At about 10, I got an email back from the constable handling the case. It wasn't really much of an update, he just thanked me for the info I provided and said he would update the report and let me know what happens next. As far as I'm aware, old mate doesn't even know I know what he's stolen yet. Don't think the police would've even contacted him yet. And my org don't seem like the type who'd go and recover my stuff.

I'm still struggling with a lot of anxiety about it all, though. When I got home today, I found the shed door wide open and a couple of things that were previously in there out on the ground outside. Unfortunately he fucked up that lock before he left, so it no longer locks (we aren't meant to have access to the shed, but he liked to smoke and drink with his dodgy mates in there, so he just broke the lock). It was held shut by 2 paint cans in front of it, so probably wouldn't have come undone through the wind. But I didn't see anybody go through the side gate (which is just a simple latch, no key), which my camera has a small view of. That makes me think either it was the wind, and I'm overthinking this, or he took a clone of a key to come in through the back fence gate, or just jumped the fence.

Also, I still haven't signed my enrolment paperwork for the TAFE course…. I had questions about some info that seemed inaccurate in the report when they sent it to me at 4:48pm on Wednesday, so I replied to the intake or sales lady asking for clarification, and she never replied. I had a busy day yesterday, so I didn't follow up, and now it's the weekend… I'm meant to start this Tuesday! It's all feeling really overwhelming and like it's too soon now, since I'll have 24 hours (at most) after the paperwork is signed before I start — and I missed the intake last week. I don't want to bail, but I don't think I'll have enough time to prepare and get myself ready, mentally or practically (there's apparently some learner handbook thing I'm meant to read before I rock up that I can't access until I am enrolled and can access their LMS thingy).

Thoughts, wise DT people? Should I call first thing on Monday and just go for it anyways? Should I ask to swap to a course starting at a later date (they seem to run this course fairly frequently, so it'd most likely just be a month or so wait)?
