In another Instagram story, the Canadian-born comic said her boyfriend
and childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra swiftly jumped into action.
“This is why I love Bobby K [Kootstra],” she wrote in a clip that shows drops
of blood on the laptop, according to the BBC. “He got in a fight and
wrestled back my Netflix series, all my scripts.”
The laptop contained the scripts to Ryan’s upcoming comedy on the
streaming service, “The Duchess,” which she’s written and will star
in, Variety reported.
But the crook didn’t leave empty-handed, making off with a ring and other
pieces of jewelry, she said.
“Is there a way to circulate this foreshadowing ring around pawn shops that
the masked man stole before he was tackled into the street?” Ryan
tweeted.
In another, still-available Instagram story, she showed a photo of some
earrings that were stolen.
“He did get these as well, which isn’t a big deal as it’s all just STUFF but
might help catch him through pawn shop CCTV or whatever,” she wrote.
In other posts, she said she’s had restless nights after the burglary and that
she wants to get a German Shepherd because her small dogs were
apparently “asleep at the wheel” when the intruder entered, according to
the BBC.
Ryan was reunited with Kootstra by chance in her hometown of Sarnia,
west of Toronto, as she filmed for the BBC series “Who Do You Think You
Are?” according to the network.
Ryan’s salvaged script for “The Duchess” tells the story of a “fashionably
disruptive single mom,” according to Radio Times.
Ryan is not new to Netflix — she has filmed stand-up specials “In Trouble”
and “Glitter Room” and appeared alongside Jimmy Carr in “The Fix.”
