My letter to a thief

[dwkwootton]

I'm glad that you and yours can shrug your shoulders at every bad thing that happens to you, but most of us are not that advanced! The OP is just venting! She sounds mad, not cold blooded. If you don't get that, why are you arguing about it?

Actually, most of us are advanced enough not to post a wish for actual physical harm to come to someone or someone close to them on a public forum. That was over the top.

And now the sentiment seems to be that she and some others are miffed because everyone should know she said it but she didn't mean it she was just venting and whatsamatta with everyone. Sheesssh.

I understand no computer what I don't understand is the vengence 7 days later.

Your OP is a step in the "wrong direction"
__________________

No, actually my OP was a step in the right direction. I chose not to vent this way in front of my son. My husband and I explained to him that accidents happen - he made a mistake by leaving the camera on the window. When we explained why no one had turned it into lost and found we told him that there were people out there who take things that do not belong to them, even when they know it's wrong.

I'm sorry if you don't understand my responding 7 days later, but I never asked you or anyone else to.....didn't mean to "disturb" you.

If you'd read through post #16 you would have figured that out by yourself.

I would prescribe several viewings of "My Name Is Earl" for important lessons in karma.

That's just what I was thinking!

It's interesting to that some people, in this thread and in others, say things like "I can't believe this would happen at a family place" or "I was sure it would be safe at Disneyworld!" Lots of bad, dishonest people have families, and lots of bad, dishonest people like to go to Disneyworld. Why does it surprise anyone to find actual human beings there?

am so sorry to hear that. I know the feeling but on a bigger scale. My CC # was stolen while at WDW this last trip and the "scum" charged over $6000 in Niagra Falls Canada the very next week.

That's not a bigger scale at all. A stolen CC# is an inconvenience to be sure, but it's not an irreplaceable loss like the OP's photos.

This is starting to get comical. Now she's angry (with her caps and bolds and underlines and rantings) with the people who thought she got too angry. Hmmmm ~ anger management classes anyone?

do you all see why i try to only post (questions or answers) about factual info?!?!?! (sometimes i get weak and post about opinion threads - and open myself up to the rath of those who feel differenly than me - but i try to resist the tempation as much as possible! )

i feel for you OP - not just becuse of your lost camera, the temporary damper it put on your trip, the disapointment your son felt, and the feelings that caused in you....but also for the ration of crap that you took here from those who think they would have reacted differently than you.

in case it makes you feel better, i have had some "conversations with someone who did me wrong" while driving alone in the car. just to vent. got the steam off and didn't hurt anyone because they wern't actually there to hear me bashing them. i think it's healthy, so did my therapist. i felt better afterwards and was able to let it go and move on. go for it and give your son a hug. he made an honest mistake that he should not feel bad for and someone else (or that person's parent, if it was a kid that picked it up) was an opertunistic jerk.

- lori

Lets just all agree to disagree and move on!!

You're right about that! It is getting comical. Hopefully, there will be a mod online soon who can lock this thread as I requested earlier.

Ranting?? Darlin' you haven't seen ranting. I'm not angry by any stretch. I do find the judgemental, holier-than-thou attitudes to be a bit frustrating, but if I was really angry with a poster I would PM them rather than take it out here on the thread.

My dd's pretty sick this morning....I'd trade any of my belongings (including a camera FULL of pics) if she could just get over this and be well!!

So you would have no problem with say a 10-12 year old kid getting online (I understand there are some that age who visit here) and reading your initial posts and being able to discern that you were only "ranting" (whatever that means) and didn't mean it ?

I'm sorry that your camera was lost.

This is not a helpful trip planning thread and I'm going to close it now.
