Just a quick thing to let you all know the police recovered my tablet. Other than a chip to the screen it's okay.
Seems as soon as they saw it wasn't anything super valuable (AT&T Trek HD) they ditched it in a random backyard where it lay for a bit until the police tracked down the GPS and made it ring.
Thank you all for your support and caring. <3
I'm still okay, coming out of the emotional blankness and moving on from it.
