Update on the Camera

Well yesterday I posted here about our camera missing. We did call our realtor and she said she would call the realtor that showed it. We got a call back from her within a few minutes. The other realtor said the wife of the couple that came through was acting very strange and she kept an eye on her. The realtor knew some people have resorted to stealing small items like Ipods, cameras, jewelry, Rx's, etc. She acted very strangely in our business office upstairs. At one point the realtor was trying to steer the couple down the hall to the bedrooms but the wife hesitated near my desk. She saw the wife over by my bookshelf for a really long time and the realtor went over there. We all think she had picked up my camera and then got caught by the realtor, so she had dropped it in a bag of books I had! I ran upstairs and looked around and sure enough I found my camera in the bag of books!! I cannot believe that people have stooped so low as to pretend to be interested in buying someone's home and then take their possessions! I am really glad I have it back. A lesson for John and I and the rest of the house selling population. I will be putting everything away and I will think twice before leaving my home while it's being shown. I also worry about Open Houses even more. What if 2 or more "prospective" buyers come to the Open House, the Realtor cannot possibly watch everyone all the time in different parts of the house. It is something to think about for sure. I don't want anymore open houses anyway, the never seem to attract buyers just nosey neighbors and people wanting decorating ideas. I'm off to church in a bit. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
