Blasted Thievery

So last night, my car was broken into and my wallet was stolen. I know!!! I know!!! Why did I leave my wallet in my car? I promise you, I NEVER do that here. Especially since the first day I moved in to my apartment, someone riffled through my car. Good thing there was nothing in it. From that day on, I have never left anything of value in there...except for my ice/snow scraper. Why couldn't they have taken that??? Or the trash on my floor???

I usually ALWAYS have my wallet in my backpack, where it is nice and safe. But I took it out to drive to church on Sunday. And I totally spaced about it afterwards. I mean....it's always in my backpack, so I didn't even remember that I had taken it out. The unfortunate thing about this incident is that my car doors don't unlock with my keys. So I can't lock them. It makes my car a prime target. That's the main reason I never leave anything in there. It figures that the one time I do, it happens. There must have been a huge neon sign on the roof of my car that was flashing WALLET INSIDE!!! DOORS UNLOCKED!!!! with big arrows pointing to it. What kind of a neighboorhood do I live in? I've known it was a ghetto place from the first day, but this just underscores the point. I'm so glad I'm moving out!

I feel incredibly violated. Someone who doesn't deserve to know anything about me at all, now knows a whole lot of personal and important things. I've spent the day cancelling credit cards and trying to figure out how I'm going to get an ID fast enough to make my flight to Utah for Spring Break on Monday. I'm hoping IU with come through and replace my ID card without needing a picture ID. I just realized how difficult life can be without some form of ID. No drivers license, no school ID, no bank cards. My passport is expired, so it's not like an airport would accept that without some other form of ID. My social security card was in there, my insurance cards. Ugghh....the thought of all the bad things someone could do to me really makes me angry and worried. I'm paranoid about identity theft. Now it's worse.

Out of all the things in my wallet, the one thing that I am most angry about having stolen is my temple recommend. It's probably the easiest to replace, but it of course has the most meaning.

Argg.....

Now I have to try to focus on finishing a paper for my midterm tomorrow and studying for a stats test, also tomorrow. Yeah right.
