  • Hugs to you all,
     
    And thank you for your support.  I was so not wanting anyone to point out the "good side" or how much "worse" it could have been ... I was getting a lot of that around the office and it made me want to scream.  I've decided I will NEVER try to point out that it could have been worse because that makes it sound like I don't care about how bad it IS.
     
    I met with the police officer yesterday who spoke very sternly to me about protecting myself and my property.  And told me that I should tell everyone I know that especially at this time of year, you should be extra careful.  Don't let go of your purse for an instant.  Even in my office he told me to lock it in a drawer.  Of course I have to BUY one first... but I get the point.
     
    AND - although my bank accounts are still frozen for at least another week, I have been helped out by a couple of friends and I have offers of more assistance if it is needed, so I'm covered for gas and groceries until I can get access to my money again.  I was able to go yesterday morning and get a new driver's license. 
     
    Wells Fargo provided me with the exact time that charges were made against my bank account, so the police officer (pray for officer Laney, he's a good man and he's working hard on this) will be able to review the security tapes at WalMart and Macy's and hopefully figure out who the perp was.  (I've also decided that "perp" is a good work.  Is combines jerk and poop nicely.)
     
     
    Even if I don't get my stuff back (although I'm still kind of hoping ...)  I would like to see this cretin go to jail for what he's done to me.  And because of the speed and throughness with which it was done, he's probably done it often to others as well. Thank you double and triple for letting me know that you'd help me smack the tar outta this guy.

  • The safeguards that are in place can be a lifesaver.  I've been ripped off a few times but didn't get hurt financially.  Inconvenient as hell, however.  So, no, I would never minimize what you're going through.  But I AM glad you're going to be OK.

  • I had my purse snatched many years ago, it sucked in many ways, so I sort of know how you feel about it. I got my purse back, but everything of value was  gone... I'd have rather had the pictures and all in there than the purse itself.

  • "perp" is good and you made me laugh....but I STILL prefer to call the perp a bastard. 

  • I hope they catch him! I sure hope you get your flash drive back with your novel on it. I know what it's like to have very little money, and having someone take the little you have is beyond aggravating. I understand your revenge dream. Were you wearing the red high heels??

  • Actually I think the Latin of perp is jerk off and perp is also a derivative of the German word Poopsydaisy. Hugs

  • Oh Terri!  I've been AWOL for a while and just saw this today.  I'm just flummoxed...I hope they nail this guy and put his sorry self in jail.  The jerk!

  • I can think of far more imaginitive ways to punish this scumbag than smacking the tar out of him.  Oh yessss...my precioussss...we can hurt him.

  • "Perp" is indeed a nice mix of jerk and poop. Our storage unit was recently burgled -- for the second time. While we didn't lose anything of immense value as you have, it was hard to explain what had happened to my five-year old. The heartbroken expression on her face made me want to find the jerks and punch them.

    *hugs* Do take care and may things be recovered.

  • Oh my goodness, Terri. I haven't been reading for a few days. I'm so sorry.

    What an awful thing to have happen to you.

  • I'll never think of the word "perp" in the same way again. It would be so great if they could catch that PERP and get your things back! WOW. Sounds like the police are doing their best.

  • Arg! I am so outta the loop!?! You got your purse stolen?? No bueno!

  • I'm with Twiddle on this one -- let's get creative on this cretin's buttocks.
