for jewelry you didn't itemize separately, which of course we didn't. Even with the deductible, that will come fairly close to covering replacement value, if not sentimental value.

Keep checking the pawn shops, Betsy. A pleasant claim adjuster is a very good thing - I've had surly ones that made me feel like I was trying to scam them (I wasn't).

That's nice, anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, I just remembered. In Minneapolis if a pawn store (or similar) buys a musical instrument (maybe other stuff too) they have to hang on to it for a while (a month or two?) before they can sell it, and they must also check it against police reports of stolen stuff before they can sell it.

So you might wanna check the laws in your state, and maybe file a police report if you haven't.

I filed a police report the first day; they even managed to pull fingerprints off the window.

The policeman I talked to said that all the pawnshops send them a list of what they've gotten in, and he'll be checking that list against the list I gave him of missing items.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's kinda cool. Go CSI!

I wouldn't mind getting robbed so much if Warrick were to stop by. But I'd get Ecklie.
