Might want to check various assorted online resale site. I've heard of missing sketchbooks ending up on them. Folks will steal anything not nailed down. I've been doing security work for about 20 years now. Still amazed how folks will leave stuff unattended in public areas. Women leave purses all over the place unattended, guys seem to misplace wallets or just loose debit/credit/foodstamp cards and ID's all over the place. Phones all over the place.

I'll try that, but I won't hold my breath. I didn't just leave my journal someplace, one thief distracted me while the other made the grab. Also, they were after phones and tablets, so I doubt they will bother with a used journal (except possibly as bait -- "Excuse me, is this your journal?").

Thanks for the tip.

Well, shit. Very sorry to hear that.
