Nothing. Write. As always.
------------------
It
wasn't exactly my phone that was stolen last night; it was merely the
material transfiguration of my labor, and the loss of all antecedent
values of trade-offs that were not realized due to time spent on labor.
For instance, time with my family, with friends, and students, leisure,
and opportunities forgone as I had to labor in exchange for purchase.
And because it is such, theft transcends its usual simplistic notion of
"object lost". Therefore theft, in my sense, is the ultimate violation
and sacrilege of a fellow human being.
(This extends to your tax being pilfered by corrupt politicians and other such things 'stolen'.)
