Aw, thanks so much for the replies IL and Sparky. Now that the day is over, I do feel a bit better. My dad and I took the van back to the city where the incident happened so the city police could write up a report. We were waiting 2 and a half hours for a cop to come! It was very tiring, once we got tired of sitting, we paced around the outside of the van, and then I konked out in the back seat (I hardly slept at all last night, as I'm sure you can imagine). The officer finally came, turned out they thought they were suppose to meet us at the park where the crime occurred. That wasn't necessary so we parked at the local mall because we knew they'd be able to find us easily. It was just yet another misunderstanding. The officer was actually very nice. He wrote up a report quickly for my dad so he could have the insurance take care of it. And then the officer asked me a whole bunch of questions about what was in my purse. And he gave us a claim number so we have a police claim number to give to our insurance companies or banks, or anything really that might need it for legal purposes.
After the officer left, we went to the mall and my dad got me a new cell phone. It's more expensive than my old one was, ugh. But it's cool because this one is so much nicer than my other one was. It has a camera, my other one didn't.
And it's on Verizon, and since most people I call/text use the same carrier, contacting them would be free. So, I'm not exactly sure how the plan works, but we'll see, it might not be as much as my other one was. So, I at least have one thing replaced now. So I'm on the road to recovery.
I plan to start the process of getting a new license and SSN card online this evening, and tomorrow we're off to get a new car key, a new apartment key, and order a new debit card (and change bank accounts if they advise that).
And Sparky, oh no no no no no, that's certainly not dumb about the tape!
I use to do the same exact thing, no lie! I still have most of them, most recorded between Jr. High and college, so I have some songs going back to the '80s. And during college I even organized a bunch of the songs onto different tapes and labeled them according to the time in my life those certain songs remind me of. I don't listen to them too often anymore, but it's pure nostalgia when I do, I still love it.
