This past weekend Cory and I went over to the west side of the state for a big river tubing party with a bunch of our friends from school. We car pooled with a couple of other people who live in the Detroit area to help save on gas. Cory and I both left our cars in a park and ride just down the street from where he works, hopped into our friends car and were on our way. We had a blast! Friday night everybody hung out and then Saturday we went out to breakfast at the ONLY restaurant in town, Bob Evens. After that we all went back to the house to get ready to leave. We got picked up by a bus from the tube rental place got to the river and rode down. I think the trip took about 3 hours do get to the pick up station. Once we were there the bus picked us back up and brought us back to the house that everyone was staying at. When we got back we cooked out and then hung out for the rest of the evening. Sunday everybody packed up and headed in our own directions again. It was pretty nice car pooling because that meant that I didn't have to drive and I could sleep the entire was home. It was nice.
Well it was nice. Right before we pulled into the park and ride I was joking around about hoping that both cars were still there and hadn't been stolen. What was supposed to be a joke turned out to be not so funny. Somebody smashed out one of my windows and stole some stuff out of my car. They got away with about $70 Canadian cash and some pampered chef stuff that I had in my car. I'm pretty sure there was nothing else in the box besides that...there might have been a couple of little things but nothing I can think of off the top of my head.
After waiting an hour and a half for the police to arrive, we were finally able to file the report and let them know what happened. Apparently that park and ride gets hit all the time, which surprised us because while we were waiting we had to of seen 20 people going in and out of it getting dropped off or picked up. The Cops said that because it was only a total of $170(ish) lost that there is nothing really that they can do about it. If they had stolen a larger amount in value then they could. Also, because the window is only going to be $190 to fix insurance wont cover it because the deductible is more than that. So including what we lost to the river on our trip (Corys native sunglasses and my crocs) we are out a total of about $450 in two days. Awesome. Well, at least we had fun.

I must say that losing the crocs isn't really a bad thing...
Ohhhh! What Pampered Chef stuff did you loose? I can order you more, on me, if it's not too much.
Hey! my crocs where comfy! and the float in water...unfortunately I left them on a beach. umm pampered chef stuff...I know that there was a can opener, a opener dooy magnetic thing thats red, and some small wooden spoons and baggy clips, and a stoneware thingamajigger (it was circular) and a couple of other small things that I know were in there but I can't think off the top of my head what was in there. It was a box full of stuff. ya and I'm pretty great at the technical terms I know :)
Hmmmm. Let's think Christmas for replacements then. That's probably everything I'd given you for your high school graduation or something. I can't remember now.
Gosh...it 'taint good when your fun get dampen by some loser! But....I'm not much on Crocs either...what color were they?
There are people who watch for people like you to rob. I have known someone else that had that happen in Florida and were told that. They also watch for when guards if any leave for a few minutes and hit the cars them.
