Life So, got my car window busted out last night... - Page 5

**luv** · 07-02-2015, 08:16 AM

I went to a local park to walk/jog. When I got there, I did my usual and put my purse in the passenger floor board and covered it up. However, I noticed there was a guy in a vehicle not far from me. I didn't know if he saw what I was doing, so I got a little spooked and decided to put it in my trunk.

I went for an hour long walk/jog and took a few pictures at the park when I was through. Upon returning to my car, there was a park ranger waiting for me. My driver's window had been busted out. They got in the trunk and took my purse. That was it.

A couple with a baby that had been parked near me heard an alarm as they left their car. They thought someone had tried pulling in and hit their car so they turned around to go back. They saw someone run around and hop into a large, black, newer model Ford Raptor with black rims and tinted windows and speed off. Unfortunately, they did not get a plate number. They were nice enough to call the park ranger, and they waited there until I was done with my walk before they left.

I got the parks report number, called to report it with the police (an officer actually would have been there, but he was at the local dog park on a similar call), cancelled my debit card, and filed it with my insurance. Now I just have to talk with insurance, get a new window and tint, new license, reopen a new bank account (I actually had checks in my purse for the first time in over two years), blah blah blah....

They probably got they were getting lucky. I drive a Lexus, so they probably thought they hit the jackpot. Joke's on them. I do not have any credit cards, I had $45 cash (which I never carry cash...doh!). The manager of my bank is a family friend. She called me first thing this morning to go over yesterday's charges with me. So far, they got $94 in gas last night and they tried using it as a local hospital this morning. Since I had checks in my purse, she closed my account and opened a new one. I guess I should get a printout from her to add the information to my police report.

Anyway, at least I'm fine. Just have to deal with the stress of getting everything cancelled and redone, filed, replaced, etc. They do have my license, which freaks me out a little, but I'm just more pissed off than anything.

Moral of the story, don't take anything with me when I go to the park. I can see why parks with trails are popular. As opposed to shopping malls, where ladies take their purses in with them, ladies do not carry their purses with them when they walk. Plus, with the trails, they know you're going to be gone for a while.

**** that, man. I leave my golf clubs (nice clubs) in my backseat all of the time. Perhaps it's a bad idea, I don't care. I have a little faith in humanity, I guess. Besides, she put her freaking purse in her trunk for crying out loud. Blaming someone for being the victim is dumb.

Ok after re-reading you're obviously being sarcastic. It's been a long week.

I'd love to go on a rant about our current City Manager/Police Chief/Sheriff, but that would get me terminated immediately. If people only knew......

Hopefully she will use the BC pills so she can't breed

Someone ****s with my car they are in for a surprise.

And if they bypass everything and I can tell the police where my car is exactly. They can't bypass the gps and drive the car.

Springfield has a lot of scandolous people. Sorry for your losses. I've only been in Springfield for a little over a year, and someone broke the passenger side window out of my truck and stole my welding helmet. And just a few weeks ago someone stole a usps package right off my front door.

You need to listen to that sixth sense when it tells you something's off. Whether that guy in the truck was the guy who did it or not, if something doesn't seem right, leave, especially being a female alone.

Yes I totally believe you catch more thieves than speeders.

**Predarat** · 07-02-2015, 04:03 PM

This kind of thing is not going to slow down until more of them get sent to hell.
