Who ever it was, it doesn't look like they got anything. We don't keep valuables in the car. The glove compartments contents were all over the front seats. And some bank reciepts were on the floor.
And now it looks like the moron left one of their gloves in my wifes van.
AND just a few minutes ago, my wife saw someone pull into our driveway, start to open their door, then quickly shut their door and took off. They probably realized they left their glove and came back to get it. I'd bet it was the person going around checking out peoples cars for money or perscription drugs.
We live in a very quiet, decent community where crime is not that common. Last time my home was broken into was when I was a kid 34 years ago. Some neighborhood kids broke into my parents house and stole what they could to support their drug habit.
I feel violated. And pissed! We just got a call from the officer, someone else in the neighborhood had their car broken into last night as well. They are going to stop by and pick up the glove. This is probably not a random incident and is probably someone on meth looking for anything they can get to support their habit. I am sure there will be more of this. Now I am worried for my families safety. If they are willing to break into cars while you are home, what's to stop them from taking the next step and breaking into the house when we are home? Nothing.
Lessons that I am learning...
1) I know what it feels like to have someone have no respect for you or your property. And what it must feel like when a house gets broken into.
Our cars are parked 40 feet from our bedroom windows.
2) Criminals are stupid and it there's going to be hell to pay if this/these people try to move to the next step. Looks like I'll be packing 24/7 from now on.
3) You never think something is going to happen to you.
I hope they catch this asshole.
