Lessons in Life

Lesson for this week: Do not leave your garage door open.

A week and a half ago Jesse came back in the house after walking out the door to leave for work and said that he had left the garage door open the previous night and someone had come in and taken some of our stuff. It was one of the worst feelings, to know that someone had been inside my space and taken my things. I felt so violated. They took both of my strollers (including my BOB), an iPod, some gift cards and my sunglasses. Even though I filed a police report I still felt pretty helpless, especially considering the fact that the officer told me he had never heard of a stroller being stolen. He said the thief probably wanted it for him/herself and that I would never see it again.

Lesson about Michelle: I love detective television shows.

Later that day I started calling some pawn shops and asking if they sold strollers. I quickly found out that pawn shops will not buy strollers and they suggested I call Kid to Kid. I thought it was worth a shot. I called the closest Kid to Kid and what do you know? They bought 2 strollers that day from the same person matching my strollers. It even had the linky-doo still attached to the handle that I used for Scout's leash!

Now the waiting game. Once a detective is assigned my case I should get my strollers back. Seems like they should just hire me.
