Walking on Broken Glass

Happy Sunday!  Happy beginning of the week!  Happy end to the weekend!  Okay, that one didn't work.

We've had a strange few days.  Sir Steven had a soccer game Thursday evening.  After these games, the team meets at the bar to discuss how great they were.  This particular evening, I stayed in and chilled with Rockett and the cats.

About 10:00, Sir calls me to inform me that someone had broken into his car while he was at the bar.  Whoever broke in stole his soccer bag, which was on the front seat of the car.  The thief made away with sweaty stinky shin pads, soccer gloves, smelly shoes and Sir's wallet.  Luckily, Sir had his debit card with him, so we didn't have to worry about canceling any credit cards.  He'll have to replace everything, which comes in just under that $500 deductible we have on the car...




The thief broke the passenger side window to get into the car.  In  South Carolina, if you carry comp/collision on your vehicle, then glass replacement has no deductible.  So, really, we were very lucky.  There was minimal damage to the car, and it's already repaired.  Now Sir spends the next week replacing his license, soccer gear,and all those reward cards for restaurants and gas stations!



Whoever did this had to be pretty ballsy, as the car was in a well lit area just off a main road.  I feel bad that we live in a world where people are that desperate, needy, or just that jaded.  I wonder if we're going to see someone walking around Charleston in Steven's soccer gear? 

**********

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there.  Since day one of my life, I've had great fathers in it.  My kids have great fathers.  My brothers are great fathers.  Sir is a great father to the animals.  But it all started with this handsome fella, I love and miss you Dad.

Oh, what a bummer...when we lived in L.A., our cars got broken into all the time, for the stereos; I guess there was an endless demand for cheap cassette players. No matter what, you feel violated. Ugh.

And I love the photo of your dad...I'm sure he's smiling down on you. I'm sure he reads your blog up in heaven. I'm missing mine today--this is only my third Father's Day without him {sniff}.

Stinks to hear that someone broke into Sirs car...hope they are enjoying the gifts that they got!

I can just imaine their faces when they opened the bag and found much to their surprise smelly soccer clothes! Will keep an eye and nose out on this side of town for
people that don't play soccer wearing smelly soccer clothes!

Great pic of your dad!

Hate that! And who ever did that was ballsy. Smash and grabs of cars are really easy. My daughter learned not to leave her computer BAG visible. She has to visit different commercial places for their displays of her company's product. It happened in broad daylight in plain view.

Still a bummer. Tell Sir I am sorry for all the things he has to replace!
