A moment of silence for the likely murder of my GPA backpack; and my large spur collection (and car window)

Well, my car got broken into last night out front of my friend's house while we were at the 9:30 club to see Erasure (who were awesome). They didn't rifle through it--just smashed and grabbed my GPA backpack, which had a pair of Ariat tall boots, 6 pairs or so of show gloves, an extensive spur collection and some bits. Oh and enough hairnets to start my own cafetaria.

I filed a police report in case it gets turned in and they were able to lift a finger print off my car door(!) even in the rain, and I've posted on the lost and found on Craigslist. Here's hoping that someone finds it dumped and turns it in.

I hate criminals. And I'm starting to hate the city more and more. Thank god I met Mr. RH and didn't end up moving into the city.

Oh RH that totally sucks!

Maybe it will randomly turn up... bet the thief was wondering what all that stuff was. ;)

Interestingly, I had lots of other expensive stuff in my car (like a GPS under my driver's seat), but they didn't go through the car at all, just a smash and grab.

Backback theft. Arg!!!

I hope they were seeking text books to sell back ($100's of bucks in that this time of year) and they ditch your stuff where it can be saved and returned

That sucks!

I would, however, have liked to see the look on the bastard's face when he opened your backpack and saw knee high black boots, leather gloves, spurs, bits, and hairnets....most likely NOT what he was expecting...

:teehee: Exactly what I was thinking...

RH, that sucks... hope it turns up. Any dumpsters nearby that you could check (or erm, have someone else check, since dumpster diving in DC would NOT be my idea of fun)?

My ex (who works crazy hours downtown) had his car broken into -- smash and grab -- and all they took was a pack of gum he had on the dashboard. Cops said, "Typical junkie behavior." Seriously, when they will break into a car for a pack of gum, you gotta wonder...

Smash and grab of luggage or backpacks is very common here, and in touristy areas in Europe also. It takes virtually no time to smash, and grab the luggage and get away. I hope the jerk cut an artery doing it.
