We were robbed...the sequel

<p>So…I got a phone call last Sat. night around 11pm from a Lt. Somebody at the X police dept. with good news that my purse (stolen weeks ago at a bball game) had been found and returned to the authorities…! Everything still in wallet…license, charge cards, and yes…my wedding ring was still stuffed down in a side pocket!!! Also…DDs purse (also stolen) was stuffed inside of my huge mombag and yes!!! her invaluable joke book was inside!!! I haven’t told DD yet and was trying to think of a clever way to return it to her. I may give it to her Calc. teacher—because I heard she often cracks open the book at kids request and recites hilarity— in attempts to hijack the class of course. Any other ideas? </p>

<p>Anyway… I am really glad to have my identity back. Should I feel bad that no one really wanted it?? JK</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing the good news!</p>

<p>HOnest people do still exist! Good news!</p>

<p>Wow! That is such great news…especially the joke book. Well, from one who lost a wallet and cards and license and went through all the troubles that ensue…nice that you got all that back as well. Amazing really.</p>

<p>Yes honest people do exist…Last September when we flew to drop our son, my wife dropped her gold chain at the airport security. The chain was given to her by her father and a locket - with a religious symbol given to her by my grandmother when we got married. She wears it every day. A week later the airline lost and found dept. had it.</p>

<p>Oh… I thought this thread was about the Superbowl</p>

<p>Seriusly- glad you got your stuff back :)</p>

7

<p>Wow, amazing…glad you got the happy ending! I wish I could see your D’s face when she gets that book in her hands!</p>

8

<p>Oh that’s so great. I can’t tell you how many times since you made your original post I’ve been thinking about your D’s notebook (not to discount the wedding ring and other stuff). </p>

<p>There are sometimes happy endings. I’m glad that one of them was yours.</p>

<p>Aww…thanks guys. Glad to have all of you to share the news with!</p>

<p>okay, my H is one of the good guys…at a dinner event, we found a diamond tennis bracelet in the parking lot and turned it in…and the owner was so happy, no reward, but lots of good karma (I hope)</p>

<p>it was so pretty…and it was my anniversary…it was nice to hold for awhile</p>

11

<p>citygirlsmom- I must say…sounds like you already have a great gem! How nice…</p>

<p>Take your daughter handbag shopping, while you have her “found” purse hidden inside your mom-bag. As you both stroll down the aisles, sneak her purse onto a rack, and then try and get her to walk past it. I did something similar to that, and it was hilarious. Plus, if you give it to her Math teacher, you will miss out on the priceless reaction.</p>

13

<p>So what did they take?</p>

14

<p>cash missing I presume? I mean, it was STOLEN, not lost, right? That is a pretty decent thief if cash was taken and all else (including wedding ring) left intact. </p>

<p>-Next time, just ask for a coupla hundred bucks and spare me the trauma!</p>

15

<p>People still carry cash?</p>

<p>One thing that occured to me: beware ID theft. That might be more bothersome than the loss of any of the items in your wallet.</p>

17

<p>We lost just a bit of cash. The car was broken into at a hs bball game. I did ad a rider on my homeowners for ID theft for $45 a year…you should all do this!!!</p>
