This morning I was snuggled under my down comforter waiting for the alarm to go off because why would Nana get out of bed early? The spouse comes into the bedroom and announces "We were robbed again and this time they took the white pickup."
WTF???
The spouse keeps his vehicle keys in the shop. You remember the shop? It's the building that was robbed in December that we added a fancy new keypad entry device to prevent further break-ins. This time the thief broke in the window. The perpetrator took his/her time deciding which vehicle to steal. He took the spouse's "retirement" pickup. We purchased it last year so that when the spouse retired and gave up his company pickup, he would have a truck because you can't live in eastern Oregon without a truck. It wouldn't be manly!
The thief also took the spouse's new i-phone. He called my brother-in-law at 4:00 A.M. and when asked who it was, he replied "Who do you think it is, faggot?" Great, I wonder how many of the spouse's friends and customers got phone calls like that from his phone number?
The pick-up has On-star, but we never continued the subscription because we live in a small town and never get lost. We thought that On-star could help to recover the vehicle. Nope, they don't help unless you have an active subscription. They wouldn't turn off the engine.
I'm building some serious rage against "them." Today "them" seems to encompass thieves and everyone plotting against my serenity. I'm reserving some of my irritation for On-Star.
When I left home this morning the spouse was still talking to the sheriff.

Can't begin to imagine how angry and frustrated you must be. I'm really sorry that you've had to experience this - and hope the truck will be back with you soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry this is happening to you. I've only been robbed once and it was ages ago, but I still remember the feelings of loss and violation. I hope they catch this bastard.
ReplyDeleteMany commiserations! I hope you have been able to disable the i-phone at the very least. No nice...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. What an ugly circumstance to be working through. I've been robbed twice and have fantasies of the perp(s) stepping off a curb and being hit by a bus. Enormous double decker bus.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible. I am so sorry. If you have "locate my phone on the iPhone, you can locate it. I hope the truck is returned, in tact, soon. We have a security system that we can disable or enable from our phones. That is a little scary if the phone is stolen. We also have the system set up to go off if the shed it entered.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's awful. I believe it's time to feel some rage. Why you? Why are they picking on you? Makes you wonder if it's someone who knows you, and knows they'll find good stuff there.
ReplyDeleteThat's so terrible -- and absolutely infuriating! I'm so sorry and hope the truck can be recovered unscathed and also the i-Phone. (Calling and harassing family and friends is extra-despicable!) Being robbed is so much worse than simply losing things. It's such a violation and invasion of your space and your careful plans -- e.g. your husband's "retirement truck." We were robbed nine years ago when a gang kicked in our front door and rampaged through the house, destroying so much and taking anything of value -- including jewelry and artifacts of sentimental as well as monetary value and my laptop computer with all my patient files. But what was most infuriating was that they trashed our beloved home and abused our cats (who had known only love and kindness in their lives and who took days to stop shaking and start trusting people again. )It took a long time for life to feel normal again for all of us. I hope the robber or robbers are found and suitably punished for the grief they've caused you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had good insurance and those creepy robbers get caught and jailed and prosecuted royally.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Being robbed feels like such a violation. And then you get to spend hours and hours dealing with law enforcement and insurance companies and repairmen.
ReplyDeleteGrrr! After having been robbed on Christmas Eve, I am still reeling from the shock. And you have been dealt a second blow! Did you know that you can turn your iPhone completely off? And you should be able to find it using the GPS. My brother-in-law wrote how to do it here. I hope it helps you figure out how to find the thief!
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible news. It's enough to be enraged over. And it has to be an attack on your sense of security.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this, Nana. Just keep on keeping on, girl.
ReplyDeleteI hate this post. So sorry that the jerk found you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a miserable thing to read about! I am so sorry that you have been struck again by idiots. Holy Cow, your sanity must be seriously crazed, as I'm sure mine would be. I hope your husband gets everything back, but the whole situation won't be over soon, as it will be so hard to stop being mad about it!
ReplyDeleteBig, miserable bummer!
So....you think it was the same person who did it both times? Wow.
ReplyDeleteThese are the things that make people think about carrying around baseball bats for random use on random people who look at them funny.
I am so sorry! The first time was bad enough. It sure sounds like one person taking full advantage. I hope he gets caught so you can have some peace of mind. Feeling some anger right along with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! I remember when my apartment was robbed many years ago, I felt so violated and wanted to rage at "them." I can't imagine going through something like this twice in two months! I really hope they catch the thief and soon. That story about the phone is just totally outrageous--talk about brazen! Feeling your pain and anger and sending a warm hug....
ReplyDeleteReal low lifes huh? Makes one want to cast an evil spell over them. - Dave
ReplyDeleteThis sucks in massive proportion. I seriously think something insane is going on in the atmosphere of the Universe right now, so much insanity has happened to so many good people I know recently that it just can't be coincidence. I hope you can get it all situated and find the idiot who robbed you & that they get a little taste of the swirling bad karma. So, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lousy deal. So sorry.
ReplyDeleteOMG, are you telling us this "On Star" company has it in it's power to help stop and locate this vehicle, but is flatly refusing to do anything?? Surely the police can demand they do? I'd be FURIOUS - gahhhhh, what utter Prat's! Oh hon, I am so sorry this has happened to you, not once, but now twice, I can only imagine the violation you must feel. What gets me, over here when they do ever locate and prosecute these morons, they often rarely get more than a slap on the wrist for their crimes. The system dicourages prison for "non-violent" criminals, favouring to impose suspended sentances and community service, simply turning them straight out onto the streets to rob again!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. That is really unfair. Unbelievable to think that people have the desire to violate people in these kind of ways.
