A bad day for my sister.......

[Laura's Babies]

Years ago, I worked 2 jobs for 2 years so that I could get a newer car. Soon as I got it, some idiot broke into it and stole the speakers and tried to steal the radio but I think they got interupted because they only got as far as pulling the knobs off of it. I was SO mad that if I had got my hands on whoever it was, I would have beaten them to a pulp!! I was so furious that I could have killed them and not blinked an eye doing it.. I worked for TWO years and some lazy so and so to lazy to work for what they want tried to steal what I'd worked for?? The policeman that wrote up that report begged me if I found out who did it to call THEM and not try to handle it myself... Ha!

I hate a thief more than anything! If I see something you have that I want, I WORK so I can buy my own! I would have reacted the same way your sister did though. Here in the TV news they had a thing about this time of the year and not to even carry a purse. Put things in your pockets and pay attention to your surroundings when outside and always be alert. They said they target people because they ARE targets, walk alert, looking around, with no purse and you are less a target.

It is a sad world Carole. I'm glad your sister wasn't too badly hurt (broken bones or dead), but I'm sure she's terribly shaken up over it all. No one needs their life jeopardized like that! I gave up carrying pocketbooks many years ago. I carry what I need in my pockets, and that's it. Too many purse snatchers around here to risk it. Hope sis's sprain heals fast.

That's just horrible! And stuff like this really gets to me. I'm so sorry for your poor sister, Carole. Hope that she gets well soon.

I would have resisted and tryed to fight him off, too! I hope she feels better, and can get back to her job!
