Thief!

So my weekend was interesting. My purse was stolen on saturday night (or you might say sunday morning). It's one of those things that make you wonder how it happened because I never left the purse unattended it was on the table by my side the whole time, but I was entertained talking to friends so I guess the thief saw opportunity. It really bothers me that this kind of stuff happens. I know it's new york city but why would you delibrately take someoneelse's stuff.

In any event, I'm just aggravated that I had to spend a ton of money replacing my stuff, mor so because I decided to change all my locks since I am more careful than most. Hey, I thought to myself, some creap out there has my driver's license and the keys to my apartment, they just managed to take my stuff while I'm right there so they may or may not decide to go to my house and take the rest of my stuff. I wasn't about to risk it. In a way I felt kind of stupid but it happens to the best of us. I'm glad nothing worse happened and that everything that was in that bag was replaceable. Still, my space was invaded and it feels yucky. Good thing I have a lot of cop friends, not that they are out looking for my bag or anything but somehow it makes me feel better when they come to my house to check up on me and stuff. In total so far it's cost me $600 and the thief ended up with $100 cash and a metrocard.

Somehow it doesn't seem worth it but I wonder what the situation of that other person is. You never know why someone is driven to do stuff like this, I would like to think its more out of need but some people can be just plain violent and distrubed. I don't see how stealing like this would make you rich so I highly doubt it's greed. I guess that's something I would just never know.
