The time I was robbed.

One thing I’ve discovered about writing is that the very moment you feel as if you have nothing to say a situation will fall into your lap. By fall into your lap, I mean really bowl you over.
In my case, after falling asleep at 4:30 a.m. last night due to a child hooked up to a nebulizer, I woke up at 5:00 a.m. to the police beating on our front door. It seemed that some low grade juvenile thugs decided to break into a ton of cars in my neighborhood, which is funny because I live in a pretty safe neighborhood that is flanked with law enforcement and/or the relatives of law enforcement.
The good news? The thieves were caught. They were apparently stupid and thought nothing of walking down the road toting a bunch of purses, one of them being my favorite gold Coach purse. They were male and it was in the a.m. As if that wasn’t obvious? Thankfully, one of our local policemen was patrolling and saw them. He caught them and I now have back ALL of my stolen belongings.
The most amusing thing to me from the theft? All of the tampons in my purse had been opened. I had around 3 or 4. The usual amount that I keep in there. The thieves were compelled to open the packaging on each tampon? Amusing. I know they weren’t previously opened. Were these boys THAT curious? Had they never seen a tampon? Were they trapped in a world of maxi pads and diva cups? Or crocheted tampons? There’s nothing I hate quite like a wasted tampon. Motherf*ckers.
Another amusing/confusing thing: They also stole Allie’s play cell phone. It does not look AT ALL like a real phone. It’s shaped like one and a lady with a nasal voice quacks at you if you press a button. It’s also the super obviously cheap plastic. It reminds me of the time our cars were robbed when I was younger and the thieves left a Milli Vanilli cassette but made sure to steal my Brownie troops cassette tape full of songs.
I’m just really thankful that we got all of the cash and credit cards back. I hate the process of calling and canceling. The last time our cars were broken into the videos of Allie’s first two years were stolen. I’m still a bit scarred from it.

Lawd love a stupid criminal. The tampon thing is mystifying.
A neighbor’s car was broken into a couple of years ago. The take? A 12-pack of Sprite. SPRITE. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess.

I have one of those winners living 2 houses down from me. I don’t get it, we also have about 5 policemen/troopers on my very small street. About 4 years ago, they stole my work laptop (I say they although they weren’t caught that time, but I know it was them). Then last summer, I called the cops cause my dogs were going nuts in the middle of the night and they were caught in the development behind mine. Another time, the captain.of.the.police.force who lives across the street from me had his wife’s car broken into…sitting right next to his patrolcar. Now that’s balls!

WOW! Two days ago, a car across the street from us was found on four cinder blocks in their driveway. It seems, Chrysler 300 tires are all the rage in my own personal hood.
Was your car outside of your house? I’m glad you were able to get your purse back but damn! don’t those dudes know how expensive female hygiene costs these days?

My car was broken into TWICE in a month (and by broken into, I mean they opened the door and hopped on in because my dumbass hubby can’t lock doors). The first time they took my whole purse..I was just getting around to replacing everything when someone found my purse with everything IN it..except my brand new iPod touch. Assholes. The second time? All they took was $10 out of my ashtray..and my wedding rings that I had taken to get resized and forgot to remove from the car. I’m still scarred from that too.
By the way…I’d take Brownie songs over Milli Vanilli too.

I’m so glad that local law enforcement was on the job … and awake. And. speaking as a man … I have no idea why they would open the tampons – unless their fuzzy little brains thought you might be transporting coke in them – instead of cotton.

The tampon thing is seriously creepy. More disturbing than the teens breaking into cars.

Weird..I just came in to work and I’m catching up on my blog reading with VERY tired eyes.. The police were pounding on my door at 2 a.m. because someone broke in my van. Thankfully they caught the guy and I will get all of my stuff back. Scared the ABSOLUTE CRAP out of me though! Glad you got your stuff back too.

My mother in law had her car stolen and they left the car in a ditch and she got it back. What she didn’t get back was my daughters car seat and her dressy xmas outfit. WTH?

Wow, I never knew tampons were so intriguing to young males! Glad you got your stuff back, though. I’d be freaking out!
