Karma better be a bitch to a certain someone…
On Monday morning I made a discovery that pretty much soured the entire weekend. Sometime during late Sunday night/early Monday morning, my purse had been stolen.
The car wasn’t broken into. The culprit didn’t have to make that kind of effort. In the craziness that was the weekend, we didn’t put the car in the garage. The hubby had forgotten to lock the vehicle and I had forgotten to bring my purse in the house. We were both completely exhausted as we spent Friday, Saturday, Sunday working our asses off at a feverish pace to get our other house ready to be put on the market.
What sucks is that the scrawny little fuckers (the cops, the hubby and I are pretty sure it was most likely a neighborhood teen) took my favorite purse and the following contents: two camera phones (I had grabbed Marc’s the other day because mine had a low battery), our digital camera, wallet, various credit cards, bank card, favorite Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm, my favorite eye shadow compact, $80 in cash (and usually I NEVER have that kind of cash on me) and my favorite-est photo of Seth evah. Oh and my social security card.
I have a pretty good idea of who probably snatched it. But I can’t prove it at this time. But let me say this: if the pasty little shithead I’m thinking of really did take it, I’m gonna string him up by his teeny, tiny little nuts. (And if the pasty little shithead happens to be reading this, I just want to tell him: that new haircut you got recently? Makes you look like an updated “Blanche” from The Golden Girls. You may think its very “rocker chic” but honestly? That is one prissy, old lady, candy-ass haircut. Plus, if you go for “rocker chic” you need to at least know how to play a damn instrument!)
We will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law — especially if the police end up catching the person we suspect. And if this kid whom we suspect goes to jail, I hope a large, well-hung dude with anger management problems makes this little thief his bitch and treats this kid to donkey punches on a regular basis.
I’m sure that WHEN we’d press charges, this kid’s sue-happy parents would probably stop trying to befriend us. (Aka come over to our house to mooch food, a beer or free babysitting services.) The suspected culprit and his family are the proverbial “turd in the punchbowl” of our happy, fun little neighborhood. So on the other hand, maybe he’s just done me a gigantic favor? Because honestly, I would pay a tidy sum to get him and his family out of our hair.
And if the thief isn’t reading, that’s ok too. Because if he is caught, he will never see it coming.
Now, if you will excuse me. I have to go eat some candy or pop open a bottle of wine. Because every time I think of my purse, that kid or his family? I can feel my blood pressure shoot up like a rocket. And just that in and of itself makes me angry. Because they aren’t worth it.

That’s awful! Do the police think they’re going to be able to catch the theif?
Our house was robbed a few years ago. It was a terrible feeling. I hate that anyone has to deal with such things.

that sucks.. i’m so sorry. maybe you’ll have happen to you what happened to grace- they returned all the stuff in a shoebox!
you should talk to people in your neighborhood and say the police are on it and they know who did it, and they’ll most likely go to jail.. maybe all the stuff will come back?!?!

That totally sucks. Especially with all the stuff in your purse when it was stolen. Ugh.
Have the police said they have a reason to also be suspicious of the kid? I don’t doubt you at all, but I’m just curious if the police are close to being able to successfully resolve the situation for you.
Good luck. Being robbed sucks. We were the victims of a home invasion when I was five (yes, they broke in while we were sleeping, but they didn’t harm anyone in my family, thank God) and it was years before I, even as a kid, felt safe in that house again.

Ugh. That SUCKS. Little fuckers.
String them up. But please, take pics for us

Let’s tie him up and shave his head…lol.
I hope you get your stuff back. Did he use your credit cards?
Sarah on 07 Sep 2006 at 2:25 am #
What a bummer! I’m sorry someone stole your purse; that sucks. I hope you guys catch him and that you get everything back in the condition it left your car. I especially hope that he doesn’t screw with your social security number or your credit cards!
Kristin on 07 Sep 2006 at 3:21 am #
I meant to email you after you commented about this on my blog… I am so sorry!
When it is your cutest purse with your cutest photos, it is doubly sucky.
Don’t worry… karma is a mean and spiteful bitch… someone will PAY!
Mommy off the Record on 07 Sep 2006 at 6:04 am #
Oh no! I am so sorry! I hope you catch whoever did this. And I hope for the sake of pasty boy (and his little balls) that it wasn’t him.

Oh, I’m sorry. That really sucks.
Pattie on 07 Sep 2006 at 1:29 pm #
Lisa, I am so sorry. That just sucks. Especially when you have things that are irreplaceable, like pictures.
I am still trying to get over the donkey punch thing..I learned something new today….may he get his in the end…no pun intended, of course.
Jennifer on 07 Sep 2006 at 2:21 pm #
Ugh. That sucks so much. I hate the feeling of being robbed… like you’ve been violated, personally insulted, on top not having all your shit. And how awful that you had so much great stuff in there.
If you have an idea of who took it, maybe at least the cops will be able to get them if they’re dumb enough to use your credit cards. Is this by any chance the same family you vented about a few months ago, that always sends their kid over with no snacks for hours and hours, with no reciprocation? What a bunch of losers.
Last weekend, when Joel and I were loading the car up for our trip to New Jersey, my loving boyfriend left the car door AND trunk open, and then came in the house for about 10 min. My purse was in the backseat! I almost punched him, but luckily no one stole anything, which is pretty much a miracle around here.
So sorry again. I hope that you catch this little fucker.

Having my purse stolen is one of my greatest fears.
Damn. DAMN. The worst part is that is was probably a neighbor. GRRR…
I agree with the other commenter - start telling the neighbor’s the police are on to who did it.
melissa b. on 07 Sep 2006 at 4:17 pm #
Oh that’s terrible!
Do you want me to beat him up for you? Because I totally would!
quinn on 07 Sep 2006 at 6:09 pm #
That sucks! I hope they catch the thief soon AND recover everything he stole.
wendy boucher on 07 Sep 2006 at 7:57 pm #
That’s the worst. With all your stuff in it too. I’ve lost a purse that I had out with me one night but it only had a few items in it and that was bad enough. I’m feeling for you.

I feel your pain. A few years ago I went home to Canada for Christmas. I went Christmas shopping and then for a run. Because it is really fun to exercise in -40 below. The only people crazy enough to be out were a cute older couple who were sitting in their car watching me.
When I came back, my windows were smashed in, my presents and my wallet were stolen, which also contained my permanent resident card to get back in the U.S. Talk about a nightmare.
The moral of this story? Don’t trust cute little old people.

I second the taking pictures suggestion. But then again I’m all for bringing back hangings in the town square.
Only kidding.
Sort of.
I hope they catch that little sucker. I have also been a victim of thievery of the unlocked car type. Bastards. They never caught the little shits who stole from me so I sincerely hope they catch your’s.

Hey,
I read your comments about mean moms on the blog about not breastfeeding, tv, and crying it out. Sorry, I can’t remember which blog it was, but when I read your comment about a difficult child and speech and OT, I had to ask, what happened? My son, 4 1/2 is kind of difficult, and has some “borderline” speech and OT issues. Anything you could tell me about your experience would be sooo appreciated. My blog is jillypoet.blogspot.com my email is jillypoet@verizon.net
Thanks!

I’m sorry. That really sucks.
I’m assuming you know this already, but be sure to check all your credit card accounts (call to cancel them, and have replacements sent out) and check your credit report now, and probably in another 6 months or so to make sure no one’s opened any accounts in your name. With your id and social security card they can do all sorts of stuff, unfortunately. And in the future never carry your SScard along with your wallet.
Hope they find who it is and you can get some of your stuff back! I definitely like the idea of talking to everyone about the police knowing who it is.. the guilty party may be shamed into anonymously leaving everything at your doorstep.

ooooo…I hope they get the little f#*ker! I had my purse stolen and it wasn’t the money or cards that upset me, it was the photos, wallet K bought me, and my favorite shade of lipstick that really pissed me off. If they don’t catch the guy, something will get him sometime.
carrie on 08 Sep 2006 at 7:52 am #
How do theives *know* when we leave the purse in the car, have extra cash and carry our ss cards? Must be some kind of geeky thief homing device. Anyway, I am so sorry that happened. I am chanting right now for the karma to come out and kick this little prick’s ass!

That sucks.
My sister left her purse in her car overnight and someone broke her car window to get it out.
The cops suspected it was some teenagers since the only thing taken was some cash and her purse was found in some lady’s back yard.
At least your car was unlocked and they didn’t break any windows.
Rude Cactus on 08 Sep 2006 at 4:24 pm #
Well, that blows. Hope you get the little bastard!;-)
Becky on 08 Sep 2006 at 4:55 pm #
what a little shit. i’m so sorry!
Heidi on 11 Sep 2006 at 1:40 am #
Damn it. That totally sucks. I hope they bust someone’s ass.
Virginia Belle on 12 Sep 2006 at 3:25 pm #
shit dude. i am so sorry to read this. i had my purse stolen once in high school. lucky for me, there wasn’t anything in it. other than something my grandma had given me before she died!!!!
it is the worst feeling ever. i am so sorry. i hope things work out. i hope you cancelled everything before he did any damage.
if it makes you feel any better, i am picturing the little punk being strung up by his nards and spun around repeatedly.
oh, and i need you to send me your email address. i have something to send you….so email me.

If it is the person you think it is, it sounds like karma already hit him on the head (literally) with a loser haircut.
But it’s a shame that you have to be on the lookout in your own neighborhood! I hope you get your stuff back.
