<human>: Serious replies only, please. 

Roommate (who is also the owner of our condo) went to dinner with his girlfriend and left the door open to air out his room. Somebody came in  through it while he was gone and stole my laptop and his girlfriends. (I was at a friend's bday party last night and stayed the night with my gf) so I only discovered it when I got back this morning. 

I can't afford to buy a new laptop since I used student loans and my parents help to buy it...He has offered to pay but I feel guilty taking him up on the offer. We don't have home owners insurance or renters insurance. I do feel he is responsible in part... What do you guys think should he pay? 

How do I ask him to do so? what's the proper etiquette. 

This is really personal to me because I have been working on writing a novel the last two weeks and have been staying up all night working on it sometimes until 4.00 am on top of my 12 hour work shifts during my regular job. I feel so disheartened by this loss since it is something that has actually helping me with my depression. I didn't back it up in a month so all my work has vanished.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
