Another low life, another burglary on Karepa St

Shelly from Brooklyn

Happy Easter to us. NOT!
Those low life burglars have been on the loose again and have stolen all of our tools last night.

The project is focused on researching a topic. I'm really interested in the topic I've picked, and I like researching - but as usual, it's taking me a while.
