Did I mention how much I hate this city?

[gridlockjoe]

It started out as such an ordinary day.

Then I got to my car at 8:15 and found that it had been broken into overnight.

Missing are some CDs (mostly homemade, which I can remake, no problem) and my GPS unit.

No damage to the car.

Major damage to my well-being.

Am waiting on a call back from the police, who will take my report.

Could use a hug.

Am looking askance at our gated community with 24-hour manned gate and video surveillance.

Edit: And I don't really hate Houston... any more than any other native Dallasite. ;)

Can you find a job in Dallas and move back?

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

As of September I'll have 20 years seniority here, and I'm really loath to give that up. But anything is possible...

Burglars suck big time! :(

Offhand I can't think of any of the CDs that were rare or hard to find -- except one, and I've already ordered a replacement from Amazon.

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

Let's do it! And we can call it Jaynestown!

[lil-ms-drama.livejournal.com]

LOL.

I so should not get that.

[amalthia]

hugs and I'm so sorry your car was broken into. :(

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) I'll get through it. Stuff can be replaced.

::hugs:: that sucks. my dad's car was broken into a few years ago, so I know how you feel.

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm just disheartened. I chose the condo complex I did because it was so safe (only 1 police call in the previous year).

*great big hugs*

Don't suppose that GPS unit can be traced?

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

I have a half day at work today, so I will dig up the serial number, let the police know, and start scouring the pawn shops.

[ladycrim.livejournal.com]

That works as well, but I was thinking more that if it was on, it might be traceable by beacon.

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

They don't transmit a signal. 'Tis only a receiver.

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

P.S. I agree with your icon.

Where shall we go?

[ladycrim.livejournal.com]

Wineb Scollars at Second City?

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

It's a date!

[lil-ms-drama.livejournal.com]

I wanna join in!

[lil-ms-drama.livejournal.com]

I should say it's been over 7 years since I've been at Second City Chicago, so I'd love to join you very much.

{{{hug}}}

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Jo. :)

I'm getting over my initial shell-shockedness, and am now more or less resigned to the work of maybe getting my stuff back.

With 23 comments already, I'm sure you could still use one more

[lil-ms-drama.livejournal.com]

((((hugs))))

[kezzamorphosis.livejournal.com]

Major hugs, Joz.

I'd be looking at the security guys pretty askance myself.

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

They have not gotten their usual wave and smile from me today.

Incidentally, I talked to the complex manager, and she told me they have a couple of very good leads that they're pursuing with HPD.

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

...and that two other vehicles were broken into last night.

[dsch.livejournal.com]

Oh CRAP.
It's really awful to know people can be that desperate and malicious.
I hope they catch those twerps soon.

*hugs*
