To fill in some of the newer readers, My biological father, Bruce, passed away December 26, 2010. I had met him only one time in October. Since the internment in February, I have been waiting to receive his personal effects, which included a watch and some other miscellaneous items. I was working with a gentlemen by the name of Peter W. who was a deputy for the District Attorney's office. Well... I stopped getting communications from him and started to wonder what was going on but could not get any answers. To make a really long story shorter, Peter is being brought up on criminal charges for theft on people's estates that he was working on! They raided his home and the home of another deputy and found 100s of boxes of stolen goods. Some of the estates were worth millions of dollars. I was told this by the City's legal counsel who was very sincere and was honest with me about what happened. There are other items of Bruce's in their warehouse which I will have access to but the watch is considered evidence and it may take months for it to be located and distributed. What a bunch of hooie huh? All I want is something tangible of his to show he existed. I am his only offspring and only heir. Not that he had money or anything but it is pretty cut and dry really. Until next time...
That kind of theft if too common, sadly. I hope you get the watch soon...at least you know where it is now.
ReplyDeleteBTW, one thing that you have written a few times bothers me: "All I want is something tangible of his to show he existed" - Katie, YOU are that tangible thing. Because he existed, you are here. Big hugs to you.
Amen Shelley!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Shelley. YOU are the tangible thing. But I do understand wanting something else to hold in your hand.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the chips thing. I am like that with Twizzlers. I can't even buy them anymore.
Wow...that sucks...hope you get what you need soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Shelley, you are the tangible thing. :) I understand that you'd like the other things too of course - but I'm glad you're here :)
ReplyDeleteUgh, that is awful and so disgusting that some people would steal from the deceased and thier families. I understand that you want something you can touch and hold and that will remind you of your (bio) dad. Hope it gets resolved quickly.
ReplyDeleteYou have got to be kidding me?! I just don't understand these people. Hope you get your dad's items soon. What a bunch of jerks.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you spent some nice time with your mom!
UGH. That stinks when people take advantage of their position. I hope this gets resolved for you soon.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a sleezeball to take advantage of people when they are grieving!! I hope they lock him up for a long long time! And hopefully your father's watch is in there somewhere and it will be returned to you eventually.
