Unit 5.6, exercise 7, page 145.0:01
It happened one night when Tony and I had gone out to the cinema.0:09
We locked the house, as we always do, and caught the bus into town.0:13
We watched a film and grabbed a bite to eat afterwards.0:18
And that's when you were burgled?0:22
Looking back on it now, I suppose it was good that we didn't come straight home.0:25
So what happened when you did get home?0:30
I just couldn't believe my eyes.0:33
It was heartbreaking.0:35
They'd broken in through a window and completely ransacked the place.0:37
That must have been awful for you.0:42
Much worse than I thought it would be.0:45
All our valuables were taken and the rest of our possessions were smashed and ruined.0:48
I suppose you call the police.0:54
But while we were waiting for them to arrive, I kept noticing that more things were broken or missing.0:57
And I just couldn't bear it any longer.1:03
It was driving me mad.1:07
I can understand that.1:09
But you were fully insured, weren't you?1:11
The insurance company was very efficient and helped us with the process of replacing everything.1:15
It was a huge weight off our shoulders that they made it as easy as possible.1:21
Although it has to be said that cash value and sentimental value are completely different.1:26
I mean, it took me a long time to come to terms with losing my grandmother's ring.1:33
That was irreplaceable.1:38
At least it's all over now.1:42
Yes, but I don't think anyone gets over something like that completely.1:44
