Every time I caught, a struggle on its own, my missing stuff would then just flash in my dreams and then I would wake up in a sweat and pray the whole robbery was just a bad dream. It did not help that the broken window was not yet repaired either. The next day, I went to buy new pillow cases.

After beating myself up for not burying my valuables in the yard every morning, my thoughts now turned to detective work. I have seen every episode of NYPD Blue, The Shield, and The Wire, and I am certain that, had I not been in school, I would have made an excellent detective.
