So get this....2 detectives stopped by my house on Thursday to gather more info about the crime. Apparently, the thief got out of jail on home arrest, BUT, they don't put the ankle bracelets on at the jail. Instead -- the criminal is responsible for going and getting it put on -- HELLO??!! Anyone see a problem w/ this system??! So of course, he just blew it off and went right back to stealing and robbing -- so a warrant was out for his arrest due to the bracelet and then he was caught thieving. The officer said the upside of this is bc he committed a felony while on release, he will now for sure do significant time - so that's good. But seriously, wow. What an awful person.

Well, the insurance company cashed out my car on Monday since it was never found. It was an okay/fair settlement. We were hemming and hawing over what car to get next...were caught btwn getting brand new, vs used. In the end, we decided to get my all time fave car in the world - the older, more classic body-style Land Rover Discovery!! Woo hoo! It's always been my favorite car, but I've never owned one bc I always went more practical...but we thought, why not? It's older, it has a lot of miles, it could come w/ problems...but we went for it nonetheless. And, I still have money left over from the buy-out in case anything goes wrong w/ my new classic toy. Attaching a couple piccies....isn't she kinda fun!!??
