I stopped by a bakery in suburban DC, to pick up some dessert, after church, and discovered this..
A break-in — I was only away from the car for 5-7 minutes. No watches involved but three expensive pens were in the tote bag, plus the Bible of my deceased mother, that was stolen. Sad state of affairs. ...
So sorry to see this
Sorry to hear of the items that were stolen too. Very sad state of affairs. I don’t even leave a bag on my seat anymore these days
I’m in complete disbelief! I honestly didn’t think anyone would be so bold as to break a car window like that in broad daylight…
and just for pens and a BIBLE??!! Is the human conscience so dead as to steal a Bible😞. I’m so sorry this happened to you, but I sincerely appreciate you raising awareness.
Ron, very sorry to hear of the loss.
I have learned to NEVER leave a bag exposed in an unoccupied vehicle if at all possible. All it takes is the blink of an eye, the thieves are gone before anyone realzes what just happened. In the trunk, glovebox, under the seat, it goes, or if possible it...
That sucks.
It’s amazing when people act with no conscience or decency. I’ll tell you what they won’t throw away, the pens. As for the Bible, It holds no meaning to them.
Oh, sorry to read this. And sorry that this is where we are again.
These types of incidents have happened in my neighborhood a few times in the last several months. More popular however is stealing wheels. I know of six cars in the last two months in my neighborhood only that have had their wheels stolen. The cars left o...
Sorry to hear…
And most of the time, reporting to police is just pointless. Same thing happened to a friend (in Austin, TX) and the police just said to us there wasn’t much they could do or would do.
So sad to hear this.
Things of sentimental value is emotionally tough to get stolen/loose. The world is a fantastic place - it’s the people living here that’s the problem.
How unfortunate. I'm very sorry and
send you many thoughts of support. Best, Emmanuel
Unbelievable!
The thieves broke in because of a tote bag? They didn't even know what were in there, could be only groceries! Sorry to hear your losses, especially when the pens and bible carry sentimental values.
That is terrible to see and read about
I'm very sorry that this happened to you. It happened to me several years ago and fortunately nothing was taken becasue nothing was in my car at the time but even then I was still extremely upset, so I can only imagine how you're feeling. I hope for the b...
What a horrible experience dear Orahu! I`m sad to read what happened to you. Specially sad to know that your Mother`s Bible was stolen.
I live in a place where these kind of things happen daily regret to say. I send my sympathy for you. Abel
Vengeance belongs to God.
I am most glad you are OK. Most sad / angry about the bible. That will be paid back, rest assured.
Based on my similar experience, the cost of the window might be less than insurance and more than what was stolen
It’s SO aggravating. I’m sorry about your loss. Several cars in our neighborhood got hit a few weeks ago - it’s random and very painful. We always take our camera, wallets, etc. with us when we do our morning walks. I have a few extra Bibles (from my mom)...
Endnote — the police officer who responded to the complaint has reached out to me. They think they have ay least identified the vehicle…
… which they believe to be involved in several thefts from autos that day. I am impressed that they are giving this set of thefts due attention.
With any luck you'll be able to see the thief . . .
. . . have his day in court. I can only imagine the judge's reaction when you testify about your loss. Art
