Containerhouse Vandalized

I arrived Sunday morning to unfortunately find that my containerhouse had been broken into and vandalized. 15 bullet holes were on the south side of the container and items had been stolen including some important papers. I contacted the sheriff's office immediately. They came out shortly, inspected the premises and said I may pick up a report tomorrow (Monday). I went to the the sheriff's office this morning and a lot of important information was missing, such as some stolen items. None of the evidence found at the site was included in the report. When I pointed this out, I felt like I was being dismissed. The deputy finally agreed to add an addemdum to the report. I'm still in shock, and the response that I am getting from the sheriff's office is very discouraging. I will contact the appropriate finacial institutions to make sure no one is using my identity to defaud me. I was afraid and did not stay in the container last night. Not sure what to do next..need to pause in order to make some rational decisions.

Carolyn -
It was fascinating and exciting to hear about your container house project earlier this summer. Then Nancy R. told me about this miserable event. So sorry! You'll obviously have some complex decisions to make. Do let us know what's next when you decide. Meanwhile, good luck, good thoughts, and be careful.

Just read about your unfortunate situation! We went down that route twice and know exactly what you are saying about the authorities indifference.
So sorry for you after all the work you have gone thru getting this far. But you will prevail!

Carolyn,

I've known about this for some time and finally thought I just need to look at your posting and add a comment.
You know how disgusted I am that someone would do this senseless act. And I know how hard you've worked on this and the enthusiam you have had for this project.
God be with you as you regroup and try to figure out where to go with this.
Wishing you all the best.
