I have never ever had this sickening helpless feeling!!!! I had some stuff stolen from my car!!! On Wednesday morning I went to get my gym bag in my car to put stuff in it. Couldn't find it and just thought that's weird and I was running late that I just packed another bag. Then for two days my hubby and I looked everywhere. I cleaned out my car Monday nite but usually leave my bag in the car and put new in the morning of my workout. So we came to the conclusion that I mustv'e left my car unlocked and someone took it. Then yesterday we are looking for the diaper bag, not there. Then noticed the first aid kit was gone too. Okay, they really didnt get much but for some work clothes, a pair of sandles, and costume jewelry that I put in my bag before I workout. Diaper bag, so what diapers, cream, wipes, the normal cheap stuff. Not a designer bag either. Okay, still thinking this is not so bad for a stupid mistake, my hubby says this is a crime of convenience, finding a car unlocked. But here's the sickening part!!!! Yesterday on our way to a birthday party, I opened the glove compartment, and realized I had left a ring that my dad had given to me. My dad was part of the target racing team for about 4 years and they won 3 championships. When the team wins, they all get the big gold championship rings with their name engraved. Dad gave one to each of his 3 children. When he gave it to me we were just getting in the car and my stuff was packed in the back as he lives about a 5 hour drive away. Normally I would have put it in my purse but nooo stuck it in the glove. So stupid me forgot to take it out. I am just sick and can't sleep. So now today I am going to file a police report. Thinking about contacting pawn shops. and thinking about telling my dad. So scared of telling him it's gone. It was the best of the 3 rings because the team was first to have back to back wins. How irresponsible of me to leave it in the car for so long and to leave it unlocked. I just have been careless.
Does anyone have any advice? Been through this? I can't get it out of my head and have never been so helpless. It was my fault. Stupid punks, tho. Our neighborhood overall is safe and gated. But I am thinking it's someone, maybe kids, who live in our neighborhood. They could have taken the gate remote and didn't.

I'm so sorry to hear about the stolen ring. This type of thing has happened to us too. One night we forgot to lock the car and the next day when I got in the car all the papers were out of the glove box and strewn across the front seat. I assumed my husband had been looking for something and just didn't put things back, but after talking to him realized that he didn't do it. They went through everything, but as far as we know didn't take anything. Like you, we live in a safe neighborhood where we all the neighbors know each other and are friends. I'll just never get why people think it's okay to take others' belongings. I really hope you get the ring back some how.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry! Since the thing is so unusual, there is hope. Do file the police report and see if you can post something on your HOA website or if they will do a mass email. Ours will do that for lost animals, etc. If it was kids, someone may talk. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you guys for posting support and listening. I tried to do an online police report and it was kicked back by their server. So tomorrow I will file asap. I am going to attend the next HOA meeting to discuss the matter. There has been several break-ins so hopefully it will come back to me:)))
ReplyDeleteI would definetley do the police report and pawn shop thing since it is so valuable. I don't know what your changes are though.
ReplyDeleteI'd tell your dad, hopefully he'd appreciate your honesty. It was an honest mistake.
