Prabhupāda: Who has taken your Deity?
Bīrabhadra: Who has taken Him? I don't know. Somebody, they broke in the house, they took one typewriter and the sewing machine, and I think it's . . .
Prabhupāda: Who? Typewriter? When?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Last night. Yesterday we just got a new sewing machine . . .
Prabhupāda: Heh?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: . . . a very expensive sewing machine, and they stole it.
Prabhupāda: Sewing machine?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And a typewriter. It was taken from the house.
Revatīnandana: While we were at Griffith Park with kīrtana party they broke into our house and took it.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So that quarter is not nice?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, it's not a nice quarter. So we'll take more precautions now.
Prabhupāda: Somebody must remain always.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay.
Prabhupāda: That is the only precaution.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, that's what I was thinking.
Prabhupāda: I think in our apartment also somebody must remain. Here, this is . . . in New York also I lost my typewriter, tape recorder. In 72nd St. at daytime, at nine o'clock. I went to take my meals in Dr. Mishra's place at about nine, and when I came back we saw the door is broken. That superintendent, he was a Negro. He has done, I know that. This is very common case here. You purchased new machine and new . . .?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The tape recorder . . . I mean the sewing machine was Śīlavatī's. She has sent it down here with Dineśa. Two or three hours before, I had just gotten it.
Prabhupāda: Your tape recorder also?
Dineśa: No. I had brought the sewing machine from Śīlavatī in San Francisco. Yes. This sewing machine.
