should i be worried?

someone burglarized my apartment. i dont know when or how, but we were definitely robbed. i would like to say that they "broke into my apartment" but the strange thing of it all is that everything was locked. nothing was out of place. it looked as though no one had been there. this doesnt make sense to me. what makes even less sense is that they didnt take anything that was really worth a lot of money, which is probably why i didnt notice that anything was missing until yesterday.... although, i am pretty sure that it all happened on friday, sometime between when i went to my parents to do laundry and when i got home on friday night. they took my "work book bag" (this may seem insignificant, but it is the sadist part of the whole story), my tub of change, and about 100 and some odd dollars in cash from sarah's room. that was all... not the tv, ps2, vcr, stereo, espresso machine, or even the $4000 keyboard. (all this would have been valued as up to about $5500) instead they took about 50 bucks worth of change, some cash, and a $100 book bag that had a $50 discman, about $180 worth of cd's, and a nalgene bottle. (a value of only $488) see how it just doesnt make any sense.

i guess that we should consider ourselves pretty lucky, right, it could have been much worse. but what do i do now? should i be worried, because amazingly, i am not at all. i am sort of feeling like it was probably someone that we know, and even if it wasnt, i guess that they needed the stuff more than i did. something that makes me really sad is the Jimmy Eat World Bleed American cd. it was in my book bag. if you are familiar with J.E.W. you know that this cd was released on sept. 1, 2001, than after 9/11 it was pulled from the shelves because the title was "offensive/questionable." well, jimmy eat world used to be my favorite band (and still is one of my favorites), so i bought the cd the day it was released, on sept. 1st as the originally titled "Bleed American." since it was pulled and rereleased as simply "Jimmy Eat World," the original is a sort of collectors item and worth quite a bit of money, therefore totally not replaceable. so yes, i am sad, very sad. in fact, i may never fully recover. if any of you out there have a copy of bleed american that you want to give to me, it might be a step in the right direction towards recovery. if you want to donate to help replace any of the rest of these items, please, feel free.
