Yesterday, a very good friend of mine (possibly named later, if it's okay with her) went to the church where she works at 4:00 p.m. in a populated area of Beaumont's west end to pop in and out and get something she needed.before running errands for her job.
While
she was inside, someone broke the back window on her car and stole her
purse. She forgot she had the church
credit card and, by the time she canceled it, the bastards had charged things in Winnie,
Baytown and Houston. She saw TWO
Suburbans leaving the church parking lot when she came out and they went toward
the highway.
I'm thankful that the criminals chose my friend randomly and hadn't been watching her waiting for the perfect opportunity to rob her, but I'm also angry that these Houston SOBs are targeting our Beaumont mothers. The police told my friend that these guys target mothers at day care centers (there is a school and day care at the church), because they know the moms are busy, frazzled, have their hands full and leave their purses in the car.
Saturday night, I prayed that these particular friends would make it home from the big Halloween celebration downtown unscathed. In my weird brain, I'm picturing The Universe saying, "Okay, safe they shall be Saturday, but Monday we still need that purse."
Thank you God for keeping them safe. Everybody else, be careful out there and lock your purse in the trunk before you leave work to pick up your kids.
Bastards, who stole the purse...
Karma.
That's all.
Just...karma.
PS: People send out goofy ass e-mails about needles in gas pump hoses and poison on the back of business cards, but nobody forwards e-mails about the real stuff. Please tell your friends about this.

This is getting to be an every day happening. I no longer trust anyone. I never leave my car unlocked and leave nothing of value in it. My husband put specialy "cages" over the windows of his work van. He hasn't had a problem, so far knowck on wood. Several of the guys he works with have had theirs broken into and stuff stolen. I agree Bastartds. I hope your friend is ok.
so far, we've been lucky, and it helps to be able to park in a garage, but even taking your purse on the bus is turning into a nightmare....
