So my 17 yr old tells me the other day that he can't find his wallet or cell phone. I am really irritated by this. He just got his license in July and has already had 3.
We are in a tight budget in this house. I never splurge on things. For his b-day in Dec. I bought him a new cell phone. He and his brothers had always shared. My oldest is in college this year so I got him his own leaving the old phone to be shared by my 2 youngest. He deserved it. He never asks for anything. Just so happens that we were down south for spring break. He left his charger in his brother's dorm. Since his battery was dead he had put the sim in his old phone and was waiting for his bro to mail the charger. This is the only time since he got the really nice, expensive phone that it has basically not been on his person. It was in his car.
What happens? Some loser goes into his car at school and takes them. Yes his car was unlocked. If you lock it and the windows are broken... well I don't have to explain this. The kids for the most part don't lock their cars. We have a police officer patrolling the school. At first we didn't think this is what happened but.... I just got off the phone with my ex. He had given our son a bank card for emergencies and gas and stuff. It would seem that in less than 40 mins a couple thousand dollars were charged to it. Tomorrow the bank expects to be able to give him a list of all the places it was used. Right now he just has the amounts of the purchases.
So tomorrow I will go fill out a police report. In the meantime here I sit scared to fucking death. They took his wallet. They have his drivers license. They have our address. Every sound that I hear outside is a potential bad person. It completely sucks that some loser can take away my feeling of being safe in my own home.
