I dropped out of this forum a couple of years ago and from BPs in general. Mainly I have health issues regarding the rodents but I don't regret leaving- this theft brought me in here to find out what the updates were, if any. I can imagine who spoke to you about competition while laughing. I saw the list of names and the missing were obvious. I don't know Jeff and I'd never heard of him prior to reading the SnakeKeeper's page but I can imagine the sense of violation during what was already a sad time for him and his family. For me this effort is about community. In the midst of the turmoil, the name-calling, the skepticism, and the laughter, a sense of community and compassion emerges. It doesn't include everyone. But those people who are not laughing and not talking about competition, those people who show support in whatever way they can, they keep us together when things try to tear us apart. They are the ones who are there in all times, not just the times you have cash in hand. These thefts, they happen to all of us when they happen to one of us. Ad it is always the minority who carries the burdens- if any silver lining can be taken from this violation- I think it is good to have these glimpses of who is pulling the load and who is laughing by the wayside. It sounds so much like a moral is formulating at the end of this story....
