Stinks that they ransacked your car, but good that nothing was stolen!

BarTopDancer · 05-24-2007, 09:21 AM

Glad it was just a mess you had to clean up!

My car was broken into about 5 years ago. They stole my backpack, radio, the cds on my sun visor, trash can and stuffed Tigger.

They left my giant book of CDs, stuffed Weinermobile and a few other valuable things. The cops said they were after a wallet which is why they stole the backpack. Too bad for them I had my wallet on me.

Go buy that Lotto ticket!

There are apparently 3 federal judges in the entire country who are hiring clerks. And, of course, they all want someone from a top 10 school. Which means that I am once again screwed. Only this time I'm screwed AND I have a giant student loan bill. I would have been better off embracing life as an administrative flunky, as that's apparently all I'm suited for.

I'm sorry to hear about your woes. Were they looking for Valentino's ring?

Oh No! No woes! Just a self bitch slap for my stupidity and grateful for the knowledge there was nothing in the car worth stealing and nothing was damaged. As I said, a lucky day!

Nothing identifiable as Valentino-realted in or on the car. Did not spring for personalized plates as I had in VA (rudyfan) now I'm just a jumble of letters and numbers.

I'm so, so sorry about your car being ransacked, Snowflake!

I'm so happy & relieved, though, that nothing of yours was missing!

My scariest encounter with a thieving scuzzhound was in my really early twenties. I was home one morning, curled up on the couch, and somebody knocked on my door. It was still so early, so I didn't answer. The next thing I heard from across the house was somebody breaking through the window and crawling into the house. I was inside with an intruder. I picked up my telephone, dialed 911, and whispered to the operator that I wasn't alone in my house (I didn't want him to hear me). Fortunately, my boyfriend at the time had stopped by, and without thinking he tore through my house, confronted the jackhole and chased him through the house. He exited out of the french doors in the back. The LAPD arrived immediately and searched the neighborhood, but never found him.

Sigh. Such scumbaggery out there.

My advice is to never confront somebody who is potentially armed and dangerous. My friends & family have a history (including myself) of reacting without thinking and confronting the suspect. THANK GOD we've all been lucky!!

Oooh, Ally!! So scary!! I think of this when I leave any of the kids alone. I always tell them, if someone knocks on the door, check and see where they go. {we do have only a couple of front windows and a dog out back but still....} This scenario is exactly what scares me. They may ignore what they feel is a salesperson but who knows?

Prudence, can't you try for those positions anway? You have to have faith, in yourself and in the system that they want the best person for the job. Regardless of the school they come from. Putting your best self forward, that is the best you can do. Let them know you ARE the best for the job.

Our house was robbed once. Everything that was taken/broken was mine. Sort of takes the gleam off of buying new jewelry. I think it was kids because they didn't take a brand new video game, still in the wrapping {returnable?}. They knew it was a crappy game, not worth much. A junkie, normal thief would have taken it thinking it was worth something.

I'm so sorry about your house being robbed, MouseWife!!

Mine was definitely a young guy that intruded, too. Those experieces are so awful! Your home is supposed to be your sanctuary and safe-haven. When somebody violates that, it becomes an absolutely terrifying ordeal.

We have AC!!! There's a big mobile AC unit parked next to the building, with hoses and cables running in to the mechanical room. No ice buckets!
