One police officer just after they reported the crime said some people were very upset because they could not say everything that was in their safe; family papers, family heirlooms. If you have ever been burgled (we have) it's sometimes days, weeks or even longer before you realise everything that's been taken. Last time, we didn't realise the car was also missing for a couple of hours after we got up in the morning and found the broken window. But what has been stolen and from whom is irrelevant, really. I think, going back to the OP, it's just typical of the trivialisation of news. Go for the human interest every time.
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
