Sure glad these guys were just car thieves and didn't try to get into your home!!! That's so frightening to think they were only yards from you as you innocently slept - and thankfully they got the car and purse and just left. Still, be vigilant - cops told my sister after a jewel robbery that thieves will often return within 2 - 4 weeks for a second go around, just about the time people start to let their guard down and about the time many victims have replaced the stolen things or bought themselves something really special as a way of feeling better after a robbery!
I can't imagine how you felt when you discovered your whole car was gone! I sure hope they find your car quickly, as long as it's not damaged, or never find it, whichever would benefit you most. Try to stay strong and don't forget - be on the lookout for people lurking about or parked down the street for the next few months. |
No, our doggies didn't hear a thing -- we sleep w/ a loud white noise machine bc we're both such terrible sleepers, so it would drown out all but a very loud noise and/or our ADT house alarm. Our garage door isn't connected to the ADT system (the house access garage door is, of course) so it doesn't set anything off.
I totally hear you about being the lookout - I feel like they could come back, ya know? Such an odd feeling.

Glad you have a rental now that will at least give you the freedom you need.
Did the police look for fingerprints, this probably was not the first time, I suppose they just jumped in the car and took off so there wouldn't be much in the way of fingerprints. Hope they took it for a ride and left it somewhere however it's your purse I'm more concerned about.
Oh dear, why do such bad things happen to such good people? |
Yes, the police dusted my husband's passenger car door handle bc it was only "soft closed" - so it appears they opened my husband's car door and then just softly closed it to not make noise. So, we'll see if that turns anything up.
Thanks everyone, for your kind words -- it's made me feel better, and I'm also surprised how many others have also gone through it, wow!
