We got a call that our truck was sitting in a parking lot of a body shop ( owner says it's been there all day and he had no idea who brought it). Dallas police met hubby and an employee over there to retrieve it. They dusted it for prints, and some of the tools were actually still in it. I was hoping we would find the laptop in it too but no such luck, maybe some of the prints will pan out.

One good thing is that they left half of the laptop cord and my laptop battery won't stay charged for very long if it's not plugged in, so I am hoping against hope that it died on them and they are now locked out of it. I'm sad that the only pictures I had from my surrogacies were on it though. My mind is a whirl on where to begin with the accounting, I just don't know where to begin.

Hubby is staying the night over there tonight with his gun because the door people had to order the glass and it won't be fixed til the morning, so right now it's plywood screwed into the metal frame. Even with the alarm, He's afraid they'll come back to finish taking the rest of the tools, and possibly try to take the truck again-they have keys. He has his shotgun and his handgun, and I am hoping and praying he doesn't have to use one.

I really really hate thieves. I don't even feel safe at home right now, even though I am locked tight in my home with my alarm system on, I'm scared, and I hate that feeling.
