I just found out the my work friend was robbed.

Not just any sort of robbed but robbed by the sort of people that have no soul and now conscience. This is not as simple as a first world problem.

The Scenario:

His wife came home from work yesterday, in Newtown, and found that everything, except for their bed and their young child’s cot had been stolen. A week out from christmas some fine citizen has broken into his house, stolen his clothes, his electronics, and to make matters worse they have stolen all the digital and print copies of all their pictures and all their videos. To put that in perspective they have stolen all photo and video evidence of their first young childs life from birth to date and their young family’s earliest years together.
Clothes are replaceable. Televisions are replaceable. Jewellery is replaceable.

But very cherished memories of your child’s first steps, or there first bowl of custard thrown across the room is not.

Not to mention this is a week out from christmas. This time of year should not be any different from any other when it comes to STEALING ANOTHER PERSONS ENITRE FUCKING HOUSE AND LIFE but it makes it that little bit more heart breaking.

The retort:

I cannot even begin to imagine how he and is poor family must feel. Although they have extended family in Sydney to help them deal with the anguish of such a terrible situation it still must be devastating.  Luck is however, no one was hurt, no one was in harms way when these drone bees of society broke in and tore through this lovely young families life.

Another thought to jump to is so much for neighbour hood watch, but in saying that, the neighbours of this affluent suburb were probably at work too, making an honest living, not driving around and stealing other peoples entire houses.

I just hope and pray that justice finds the people that did this.

I know that from working with my colleague that he and his family will get through this, he is strong, motivated and sensitive and I am sure his family are too.

No it is not a Hatian earthquake, and no it is not Fukushima Daichi reaching metldown, but it just high lights all the little incidences where human kind faulters, that add to the larger poisons and tribulations caused by a lack of respect for fellow humans, and the good work they do.

My Colleague is a Nurse, and spends his whole day ensuring the best quality, safest, and most appropriate health care is delivered to people from all walks of life, without question one of the hardest working people I know.

People like him and his family, should not be targets for scum of the earth, driving around fleecing people of every single one of their earthly possessions aside from the shirt on their back, that they have work extremely hard for.

With all that in mind please spare a though for my work colleague, I am sure there have been many other victims of these extremely low life people. I just hope someone catches them*

*by catch them I think we all know what I mean
