Tuesday, November 21, 2006 We Were Robbed Where we live, no one locks their car doors. Well, at least before last night, that is. On the way in to work this morning, Jeff noticed that his backpack, which he'd left in the car, was completely unzipped and splayed open in the back seat. He called me and asked me if I had gone in the car last night looking for something. I hadn't, obviously. I asked him if there was anything else awry, and he said the CDs were still there, but he wasn't sure if the money that had been in the console was missing. He went and checked, and there was one penny left. We don't know how much was in there, but it wasn't much. Now, our van, they also apparently got in to, and there is where they "got us". We had brought in the portable DVD player that is normally always out there, but the extra screen we had purchased for Kira, and all the wires for it, were gone. I don't know if that was all that they took (I guess the fact that it is all that we noticed as missing is a good thing). I'm a bit more paranoid, though, because I haven't seen my wallet in weeks (Jeff and I suspect that it was accidentally thrown away ... loooong story!), so I've been checking for any activity on the one card that was in there. But us being robbed isn't the worst of it. Not by a longshot. We called the police, and they came here AMAZINGLY fast .... probably because they were still in the neighborhood! 20 houses in our immediate neighborhood were hit. Some of the things that were stolen include collector's knives and TWO firearms. Yep, there are now thieves out there with more guns. And, to be fair, I am not anti-gun as much as I am anti-bullet. Still, I'd bet dollars to donuts that those guns were loaded... Jeff said it is a good thing we didn't notice anyone out there last night! ------------------------------------------------
