Ever have one of those days where, while you're still waking up, you find out something has happened, or the like, which pretty much ruins the rest of your day? While no has been hurt (physically, at least), I'm having one of those days.
To explain quickly: I live in a home which houses two apartments. There is a small basement in the house, which we and our neighbers share - we put our washing machine and dryer down there, our neighbors have done the same, and we also use it for storage. They use the back of the basement. We use the corner that is tucked underneath the stairs. Our landlord did, at one point, tell us that we -could- use the basement for storage. We put my rabbit's old cage down there (the one we are currently using is basically a loan from a friend. If she ever needs it, she's getting it back ASAP), along with all of our christmas decorations (some of which are decades old and have a lot of personal meaning), plus the tree.
Well, not that long ago, our washing machine was apparently acting up, and would cause massive puddles in the basement around it - never going so far as to touch our storage. Eventually, our landlord and his lackeys came in, removed the washing machine, did some tests - they fixed the problem, and after several days, retruned the washing machine. Apparently, they decided to do something else as well. With no warning presented to us, they removed everything we had in storage there. They never asked us if it was of any value to us. They never bothered to hand it over for us to store in our apartment until we found somewhere else to put them.
So now, my bunny's original cage is gone, and more importantly, every single christmas decoration is gone, including the stuff from my grandmama, who died of cancer a few years back.
We tried earlier to contact our landlord about it. We don't think it'll be of any use, though. Christmas is gonna suck this year... I know decoratiosn aren't important - but jsut the way they were taken... its really disheartening.
So, now, for actual dicussion.
Any of you ever had something like this happen before? Anyone ever have a nasty landlord?
PS - My mother has been searching for a different apartment to rent since spring. However, certian requirements need to be met, and we haven't found anything that works for us yet. Otherwise we'd have been out of here before this happened.

[Edit]: I don't really expect replies to this. I just wanted to get it out somewhere, as its had me frustrated all day so far, and I don't like that feeling....
