Thank Goodness For Police!!

Let me just say that I am the first to complain about cops, but NOT ANYMORE! I had a little traumatic experience on Wednesday night. I was leaving work about 7:15 and besides my manager I was the last one to leave, I was in the parking lot by myself. I noticed that something was weird with my car, all my doors were open. I just thought well that's kinda odd, and I see this note on my car, I just figured that it was from Dan, because he always leaves notes on my car. OH wait no its THE POLICE!! SOMEONE BROKE INTO MY CAR! the note on my car said this. "Your Vehicle was broken into please contact the Rexburg police department and ask for the detective!" the first thing I did was go through my purse, duh lesli I left my purse, paycheck, I-pod everything just laying there. I was bawling at this point. All my cards were taken out of my wallet, and my car was rummaged through, all the little department holes were open and papers everywhere! The worst part was that no one was answering their phones. I called my dad I could barley leave a message because I was so scared and crying so hard. Dan's phone wasn't by him and everyone else I just got their voice mail. I was a mess! I finally got a hold of Dan, and we try calling the police department because we were confused at why they would leave a note on my car, we thought maybe it was a set up by the police doing a demo to start locking your cars. but that made no sense, All night I tossed and turned because I was so scared and nervous that my identity would be stolen. The weird thing was, was that I didn't see anything missing. I had my credit card in my back pocket, and everything else was still in there, just everything was gone through. No other credit cards were taken, no change, nothing. My social security card was in my wallet I thought for sure he got that. HA HA I was so worried about that. I was so nervous and scared! the next day I get a hold of the detective which was officer stubbs from my old high school so he was really helpful to me. He told me that a guy was waiting for his wife in the Porter's parking lot, and noticed this kid trying to get into all these cars. So he called the police, officer stubbs came and watched him, and arrested him. The kid confessed to breaking into my car, so that's how the police knew to leave a note. The funny thing is, was that me and my friend Aubs saw him get arrested, inside of Porters, but we were just like DRUG BUST. joking around we didn't think anything of it. I had to go to the police station and I didn't even notice but the kid had stolen my I-pod and I-Trip. I was so relieved to here that the kid was caught, who ended up being only 13. I felt bad because when I went to the police station the kids mom was in there. and she was so sad and apologetic. I said it really was OK, and no harm was done. I didn't know what else to say. what do you tell a mother who's son broke into your car? It was crazy. I was very lucky, my I-Pod and everything is still at the Police station for Evidence purposes I guess. I still get all iterated though knowing that some stranger went through my purse and my personal things. I am so grateful for the Police department and taking action! ah I don't think I can have a bad attitude towards them ever again. I definitely have learned my lesson! I will never go anywhere without locking my car ever again!!

That is the craziest thing I have ever heard, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading that. What are the odds? Way to go officer Stubbs! That's awesome you got everything and that you are okay, I was getting nervous.

holy crap Les. That is crazy. In little Rexburg. My view has changed a little on cops too. After Todd and I called on a wife beater that we could hear beating up his wife and they arrested him after breaking down his door. It was intense. I'm glad you got your Ipod back, is it still the little pink one with candy shop on it? Remember jammin out on our matching ipods for 34234 hours on our way to Branson
