Car Theft

Christina’s car was broken in to tonight while she was at the gym. The only thing the perp took was her purse of course. We’ve been scrambling to cancel all of the bank/credit cards that she was carrying, but of course identity theft will be a big concern for the two of us. Tomorrow we are going to the bank to change the actual account numbers on our checking and savings accounts so that someone can’t try to transfer money around.
Outside of the violation, the huge inconvenience of changing all of the cards, the worries of identity theft, it’s the personal items we all carry on a daily basis that come as the biggest loss. In Christina’s case it was her new purse that I gave her for Christmas (easy to replace thankfully), her sunglasses and glasses both with prescription lenses, and the biggest loss… the sample of her wedding dress that she has been carrying around since September.
I think it will take a couple of days for the full effect of this to sink in. We are just trying to react as quickly as possible to prevent more damage.
