So over the weekend my wallet was stolen out of my car. Now I learned the hard way because A) I left it in the car and B) I forgot to lock the car, which is something I never do. Although that may not have stopped the thieving bastards. Apparently there has been a run of this lately in my neighborhood as our local weekly paper the "Friday Flyer" had a story posted about it. Unfortunately it happened on Friday night before I saw the article.
This person (or these people) went and charged up a bunch of stuff from 2 different stores before I realized what happened and cancelled my debit card. The bank told me I have to let the charges go through before they can reverse them (are you kidding me). I had a couple gift cards from the holidays in my wallet, no cash, my license, AAA, Costco, Gym and POA cards. Could have been worse I know. The wallet (Brown Leather Coach) was a really nice gift from my wife so I'm probably most bummed about the loss of that than anything.
It's so frustrating when stuff like this happens at your home. Feeling violated is never anything I would wish for anyone to feel like. I hope this person knows that Bad Karma happens to Bad People.
So today I spent the day (had to take a day off work) recouping the things stolen from me. I was able to also take care of something from one of my other blog posts and talk to one of the college counselors and re-apply for school to get started on finishing the requirements for my Bachelors degree. I'm excited to get started even know I know it's going to be a long road. Next step is to re-take the entry tests because it's been so long and then pick some classes and head back. I just hope they have plenty of options because my current employer won't work with me on this.
