    The originals along with all of the items were stolen in 2007 when our house in San Diego was burglarized. These are copies that have been stored away in boxes.

    I wonder how the story would have gone if you said your favorite band was Abba,
    Similarly, except the note would have been in Swedish.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    now we just need the real letters to pop up here, and we have ourselves a real mystery
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    Not sure what the statute of limitations are on burglary, but I’d hope SDPD would investigate if someone did post them…

    Thank you! It’s no big deal. I’ve lived without it. All that is important is the memory and don’t need anything
