@Tayor Tipton:  Sorry for your experience - I'm sure it was terrifying.  ADN comments are essentially the cesspool of humanity.  Everyone has an opinion about how the other guy is wrong (blame the victim, blame the reporter for not including information that wasn't available, blame the mayor, blame the president, etc.). 

I've often thought that, if I were involved in a story, I'd avoid Comments like the plague.  That said, I loved your comment.  Beware, though. someone is likely to find a way to belittle you for it.  Hang in there, and I hope you get your things back and that you don't have to go through this again.
