Yay, verily, and there shall be more pics forthcoming! WOOT!
Congrats on your new purchase. Now, put a binding spell on it so it stays close to you, and then just to be safer put a curse on it so anyone who helps it to walk away will come down with a scorching case of diarrhea. ;)
Thieves live in a world where, every day, they live with one eye looking back over their shoulder for fear that their past will catch up with tbem. At least the long-term survivors do.
Theirs is a world of empty, inanimate things, of plunder, none of it their own, none of it earned, all of it bought with others' suffering, and which they can't wave around and boast about to others because someone might recognise the items and get them pinched by the law.
Things, in the end, come to matter more to them than people. Moreover, they'll never be able to win the Nobel Prize, or scale Mount Everest, or be invited to see the Queen, or fulfil any of the aspirations they had when they were young, for fear of being recognised and pinched.
Perhaps the scathing curse has already been levelled upon them. By their own hand.
"The victim who smiles steals back something from the thief."

Doesn't seem to stop the dirty criminals from becoming President of the United States, though... ;)
Very nice camera!
