Mom would say don’t blame the victim, referring to a broken vase, to someone dying. I would say, why leave the handmade quilt out for people you don’t know to use? Why be angry when it is torn. Put away the things you love. Hide them. Sequester them. Keep them safe. Don’t leave them to the mercy of strangers.
