Thank you all so much for your comments and support. Much love.
I'm still not ok, but I'll be again eventually. I learned this morning that I can apply for both a new SSN card and license online, which does make things easier, less phone calls to make and less places to stop by. I plan to call my apartment complex later this morning and ask if the locks on my door can be replaced asap. And later today we're going back to the city where it happened (which is an hour away from where I am now, ugh, my parents live way out in the boondocks) and meet with the police and fill out a report. Hopefully tomorrow, once everything is open again, I'll check with my bank and see if it will be a good idea to close my account and transfer the funds (if the scum didn't wipe it out before I got to canceling my debit card last night) into a new one. We can also check with the local Dodge dealership and see if we can get a new key for my car.
What's worrying me so much is the cost of everything. I have no method of paying right now anyway, but I don't want my parents to dig themselves in a hole by dealing with all this. And what if it's so much even
they can't take care of it right now? We're all suffering a bit financially right now.
And then there's the issue of my ssn and even my birth certificate having been in my purse. I am sooo kicking myself for having them in there now, not smart. The thing is, I've moved so many times in the last decade, and they are needed to get a new license among other things, so I finally decided to keep them in my purse so I'll always know where they are, so I don't have to "dig them up" after the turmoil of a stressful move. My birth certificate would appear as an old, stained and slightly torn piece of paper, tucked in one of the pockets of my purse, so it's likely they didn't even see it. But yeah, SSN, ugh. My credit is less then perfect as many of you know already, due to student loans, but they can still do some damage with that. I'll definitely be keeping a CLOSE eye on things for a while.
Again all your support is very much appreciated. It does lighten this load a bit.
