Dear Purse Snatcher,

You are a thievin' piece of crap! I can't believe I'm about to devote an entire post to you, but I have to vent somehow. You see, while my family and I were peacefully sleeping last nite, you cruised around our middle-class subdivision (no doubt with a low life friend or two) and invaded my privacy and my sense of security. You walked up my driveway and broke into my van and not only took my purse but rifled thru the glove box as well.
So while I should have been spending the hour I had in between dropping Austin off at preschool and getting on the bus with my team to Hillsdale having quality girly time with my girls, I instead had to spend it on the phone canceling accounts and calling the police. When the police arrived to take a report they said you got away with over $1500 worth of stuff from my neighbor's garage and car; and that I was the 3rd person to report stolen items on my block this afternoon.
Too bad you didn't know beforehand that I'm dirt a** poor. Too bad you didn't know beforehand that my fabulous Prada bag only looks like the real thing and only contained a beat up cellphone, a coupon holder, various tubes of lip gloss and my super cute Kate Spade wallet. Too bad you didn't know that I don't carry my credit cards anymore so that I won't spend money I don't have. That the only thing of value in my wallet was a lone crumpled $10 bill. I hope you get satisfaction from knowing that that was my birthday money and I was planning on treating my tired out tootsies to a well-deserved pedi.
I am freaking mad at you that I have to drag 3 kids with me to the Secretary of State to renew my now-stolen driver's license. I'm so angry that this picture won't be nearly as good as the last pre-baby tanned face picture I had taken for said license. But man, where's the decency!?! You took my favorite purse! Do you think you could at least have the courtesy of tossing it back on my lawn when you realize you didn't get nothin' from me? Every time I have to flash my driver's license I would be much obliged.

What a piece of crap! That really stinks! Im glad they didn't get much off of you (except your favorite purse). I dont know what id do, or would have the option to do if that happened to me... Good luck in recovering!

Ridiculous! I'm so sorry, that really makes you feel violated, doesn't it?

The new family friendly blog, by the way, is: andymadelynweiss.blogspot.com. With the whole divorce, I've taken over MY blog and turned it into my own little vent fest. (Hence the private status!)

Maria-How awful. I am sorry to hear that happened to you. I am glad to hear that you didn't have much in your purse although, that's not the point. :( I am sorry.
