Omg, my heart literally sank when I read the part about the journal for his son got stolen as well. Almost everything else is replaceable, but something that personal and painstakingly maintained is hard to replace.
Hopefully he has his contact information in the journal just in case and he gets it back.
His contact information is in the suitcase - as are his house key. He has already ordered someone to change the locks...
Holy......it just gets worse. Hopefully his car-keys aren't attached to his house keys like mine.
This could escalate so quickly. Hopefully he has family going to stay over too just in case. Not ideal having the partner and kids alone should anyone try to break in. Unless his son is some 1.9m tall rugby player or something....
