Good morning all! Chilly here but the coffee is good. And this is going to be another lengthy post from The Rat.
Thursday, we went to Hobby Lobby to get Ken's granddaughter a $50 gift card. She loves making things. We went to the Moose Lodge after we got it. We hadn't been there in about a month and everyone seemed to miss us. There are such nice people there. I got hugged a bunch.
Well, anyway, I left the gift card out in the Honda for some reason that I have not figured out why I didn't keep it in my pocketbook.
Yesterday morning I filled out the card that I had gotten and went out to the Honda to get the gift card. The only problem was that the Honda was not where we left it in the driveway.
Can you believe it? My SUV was stolen from my own driveway. I always lock my doors. It is just a habit but Ken does not (I think he will now). He felt bad because he didn't lock it. They also dug through his truck but Ken could not find anything missing. I can't tell because it is full of stuff.
I personally think it was just kids taking a joy ride or maybe someone looking for a gun. They emptied out his glovebox looking for something. Moved everything in his truck. There was a nice expensive drill in his backseat and they did not take it. That would have been easy to get rid of at a pawn shop. There was also a nice knife in plain sight and they did not take it either.
Of course, I called 911 and they said they would send someone out. They called me back about an hour later and said they were not coming because it was raining. Sheesh! He said they could not get fingerprints from the inside of Ken's truck. I know darn well I have seen them do it on TV.
Where is CSI when you need em'?
Because our 3 vehicles were old my dad would not carry comprehensive on our insurance so there is nothing that I can do. I should have changed that when he passed but I've been so busy I did not even think of it. Since it is a 06, they would not have given me much anyway and I would have paid a lot of the extra coverage so I am not too upset over that.
In fact, I'm not upset at all. I hate it happened and I have never had anything like this happen before but why get upset over something I cannot control? I am just very lucky that I have other means of transportation. I hope that they do find it on the side of the road somewhere. We will just have to wait and see.
Because my garage door opener was my car, Ken figured out a way to put a master lock on it so it could not be opened. He said we could go buy new remotes today to reprogram. It is nice to have someone to go through this with. I sort of like having someone in my corner.
It was a heck of a day. I also received the first notice of wanting payment from my attorney. I went to them last December and they quoted me $1800. She said it could be a little more depending on their time. Evidently, they put more time into it than I knew about because I have done so much myself. I received a bill for $4,700. Now that upset me a little bit. They sent a list of what they did and the date but did not have any times listed. There is not much I can do but I will voice my opinion.
Well, this post should make you feel better about the kind of day you had. You are welcome.
Have a great day all.
We had french toast (I added banana, drizzle of caramel and a squirt of reddi whip) and homefries with onions. 
We had Chinese takeout.
Sorry you didn’t sleep well, Rat2.
