Nice essay. Though my favorite excerpt may be the paranthetical
Note: I do not have children of my own and do not intend to have any, so it is only natural that I experiment on children from other families.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Reading this after shrift's last post in Boxed Set is making me laugh and laugh.

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

They stole a craptastic TV, a 10 year old CD player, a cheap clock, a pillow case, and few other odds of ends of little value.
When my parents' house was burgled (we also lost lots of jewellery of sentimental value, plus a couple of years' worth of my diaries - the police assumed they were hoping I'd noted my PINs in them), they also took a pillow case of one of the beds. It's for putting the rest of the stuff in.
Best of luck with everything, Betsy.

I almost pity the burglars who try to get anything good out of my house. If the precarious piles of junk don't get them, they'll knock something over, attracting the attention of the cats and people with swords.
Though most likely my house will kill them and we'll come out to a burglar skewered by a stray armor piece and a thousand tiny wargaming figures with pointy bits.

Sorry to hear about that, Betsy.

When my car got broken into, they stole my owners manual. That one just had me scratching my head.

I had someone steal one of my manuscripts once. Were they looking for porn?

That happened to me once. They broke the window on my convertible (rather than just unzip the back window) and stole my owner's manual. I figured they couldn't find anything actually worth taking, and didn't want to leave empty-handed.
It was later that my battery was stolen when my car was parked in a supposedly secure lot. Twice.
