By then, my then boyfriend, now husband, and I, congratulations. And I were out of town visiting my family and we left our precious cat children, Ari and Binks. Oh, I like that. Ari and Binks back at our apartment in Arlington, Vermont. Virginia. Virginia. Virginia. Sorry, I said Vermont.

Spoiler alert, no cats were harmed in the making of this listener tale. Thank you. We hired a cat sitter to come visit slash feed them once a day. We were supposed to come back home on a Friday, but made a fateful last-minute decision to stay an extra day and come home on Saturday instead.

At the time, I regretted this decision, but now am grateful for what we did, as it was the last time I saw my mom before she passed away unexpectedly from an undiagnosed heart condition. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Molly. That sucks. Yeah. We returned home on Saturday night, and my boyfriend commented that he thought the door was already unlocked when he stuck the key in.

That's the scariest thing I've ever heard. I'd say, well, you go check the apartment. I have to go somewhere. It's been real. Bye. We brush this off because the lock was kind of janky, and he was probably mistaken. We drop our suitcases, and I give my kitty some reunion snuggles. My boyfriend comes rushing out of the bedroom and asks me if I'd moved a small box out of his desk drawer. I had not.

And this is where the red flags started going up. We searched the apartment some more and noticed that a passport, checkbook, and other items were missing as well. That's really scary. To think that somebody has your passport, like that's horrifying. That'd be terrifying. The small box that my boyfriend was panicking over contained the diamond for my future engagement ring. I know.

Oh, he had not given it to me yet, and this is how I learned that he was going to propose. Imagine learning like that. That's so sad. I know. I plugged our cheap security camera into my laptop and started reviewing the footage. Video only, there was no audio. My heart dropped when I got to the footage from Friday night slash Saturday morning around 2 a.m.

I can see Ari and Binks excitedly trotting up to the door as it began to open, thinking that mom and dad were finally home. No! I see their ears go back and their tails drop as they realize it's not us, and they turn around and sprint to find a hiding place. I see two unfamiliar dickhead men come through the door. Unfortunately, I can't see their faces because the camera was pointed to the floor.

It was positioned that way because we bought it to keep an eye on the cats, never expecting that it would capture a robbery. I break out into tears and call my mom while my boyfriend calls the police. Two young women police officers show up shortly after, and I'm grateful to them to this day for how comforting and kind they were as they took our statements and dusted for fingerprints.

Side note, they used a black powder to dust for fingerprints, and Binx was very interested in what they were doing. I love that. He stepped in a pile of powder and left little black footprints all over the place. It was adorable. And to this day, he is known as Detective Binks. DT. Binks. On the case. Binks is on the case. Over the next few days, we barely slept. Honestly.
