If it gets published you'll know who stole it though, right?

I'm pretty sure that if it were to get published he would somehow be able to stake a claim over it. But chances are the thieves just threw it out anyway.

I guess there's literally no happy ending!?

Well, the smart thing to do...at this point anyway...is to file a claim with your insurance. In the claim include a summary of that book so in the rare chance that book actually gets published, you'll have some sort of proof you're the author. And I hate to break it to you, but the thief/thieves probably just threw away. Bummer dude.

I'm sorry that you got your book in progress stolen. I'm writing a book too so I know how you feel.

Get over youself goodbye. It must be hard to be you yeah living in your life i was always the one to cry. Now everything is alright. On another note, Ydi it sounds like you only had one copy. Tsk.

I had no idea Brian got a fml... cool.

I s'pose it's time to turn over a new page in your life. The thieves will most likely turn up at your door asking you how it ends...

your appartment cannot get "robbed"

FYI--Apartments get burglarized. People get robbed.
