A St. John’s comedian can’t wait to get back home after being targeted by thieves in Iceland.
Ryan Dillon, who had never before travelled outside North America, was vacationing in Reykjavik with his girlfriend and some friends when the Airbnb they were staying in was robbed.
The culprits kicked in the door of his apartment and stole everything, from camera equipment to the notebook he uses to jot down jokes.
They even took the rental car they were using and trashed it on the outskirts of the city.
Dillon says the scariest part was the idea that his girlfriend could have been in the apartment when it was hit. He says she wanted to lie down while the others went to a music festival on foot, but they managed to talk her into joining them.
Dillon says friends back home and members of the comedy community have put together a gofundme page to help them replace their lost gear.
