It seems pretty clear that the cops probably aren’t going to be coming out, so I did a walk through of my spare room to try and find anything else that was missing. To be honest, it’s a bit tricky to figure out what’s missing, because I had a lot of things for parts or that I was planning on fixing up eventually. Or stuff that I got just for a project and hadn’t gotten around to using yet. So I don’t actually know every single thing that was in here. That room is basically my version of a garage. He also didn’t take the obvious stuff, like my tv or computer monitor, so there’s nothing my eye is immediately drawn to because of an absence.
The only 2 things I noticed missing now are a drill set and a Meccano set. But I did also notice another old phone is completely fucked. Like bent in half, with the screen completely detached. The screen is in 4 pieces snapped across my room. I also noticed that from my main room, my 3DS and my only other old phone are both missing. That solidifies in my mind he definitely did get in here, which I haven’t been 100% on because:
false memories (tangent)
Most of the things missing from my main room are all things that I remember thinking about bringing with me while I was away. But it was really fucking with my mind, because I distinctly remember thinking about taking say, my aroma diffuser. I didn’t remember taking it (or not taking it). I know it’s weird to take an aroma diffuser to a hotel, but I’d just bought some nice smelly things for it (which I now realise are also missing) a few days earlier. Seriously, that was all fucking with my mind and making me feel like I have dementia. But this certainly solidifies that I am NOT crazy and I did NOT take these things with me, because the old phone and 3DS were both under a stack of paperwork in my drawer. I am certain that the thought of bringing them did not even cross my mind.
Also I couldn’t remember if I brought my hard drive with me or not. I remember I either brought my hard drive cable or hard drive with me, because on the first day of the steam game sales, I didn’t have enough space to install the games I brought, and I remember thinking it was a shame because I had half of what I needed. I guess my stupid little ranty comments are useful though, because I said I forgot to bring my hard drive in this comment. That also solidifies in my mind that my hard drive was stolen.
Yeah. I’m going to create a spreadsheet and log everything in both my rooms along with serial numbers and photos. The serial numbers and photos probably only help if the cops decide to go searching, but knowing what exactly I have will prove useful. Probably save me for double buying things too
Even though I never had one growing up, I still felt nostalgic for them. I received it for my 16th bday and was over the moon. Spent my pocket money on an SD card a few days later and spent a day getting the homebrew stuff happening. Nintendo shut down their e-shop like 2 weeks after I got it too. Fun times.
Also I suck at Mario kart, and I need to not suck before I stop playing it :(

time to make lists and to keep a journal

The 3DS is a huge loss. Did you have it homebrewed so you could run a bunch of other stuff on it?
Yep :|
