As much as I would like to say this entry is about Liam Neeson, unfortunately it is about how my phone/wallet was stolen last week. Not even how–I am really not even sure how it happened–more like how I felt,

I was at the bowling alley with my family and somewhere between the shoe counter and our lanes, my phone was gone. My phone has a wallet attached so my driver license, debit and credit cards were also taken. It could have easily fallen out of my pocket but when I called Verizon, the signal had already been turned off and no one at the bowling alley turned anything in. So even if I did drop it, someone swooped it up.

I am surprised I am handling it so well but I am taking it as a right of passage. I feel like at some point most people have some  incident like this happen, whether it is a car break in or identity theft. I feel like I was just biding my time until it happened to me. That being said, it still sucks. It is such a pain in the ass. In California, you have to physically go into the DMV to get a replacement license. Because it was stolen, I have to mail/fax a claim to the insurance (I don’t have a printer or a fax) so I have to wait until I can get access. If it sounds like I am complaining, I am. This is a crappy thing to have to deal with. I have no way to pay for anything since I had to close all my accounts and have to wait a few business days before things can get back up and running. I can drive but at my own risk since I have no ID. I can’t buy booze and cough syrup, which was going to be my main way of coping this weekend. (To clarify I am sick and not using cough syrup as a recreational drug) While this hasn’t been the worst thing to happen and it definitely could have been worse, it still was an amazing inconvenience considering I was the “victim”.

Oh and life lesson from my mom, never keep all your credit cards and debit cards in one place.
