3Day 4. Another break-in. This time smashing up the side door and the Pod. The new padlock is gone and the latch is wrecked.
The police came by to dust for finger prints. They burglars left some pretty clean foot prints (thanks to all the drywall dust and two clean steps), but they don’t do footprints for a crime like this. The officer says our house is gonna be bad-ass, man. And he said he would use our driveway to write reports at night. Ace is having temporary lights put in.
Day 5. I hired a guy to help. He asked if the cabinets came with instructions. Good one. He’ll be back tomorrow. I wrote down some notes for him, went home and took a shower.
I’m hoping day six is the last day.

That’s so crappy. Can you send the pod to the pod warehouse?

Another break in? Wow. That super sucks. I wish you’d had as good a kitchen install I did. Ours went pretty smoothly overall. Well, except for the A/C Thing (which I still haven’t documented for you.

I’ve heard this sort of thing is pretty common. My developer had to fence in and padlock all his construction projects. He told me that once he had both duplex units broken into and they took all the kitchen appliences from both. Also, they apparently love to steal wiring and pipes for the scrap metal resale value.
