Updates on things...
Well, it's been a few days since I was robbed, so here are some things I've since learned:
Concerning the bank account, I learned that it was not $400 that they'd gotten, as I'd believed. Since I have a $200 per day limit on my account, I'd assumed that was all they could take. Not so. $900 was taken, four transactions of $200 each, and one $100. I'd had a little over $400 in my account anyway, so I couldn't have imagined that. However, it appears that through using false deposits (one for well over $10,000) and different non-Chase ATMs, they'd taken out a good deal more. The good news? I spoke to the bank, and I'm not being held liable. However, I do wonder if going just under 1K was a tactical move to prevent a certain level of attention from the bank? Or maybe that's all they were able to wrangle.
The police came for evidence. There were a lot of random paper scraps, but the biggest thing might be the pair of malt liquor bottles with someone's fingerprints on them.
My car got a nasty dent on the front bumper from when they "parked" my car back in the garage, but it appears to have somehow popped back out? Is that possible? I really don't know much in that area of things.
My cell phone was in fact taken as well, but I was going to have to replace that soon anyway. The earpiece had been broken on it, so at least that decision has been made for me?
One of my shoes that had the laces taken from it is gone as well, which sucks. I paid a good amount of money for those shoes, and now I have to use my less-comfortable work shoes. Great. The lace in fact is around, which is the oddest part. I don't know why the hell it's gone, but I don't see it anywhere in the garage area.
In all honesty though, I still think I'm lucky. That really is a lot better off than I could have been.
Unfortunately, my brother and his wife were burglarized not two days ago. Among the major things stolen were their laptop computers, their PS2, and a number of important sentimental items. While it's fortunate that they didn't have any danger of meeting up with the thieves, they fared a lot worse in terms of being able to get their lives back on track. Hopefully the insurance will cover everything that can be replaced, and they find those sons of bitches as well. Christina wrote a lot more about it in her blog.
I'd heard a family in Columbus recently has robbed, but the family was home, and two of the family members had been killed in the process.
So.
Be careful all of you out there.
