The Window

Yesterday Ken and I celebrated our Christmas. I have to work today he works tomorrow, and Tuesday I leave for Vancouver. So yesterday was the perfect day for us to open our presents from each other and have Christmas breakfast. Friday night we opened one present, went to sleep and in the morning opened the other one's. I have a very sweet husband and absolutely loved all of my gifts this year especially the massager for my feet. They tend to be achy these days. After we opened our presents Ken was going to go get some milk for our big breakfast. It seemed like he had been gone a minute when I heard him coming back up stairs. He was not happy with what he found and I didn't really believe him at first because I didn't think it would happen. We live in a gated apartment complex, and there are cameras when you come in, we thought it was a fairly safe place because of these things. There is even a night watchmen that does a nightly patrol around the complex. All of these things were the reason we moved in.

This is what we found.
This situation is really sad, however after we surveyed the car the only thing missing was our GPS. Which we are thankful about because since we had gone shopping the night before I had stuck my wallet under the passenger seat. It was still there. The change was still there, Ken's CD's were still there. The GPS was the only thing they were after.

We went and spoke to the apartment management after getting some plastic to get the window taped up. There were about 6 cars hit last night. With each car the only thing stolen was the GPS. One car was in direct view of a camera so hopefully the thief was caught on camera and some sort of justice will be brought down.

We have insurance but our deductible is $500 so we will just basically be paying for the window ourselves which stinks but at the same time we are in a position where we can afford it, if this had happened in the past we would not have been able to take care of it. It does cut into our vacation money but we are all done with our Christmas shopping so we will just have to cancel some of our plans we wanted to do. I'm so thankful it was the drivers side window, not the windshield (would have cost a lot more.) I'm thankful the GPS was all that was stolen, I'm thankful we can afford to get it taken care of. It makes me sad that this happened, I wish things were better for other people to make them not have to resort to things like this. But I am thankful for the many things we have, our health, our baby's health and the so many positives to this situation.
