I am SO sorry that happened to you. Punks.
Totally off topic: you've mentioned your girls like Kangaroo Kids. Did you perchance purchase a baby sling there or see them? My SIL invented them and makes them. I know there's other versions in the world but hers are sold there and she has done it for several years now. Best Wishes w/ the b.s.

That totally sucks. I had my clothing stolen out of our apartment community's laundry facility earlier this week- they took a load of all of my favorite clothes. Thieves suck.

I have no idea what the solution is. I hope the police have arrested them already.

From Ronald McDonald house? Oh, that is really low. My niece who lives in NZ has a type of cancer that effects her optical nerve. The family has been thru so much. Ronald McDonald house has helped them out a million times. I can't imagine adding a senseless theft on top of it all. It sucks for sure. This is a crazy world. Some things should be off limits, like stealing from Ronald McDonald house. Or at least the penalty (karma) must fit the crime. Sorry. I just have to shake my head. A cell phone? What crap.

Well, jail doesn't do anything. I've been to jail, and most of the people in there are NOT thinking about how they're going to change their lives for the better when they get out. They're thinking about who they'll rip off next to get more drugs to commit more stupid ass crimes and end up right back in jail. Rehab is probably more appropriate for 80% of the people in jail. But then again, rehab only works if you want it to. Having been the victim of many stupid crimes, I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry this happened to you. It's not fair.

Oh, Mon, that totally sucks! Hopefully your bank won't give you any problems with the unauthorized charges. :(
As for solutions? I don't know...in "primitive" cultures, where theft is punished by the loss of a hand, thievery is pretty rare...

I have had checks stolen from me twice, and both times the thief was able to go on quite a shopping spree, and no sales clerk EVER checked ID. Luckily, I ended up getting all my money and bounced check fees back once the problem was discovered and reported to the police. I hope it all turns out okay for you, too. I know how violated and icky you feel.

How bloody horrible. I will never understand the callous sociopathic streak that causes thieves to operate at all - the quasi-superior mind-set that they somehow deserve to simply help themselves to what others have worked and struggled and strived for. My own solution would be for courts to direct victims to go through their thieves' precious or sentimental belongings - and that of their families, if necessary - and just take what they feel like. Only then might thieves feel some of the frustration, frailty and vulnerability they invariably inflict on their quarry. Love, R xxx

A few years back, Andrew had his checkbook stolen and it was such a pain. That's awful that this happened to you. Another time with the battery and then this. Good luck!

What do I think? I think you're a liberal who may be finally coming to her senses. Shoot, you'll prolly vote Republican in 2006, at this rate.

Ha! Yes, right after Hell Freezes Over (oh wait, I don't believe in Hell...) and monkeys fly out of my butt! :-)

How sick some people are. We had new tenants a few years back and I started to notice that little by little my underwear was starting to disappear (we shared a basement). Someone was stealing dirty underwear from my bin, my son was missing a few things too. Way gross! Hope it comes back with laughter on the whole lot of them.

Sorry about what happened. People actually are stupid enough to do what they tried with your checking account. We had someone purchase 10 $100 prepay cards with a stolen credit card from an automated machine. The person then put them all on his prepay account. His name was Richard. I know becuase I reprinted the transactions and traced the pin codes. Busted!

So sorry to hear about this ... that really sucks! What goes around comes around, and I'm sure the heathens that did this will get theirs.

Sorry to hear about this. :( Hope you get it all sorted out. Happy new year! :)

Most crimes are not committed because "they need milk for the baby". 14 years I have been in criminal prosecution and havent' heard a good excuse yet. Sorry, lazy asses. So sorry you got victimized. I am a big advocate of taking people "out to the wood shed".

agh, so sorry for your loss. This is why I never leave anything of value in my car. It has a clicking cassette player/radio in it and that is it! No CD player, not even the registration and insurance stuff (all in my bag). I also have a club for my car. Plus I own a 96 Toyota Camry, nothing flashy. It's hard that you can't even own nice things without someone taking them from you.
