I'm sorry to hear about what happened. Ultimately it's each to their own. In other words there is no one right answer about this. It's down to us as individuals to figure out whether or not we could forgive someone if this happened to us.
As for me, well I would forgive but the pain of losing a house and all of my belongings would take some time to get over but never the less I would forgive. I'd be upset about the whole situation but hopefully not angry.

Also to pick up on other points made on this thread, in my opinion it's not about the compulsion but the act. A serial killer acts to kill others but 99% of people would never forgive such an act and understandably so. But then you have someone who has the compulsion to throw another person's teddy bear in the dumpster. Most people would be upset by this but most likely forgive. So in my opinion it's not the compulsion but the act. Can we forgive others for their actions, although we can and do take other factors into mind, such as intent, compulsions, etc.
