I have been
investing most of my waking hours in the library of the community college for
months. It offers free WIFI as well as a peaceful setting.
I need to go
to the bathroom sometimes. So what I have been doing is to take my laptop with
me and leave my backpack. I have done that dozens of times during the last 5
months. There is a sign on all the tables that says do not leave your valuables
sitting unattended.
When I
returned from the bathroom my backpack was gone. It was not in the Lost and
Found. I was told to talk with the campus police. They pulled up recorded video
of the door to the library. After searching for a while a man with an orange cap
and blue shirt was noticed entering the library and then exiting shortly after
that with a black pack. It had a bottle of red coke classic like was in the
side pocket of my backpack. His face was cast down and he immediately left the
campus.
The campus
police officer asked what was in it and I told him what I recalled. It was
mostly personal items like notes, toothbrush, vitamins, medicine for my sinus
and prostate. I had put in there an expired picture ID to the recreation center
in case it was ever lost. It has no commercial value. My driver’s license and
debit cards are in my wallet and were not taken.
My top
priority now is to buy another cable to recharge my laptop and one to recharge
my phone. Then I will write and inventory of all that was in the backpack. I
will plan how to replace the most important things.
This
happened about an hour ago. I am still in shock somewhat.
Pray for God
to guide my thoughts, words and deeds. May the Holy Spirit comfort me. May God
bring to my mind the suitable Bible verses.
I would like
for my property to be returned. If that happens then it would be a miracle from
God.
Shalom
John
