Nah, everyone in the area was present and accounted for, everyone that wasn't either lived half the state or half the country away, and no one was destitute enough to try that anyways. We were guessing it was probably one of his later acquaintances or someone he once rented a room to that did the deed. He was handicapped from an accident in the late 80's but had a stubborn independence streak, so he ended up trying to keep a home on his own despite being unable to work full-time which in turn led to him renting out to less-than reputable types in an already shitty area.

To keep this blog post somewhat on-topic, I guess seeing that happen left me with a faint lingering fear that I might end up the same; dead and with nothing to be remembered by, pass on, or even have sold to benefit my family because everything was just straight up robbed and likely distributed among dozens of pawnshops if not discarded in some drainage canal. He had good sized SNES, Genesis, Saturn, PSX, and 64 collections that he had owned since they were new, TONS of PCs/components and monitors stretching from the early 90's to the then present late 00's, some memorabilia, and a lot of old photos and videos saved to media of all sorts (but not so much paper) - all just gone. I might be a collectorfag but I have no illusions of taking it with me when I go or having it appreciate in value like crazy, but where it DOES go is still important to me. I guess the only moral of the story is to be careful of who you associate with.
