First experience

'i-wa' and 'i-wa-ma-tsu' in the yard

My house was broken a few days ago and I had my handbag and a pouch with some bankbooks　stolen.
I don't know when the robber broke to my house but perhaps it was early morning.

It was not until yesterday that I foung my handbag was missing.
I searched a house for hours but I couldn't find it.
After that, I knew some bankbooks in a drawer were also missing.

I became white with shock at knowing I had had them stolen.

I went to the post office to examine the remainders.
Luckily they were all right!!

Soon after that, I reported the police .
In the evening,　some policemen drove a patrol car to my house and inspected of the scene.

I felt as if I had been having a dream then, because I couldn't believe the incident and hadn't had such an experience.

Luckily the amount of damage was little but I lost some goods in my handbag, such as driving licence, keys, some gift certificates and so on.

Till then, I thought every incident like that had nothing to do with me, but now I know they are not other people's affairs.

They are next to us.
