The locksmith came to my apartment at 6AM Saturday morning. The robbers did get in but, and I still can't believe this, they didn't take my computer or my guitar. All my random papers were strewn around the room which tells me they were only looking for money. Fortunately I left none behind. I paid 75$ for new locks and Swaton will reimburse me for that. Still, knowing they figured out the locks, I don't feel comfortable leaving my apartment for any length of time.
Today I returned to the nursery and the babies left me misty-eyed with their cards and hugs. I had a sit-down with the owner, an intimidating 8 ft tall Korean women, about the break-ins. She was apologetic and I told her I understand it's not her fault but the foreign teaching team decided she needs to move us soon. She told me "as soon as possible" which, in Korea, means nothing. We will stay on this and, as much as I dread moving, this is the only solution.
The worst part is that we will have to leave this neighborhood that I've become so comfortable with. We're certain the robberies have something to do with the angry men in the bottling company down the street. The timing of the break-ins tells us that they know exactly when we come and go. So, moving anywhere else in the vicinity will only give them a few more weeks to figure out our schedules. I'm not sure what will happen with this but I'm just hoping she finds a place without mold and somewhere near Burger King.
