Life So, got my car window busted out last night... - Page 8

**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.

these lowlifes probably prefer serving time, anyways ... free room and board

Fraudulent use of a financial transaction device? Maybe. Depends on the jurisdiction.

I came out of an establishment last Friday night/morning and found my trunk wide open. I still don't know how the trunk got opened. I suspect I bumped the internal release button when I got out and didn't notice. Not a big deal. They stole a Sears battery charger, basic tools, jumper cables, a couple of shovels and some CD's. They left the Deathcab For Cutie CD's. LOL.

Bonus material if they tried charging a hospital visit on your bank card hospitals have zillions of cameras. They will probably catch them easily.

The person in that vehicle was not one of the people that did it.

And, uh, the hospital charge was mine. Monthly payments I'm having debited the first of each month. I forgot until two days later that it would have been my payment...lol.

Well that double sucks.

I'd be willing to bet that the 2 that stole your stuff have some drug charges in their past.
