The mighty Hyundai feels the wrath of thieves!!!
Well well well,
What a crap night I had last night. On the way home battling freeway traffic the girlfriend and I decided to stop for food at a fast food joint.... We headed down Canning Hwy to the Hungry Jack's and had dinner....
... Well, the next thing that happened suprised the hell outta me, as we were walking back to the car a nice lady ran upto us and said "Is this your car ?" we were like "Ummm, Yeah, why?" she then informed us that she saw someone smash the passenger window, reach in and grab a bag and then take off in a dark coloured car....(luckily she got the rego!) My girlfriend drives a stock-as-a-rock Accent btw... nothing to attract attention to it at all!
Thieves had jammed a screwdriver of some kind into the bottom of the the window and levered it up until the window shattered into a million pieces, glass was everywhere dammit!
Thinking my gf's bag was stolen from the front seat I thought "oh crap" then I realised she took it into HJ's with us, however my bag was on the back seat and they took it! Bastards!
In the bag was my work diary/book, Taxation forms, Finance crap, Insurance crap, some very important CDs with backup data etc, my Quicksilver jacket, and the bag was a Rip Curl one too. just to put icing on the cake..
So we called the police and told them everything, then we call the insurance company and book the car in to get it fixed the next day (today).... okay, so we drop off the car this morning to the smash repairs and I drove my girlfriend to work, as now she wont have a car for the next few days and has to pay her insurance excess too!
On the way to work I get a call from a man who went on his morning walk all the way out Embleton-way (the stuff was stolen in South Perth!) who said he'd found my diary, cd's and paperwork on the side of the road.. phew! what a relief!
So in summary: There are some mighty nice people around like the lady that tracked us down and gave us the rego, and the man who found my stuff and called me.... it honestly suprises me that people did that for a complete stranger, i guess we were just lucky.
However this still doesn't bring back my $180 jacket and $80 bag.... but still.. at least I got my paperwork back!
Okay, so that's my rant for this morning
