I am slightly put out by your actions. I have to spend a few extra hours this week going to the bank,getting new debit cards, license and various other cards.
What did you do with my debit cards? they were blocked so you didn't use them. What did you do with my photo I.D.? sell it to someone who looks like me for a fake I.D.? What did you do with the stamps I was collecting from food lion for a new pan? through them out? How about the card from the consignment store I love that I had been getting stamped and was about to earn 25% off my next order, and my costco card? did they get trashed?
How about my checkbook? is the person who looks like me going to try and use my ID to write fake checks...? my bank is aware of the situation, it won't work. How about my family projected budget that I worked on for hours and hours that has been my family's bible for paying bills and spending money during this tough time? did that get trashed?
And what about my temple recommend? You are welcome to try and use it, but I am pretty sure you won't like being there and will just leave.
When you try and steal someone else's life, what do you get for it? $20 for my I.D.? and a $5 wallet with a broken snap?
I'll tell you what else you get...you get one more little pebble of guilt put on your back to carry around. I am sure that doesn't matter to you now, but it will at some point. You see, we all wrong people in our lives. Everyone of us, yes, even those you steal from. That doesn't make you justified in what you are doing. The idea is that as we go through this journey of life we learn to feel bad for the things we have done, and hopefully one day we get to a point where we can do more to lift human spirits than to bring them down. Right now, you don't care what you are doing to disrupt people's lives. But one day you will, so I want you to know, that when that day comes, and you feel bad for disrupting so many people's lives, that I forgive you and view this as nothing more than a bit of an annoyance. You have also reminded me that as much as I love people, I still need to use caution when dealing with them.

You know my name, my birthdate and my checking account number.
P.S. did you really need to take the separate wallet that contained health insurance cards for 6 people, library cards for myself and 3 kids, community center cards for myself and 3 kids, and all 4 of my grocery store savings cards.
What did you do with all that except make my life that much more complicated?

Sorry you had you wallet taken. Well written blog though.
Oh that sucks... I am so sorry. :( Where did it happen?
That really stinks!!! However, you should assume that you look very "high society" for someone to suspect that you've got a lot of cash. As for me, I always think I've lost my wallet and then find it somewhere silly. Here is hoping that it turns up in a few days.
It does stink, it happened at the ice rink on saturday night. Trust me Denise, we definately did NOT look high society. We had all our kids in the busted up, mismatched hubcap havin', one windshield wiper workin',scratched up paint lookin, nasty smellin', 9 year old minivan with jacked up license plates! I did not know that Dale's remote lock thing doesn't work, so he didn't lock the car. He didn't know I left my purse in the car, so some smart person just had to check all the cars in the parking lot before they got to mine. unlucky break for them, I rarely carry cash, and if I do it's a few dollars. After this I will never carry my checkbook in my purse again..that was the biggest hassel.
I'm so sorry. Did you look in nearby trash cans? Sometimes the slime balls just pitch it there after getting all of the cash. I'll help if you need it. Did you contact the police?
That's crappy Tammy. But you wrote about it so nicely.
Wow Tammy.....that was way fun to read. I have never found losing a wallet more amusing than now. Sorry abt ur wallet, loved the post!
