Secuestrado

I am saddened to report that we have lost a valued member of our family. After four years of faithful service, our little elf was kidnapped Saturday afternoon while riding the 67 from Avenida Maya to Plaza Italia.
Trevor had taken pictures of an old building loaded with potential and was returning home on the 67 when he was distracted by the crowding and shoving inside the bus. He let the elf out of his sight for just a moment. Not sure which moment actually. It could have been when the girl kneed him in the thigh, or it could have been when he was positioning to get off the bus and the friendly porteno moved aside to let him down first.
Off the bus and on the ground Trevor felt that his pocket was lighter than normal, and reached in to find it empty. The bus was leaving and the elf with it. By now it has probably been sold into slavery and is snapping shots of a dog licking the ice cream off of the face of a cute little tyke. Trevor will never forgive himself.

We have already arranged to adopt a new elf from China. It will arrive next week with the Waseliks who are coming to visit for a week. A visit we are looking forward to!
