My car was broken into last night while I was at an outdoor concert. They pried my door handle and got into my trunk, which is where my purse was. They tried to go to an ATM but couldn't get anything out. Luckily, my bank froze my PIN. So I was up late last night putting out fraud alerts, canceling credit cards, etc.
I thought I was going to have to re-key my locks because I had a house key in my purse, along with my driver's license that had my address. But, as luck would have it, some guy found my purse this morning about three miles from my house as he was walking his dog.
All they took was a $10 bill and some small checks I had yet to cash. They didn't even steal my iPod, which was in my gym bag that they had opened and rooted through. Crazy.
Needless to say, I am pissed and feel violated. More than that, though, is just being inconvenienced. My insurance company won't cover it because the door still locks. So I'll have to pay around $150 to replace my door handle and my bank is charging me $16 to have a new
debit card UPS'd to me at work tomorrow.
And those checks? They were all from my employer (expense checks) and they are making ME pay for the stop payment if I still want them, which is more than the checks were worth (cheap bastards!). So I'm out another $90.
So this little incident's cost me about $300, plus a day of my treasured, sacred vacation time.
GRRRRRRR!!!!!!
