Just a reminder to people about leaving items in their car. I was at practice tonight, and very stupidly left my wallet and iphone in the console. This was in a friends driveway, in a well lit area, so I did not think Id have much to worry about.

They smashed the window and grabbed the phone and wallet....

Boy do I hate thieves.

I feel for you Glocke. I’ve had something similar happen to me, except my wallet was in my gym bag in my office. I have a corner office with only one door in or out. Someone took my wallet right out of my gym bag. I had to cancel my credit card, my debit card, cancel check numbers, get a new DL, new CHL, new C-Card,….and on top of that I was leaving that afternoon on a weekend MC trip and had $800 cash in it.

The sad thing is I 99% sure I know who it was that took it, I just can’t prove it. He still works here too.

Just goes to show you that you can never be too cautious.

Well Olie, I am a firm believer in karma. I have no doubt that at some point the people who ripped you off and ripped me off will get a payback of some type.

As a matter of fact, about 3 months after my wallet came up missing the "gentleman" (and I use that word loosely) that I suspect took it got robbed, and he had just cashed his paycheck.

What goes around comes around!

On a more serious note, I was playing a gig 'way back when/another lifetime, etc, etc and had my coat hanging on the back of a chair at a table right next to the stage. Silly girl. End of the night, sans coat, billfold and car keys. Not happy.

Needless to say, I developed the habit of keeping my personal belongings *on stage*.

On a positive, my billfold was returned about a month later. Found on the side of a road many miles away all intact less the cash of course. It was my good fortune the guy that returned it saw all the 'music related' receipts and being a player tracked me down to return it. Sweet. :-)

Good vibes to Gregory and to the return of his property. :-)

Best Regards,

Kimberly :-)

Yup, the world we live in is a sad place at times.

Its sad but you can never truly trust the heart of mankind! I am also a great believer in karma, each action is balanced out in an appropriate manner - we truly reap what we sow!

Being a victim leaves a bad taste in the mouth, its a sore lesson for sure!

John.
