All is well that ends well


A friend of mine works for a local police station. She told me of a theft report she was reading ... A man went to check on his mother-in-law's house (she was living with her daughter and son-in-law since her husband's death and was quite ill). When he arrived, he saw the back door was kick in. Going inside, it was obvious that things had been taken, because there were "empty spaces" throughout the house.

When the police asked for a list, they couldn't give them one. How could they know what was gone? How could they ever complete the police report? They realized that they could not and would face a total loss.

But wait! They remembered that her parents had an inventory completed a few years ago. Off to the bank, and sure enough, right there in the safe deposit box was the home inventory. Eureka! Police report filed. Insurance claim filed. Financial recovery!
