I am genuinely sorry the police are being so ham fisted with your assets and stuff. It is not fair that they have and continue to treat you like some kind of criminal when you are not. I completely respect your decision to remake the characters even though they are different and that when you get your assets back the original looking characters will return. I truly and honestly respect your decision and I really hope that the police will at some point in time hand back your stuff. I know its been frustrating for you, as well all of us. I have said many stupid things in pure frustration and I know I should never have done that. You are by far my favorite author (I see your games as really very well written stories). Over the last years I have had to cope with my mom dying and then my grandmother. I was very close to them, they where my entire world. Your stories (games) kept me above the water. It might sound strange, but for some reason they brought me great comfort, familiar likeable / lovable characters. I hope you can forgive me for some of the stupid things I said. Thank you for being open and honest with us as always.
