Damn all theives, everywhere

Ya, I know, I have a huge attitude about thieves, and especially people working jobs where their employer expect them to be trusted and so do customers.  Right now my big issue is with the delivery service that delivered my new kitchen cabinets to my home.  2 youngish men, both white, according to my son who was home to accept that delivery last week, Thursday.
One was outside most of the time, and when in my home, only helping move larger cardboard boxes into the designated location area, corner of the kitchen where those cabinets end up installed.  The other man, the 1 who was in the kitchen most of the time, the man with the metal clipboard with storage area, ya I have 1 of those that is plastic.  He is probably the person who stole my iPod Touch, 5th generation, special edition red, engraved on the back, wearing a Journey's End skin from DecalGril, and a shock protective hot pink cover.  The iPod, which was on the small shelf by my charging station was certainly home, where it lives, in my kitchen when I left for work Thursday morning.
I have that 'find my missing device' app activated, and phone calls were made to Lowes, to KraftMade cabinets and a call back to me from the delivery company and a long conversation twice now with a very polite and nice sounding woman.  This does not return my missing and much missed device, this does not keep that man from stealing from others but I hope hie get caught, and I hope he looses his job, that his life gets miserable and that he learns that stealing from homes of people or businesses he is delivering to is a very bad choice.
But I know I can replace the device, and I have been busy changing a lot of passwords, to all those apps that are in my passcoded, locked device that I hope he got very little $ from selling or will never be able to make usable.
I plan to keep it logged on my Apple account, and I do not plan to set things to erase the data on that device, so, maybe lifting that bright pink Apple device will not work out so well in his life.  I want his life to become very miserable.
And I have the same attitude about the 2 people at our plant who were terminated recently for stealing food from our cafeteria, we earn enough to pay for that food, and the much poorly paid employees of our cafeteria contractor get reamed over those food losses.  That stuff is all figured out and someone in their management knows how short the sales are, their employees get harassed by their management and held at fault for something they really cannot prevent.  So, no, I don't feel bad for that woman who has worked the plant as long or longer than I have or the man that was also caught.  They knew they were stealing and they knew if caught, and proven the company policy is termination.
So, now that I have vented, and whined, I will continue to live my good life, hope the cabinet installer is here tomorrow and makes good progress, the counter company will be here next Friday and I will be off work on a paid vacation day to be here, they are measuring and I have decisions to make on the counters.
Once that has a bill, I can get with my bank and all the kitchen costs end up rolled into a new mortgage, and my life settles back into a quiet winter routine with work, old house projects and my dolls, sewing, knitting and reading books.
And I will daily check for a location on my missing Touch and daily ill wish that man who stole it from my home.
Jake is right when he says my weapon of choice is a heavy battleax.

Late night thoughts

I should have tucked in and been asleep hours ago but am enjoying my quiet attic space and a book instead.
the weather is getting colder, I think fall will be short and winter long and hard this year but the kitchen should be warmer and I am going to plastic the outside of the front door.  And hope to deal with the draft problem, that huge gap between the door edge and the frame.  It will take some work and I will whine and complain while I do the job but it will get done.
And  I should get most of the ceiling trim done in the kitchen, the new top on the corner shelf done so that big tv I won this past spring will have a place to go.
every day  i can count my many blessings and realize how happy i am and how goof my life is.  So, no matter the problems with the old house, I will find a road that works.
