Irritating

So, last night our next door neighbor's 20-something kid had a big party. No coincidentally, this morning, Joe's wallet, Blackberry, Treo, and digital camera were all gone form his car. Yeah, he didn't lock it, because he's just that way (although I locked my car specifically when I saw all the kids hanging outside the front of the house). We found Joe's business card and a few other things form his wallet, as well as someone else's wallet, and a smashed cellphone (but not one of Joe's) outside along the street.

I've already canceled the cards and phones and Joe had maybe $5 in his wallet, but it will be a big pain getting a new military ID and his FL driver's license.

Merry Christmas and nice to know our neighbors have such classy friends.

Update: Theft

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.
