Security?
Yet another reminder of how fragile life is and how anything can occur in the blink of an eye. This last week was pretty full of activities and so many things. Let me go just to the weekend. Friday I went to Bernie and Jamie's wedding reception. It's always good to see everyone and participate in all the activities. Unfortunately for me, as the evening went on, I heard some boys playing basketball outside. So Shelton and I went over and starting playing with them. I proceeded to turn my ankle and get a nice fat bruised ankle. This plays in for the following day.
On Saturday Kevin turned the big 3-0 and the plan was to get in both skiing and wakeboarding in the same day (a-la California and in celebration of the 30th). Kev called me in the morning and I decided to opt out of heading up to Tahoe mainly due to the fact that my ankle was about twice as big and it was throbbing like there was no tomorrow (not to mention the fact that I think I had just crawled into bed following the reception). I told kev I'd get the boat ready to go and fueled up ready for the return. So I headed out on the river and hung out in the sun for a while. =) We wakeboarded in the chilly Sacramento River waters and planned to go out to grab a bite to eat just as the sun was going down. Kev and I dropped everyone off at Chevy's on the River and took the boat back to the Marina. We drove over and met everyone for some food. When we finished up we went back to the cars and I heard Shelton say -- 'Someone broke into my car'. The initial reaction is like really?! No way...! So we went over and checked it out. Yep, someone smashed the rear passenger window and threw some objects down the levee. Then a couple seconds later kev says the same thing -- 'Someone broke into mine too'. Yep, as we proceeded to look down the row of cars we could see that there were at least two others where there was glass on the ground -- not cool, what dorks.
From what we could make out this looked like a quick hit and run. There was not a lot of stuff missing, just a couple things. Kev lost the company gas card and from Sheltons car, my backpack was taken, in it camera, ipod, and wetsuit. That sucks!!
I always try to be aware of stuff like that and leaving things in the car, but sometimes this crap happens. Serious bummer, and it just takes a little bit of any sense of security that we may think we have. Anyway thought I'd share some of the story here with you as a reminder...
