Accuray, I really appreciated what you had to say.
This pretty much fits with the conclusion I came to. I think he is really flipping out again about his business and the failure of the server was just too much to cope with. He flipped - and came out with some BS story about having to break in.
Funny thing is, he didn't even try to make it look as if he'd broken in. Nothing in my daughter's room was moved, and he would have had to haul himself right over her desk and through piles of junk in order to squeeze through the window.
Likewise, outside the window, nothing had been touched and various things would have had to have been moved for him to get access.
Just a bit weird that he would have lied so outrageously and then not even tried to cover his tracks - indicative of 'flipping out' in the extreme I'd say. And indicative of the level of strain he is under in relation to his failing business at the moment.
He has taken the server for good now, so that won't be an excuse in the future.
He was very contrite this afternoon about 'what happened this morning', and when I acted upbeat and understanding about the emergency, he seemed relieved.
He could just be playing me, but I can see so much fear and panic in his eyes. There is no point making a big deal of it at the moment. My gut says better to show compassion right now.
