#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#6000bf#ed_cl#Thanks, guys. #ed_op#IMG onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#C6D3EF';this.style.border='1px solid #3169C6'; " style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; CURSOR: pointer; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" onclick="InsertImage('/richedit/smileys/confused.gif');" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor=''; this.style.border=''" src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/confused.gif" align=absMiddle#ed_cl# I feel violated - (and with no cell, kind of vulnerable, lol.) I'm really frustrated with the whole situation. It was not a cheap wallet, for one - it was my Xmas present to myself last year. I don't normally splurge on stuff like that, but I really liked it and it was on sale. I'd made a nice bonus in December and decided to spend it on myself. #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#6000bf#ed_cl#Obviously the inconvenience of having to put all my accounts on hold, and have no way to access any of my money until Monday at the earliest is huge, too. But in all honesty, I care more about the pictures that were in the wallet. Everything else can be replaced...and will be. And I only lost $10 in cash, everything else was locked down before anything could be spent. But the pictures hold sentimental value, y'know? And I almost lost it when I remembered they were in there...and that I might not see them again. Sure, my friends can give me new ones and write on those, too...but it will never be the same message.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#6000bf#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#6000bf#ed_cl#I don't think I'll see any of it again. The police told me there is nothing they can do except file a report. Agreed, how do you trace something that walked away from a purse which can't be fingerprinted because it is cloth?? There's no evidence against the person my gut says did it, either. So...nothing they can do there, either. My boss did let me post the sign - so, hopefully I will get my pictures back, but I am not getting my hopes up. At the very least, I think the sign will serve to remind my customers to watch their things a little closer during the holiday season.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#6000bf#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#6000bf#ed_cl#Life does go on. Just hugely inconvenient to have to deal with all this! #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#6000bf#ed_cl#On a good note...I saw my new buddy tonight, and he said he was really glad I came in because he'd tried to call me, but thought maybe his cell phone was out of service. lol, I told him it wasn't his, and explained that my cell and some other things had been stolen so I'd had it shut off and it would be a couple weeks before I got the cell back up and turned on again. But, I did give him my home number, after confirming that it does, in fact, work, when he asked, lol.
There is a bright side to every story...but is this week over yet? lol#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
