it pours. Pretty simple. It poured on us yesterday.
Our pick up was stolen. Taken for a joyride, and left in a parkinglot to run itself out of gas. They destroyed the doors trying to break in, and they completely destroyed the ignition and steering column while hotwiring it. They trashed everything that was in the pick up. BUT they actually stole nothing other than the truck itself. We were one of
5 - 7 (that I know of that the RCMP told me at that time but it was early in the day) yesterday that had this happen to them. We cant afford to fix it, we cant afford to buy a new one. THIS STINKS!!!!! These vandals/thief's were just out for joyrides and just kept trading off for a different vehicle every so often when they tired of the one they had just stolen!The beggars who stole it wont have to pay..... its us, the victims who pay! HOW UNFAIR IS THAT?? Estimated damage? $2000 or so. Old truck but in excellent condition before this happened but worth fixing? no. Worth selling now? no. ARGH. And worst part is that if it is young offenders (which we think it is, no school yesterday and only one brand of vehicles stolen, the only one they apparently knew how to get into and hotwire) then there aint a damn thing you can do to them. Sue the parents? Ha, fat lot of good that will do. So if they catch them its really not gonna help us much.
When it was found (by my son) it looked so sad :( and the guy that had his truck parked next to where ours was found.......... was filing a report with the RCMP at the scene since his vehicle was no longer parked there, we were actually standing where it used to be. They towed ours to an impound yard to take prints but now MY family must be printed to rule us out. How unfair is that? So my family's prints will be on file and heaven help my children if they touch something that gets stolen/damaged/etc in the future because they have prints on file for MY kids!?
Now aint that a grand way to start a Monday? What is in store for the rest of this week...
~KK in BC~ becoming way beyond frustrated and just a little more than depressed. Thanks for letting me rant.
