Is there such thing as a polite thief???

Maybe.

today we went to the river with the girls. we only had 30min so we locked up our car and headed down...it was SO much fun...the girls LOVED it...there was a wading pool area and Megan and Erika were seriously in heaven! I really want to go back on thursday.

Well...we got back up to the car and lo and behold...broken glass everywhere! they smashed our window..i guess in hopes of finding something? did they not get an idea from the 3 slurpee cups and 2 carseats that we were not the type of family to have anything valuable they would want?. ugh.

the POLITE part was that they smashed the corner window beside erikas back seat window...we were thankful they didn't smash the big window. Thanks guys!;)

anyway...we sat there picking glass out of erika's carseat before we could load up and go home.

Steve's solution: Castrate them!

This is his solution for EVERY crime mind you...he's a LITTLE harsh I tell him...but when the crime is fresh, there is no convincing him otherwise lol.

nothing like an adventurous day.

p.s we've lost count how many times our car has been broken into and stolen since we've been married....it's like we have a thief magnet on our car....or perhaps its the "Toyota" decal?....hmm.

Oh I am so sorry!!! That really is the WORST feeling knowing that a stranger has been touching your stuff. I have to agree with Steve on this one though...castration is a sure way to teach them a lesson!

That is awful! When my car was broken into I felt so violated. Did they even take anything? And I think Steve is right - maybe if the punishment was actually harsher people would stop being jerks and leave other people's stuff alone.

Oh no!!! How awful! Did they take anything? What river did you go to so I know not to go there! So sorry Nicole!

haha - i love that you are finding the positive and thanking your little thief for knocking out the little window! the river sounds like the place to be and thursday sounds good to me :)

Holy cow!! You guys do have bad luck when it comes to car theifs. So sorry, but glad that nothing was taken.

Josh says not to be too thankful about the little window...he heard they cost more to replace and the other day Dad and Josh took the boys fishing and accidentally left some gear and things by the dock-- when they returned everything was there except Kaden's gameboy. I guess the POLITE theif got that too. Sorry about the vandalism to your car.

That is no fun! But at least you found a fun place for the girls to go swimming. I think I might have to spend the whole week in the pool. Although we move Friday to our new place a mile down the road, good thing there is a pool there too! We miss you guys...pregnancy is good, just hot right now. 6 months and going strong.
