Update: Theft

[ste_noni]

Joe went to talk to the neighbor who was totally mortified about the theft. He talked to his daughter who called around and someone ID'd the thief. The neighbor went to the thief's house and got back everything (minus the back of the Treo). Of course, we had already canceled everything, but that can be remedied pretty quickly. JOe had already ordered a new phone and I think we will go ahead and keep that and maybe sell the Treo once we find a replacement backplate.

I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with our neighbor. People here can be very self-oriented and I'm impressed he took the time to track this down and get everything back.

You know, that really is impressive. We've been watching our very upscale part of San Francisco go slowly downhill, and the city itself has been hit with a huge upsurge in smash-and-grab car thefts; we've had to replace the Camry's window, and my mother in law just had hers broken into as well.

Nice having a neighbour who, having screwed up, will do something to remedy it.

Wow, Steph, that's really great. I'm glad to hear that you got almost everything back.

Oh, wow, that's pretty impressive (though sad that someone can ID who the thief is--I mean, really. Friends with someone who steals shit out of someone's car? WTF?). Yay for getting stuff back.

Well that's great! I'm glad your neighbor stepped up and tracked down the thief and got Joe's stuff back.
