I have been troubled since, thinking what ifs. I thought I locked the door and why did I leave my bag inside the car I never do that. I am constantly thinking how this thief/thieves know everything about me. I also had prayer cards in there, if they would have just taken the money and cards and left the bag. There were things in there that could not be replaced. I keep praying I hope someone who knows this person or people who did this will tell them mail the bag back with everything else. I feel so violated too and dumb for this happening. I googled and found your website. I know it was years ago, but I could relate to the letter you wrote. They took our holiday cards I left in there don't know why I didn't grab those either and threw them all over the street. I am angry, scared, and just full of emotions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-835029842515260152017-11-24T17:54:01.910-08:002017-11-24T17:54:01.910-08:00Your letter is very helpful to me tonight. I too,...Your letter is very helpful to me tonight. I too, carelessly left my purse in my car last night (Thanksgiving night) as my husband and I and 2 friends watched a movie at our favorite theater. They smashed the window and took my favorite purse, license, credit cards and phone etc. I got my phone back, using Find My Phone; my husband and I took two hours till midnight tracking it down. The theif had thrown it out the window. Still, I have not been able to stop feeling angry and hopeless since the incident.<br /><br />I've spent all day, my day off on the phone replacing cards etc. But I am now scared when I wasn't before. They know where I live. We changed the locks , but they have my car keys. I cannot yet bring myself to forgive them even though I used to think of myself as a compassionate person. Ha ! It was easy to be compassionate before anything bad happened to me. You are a bigger person than I am and I thank you for your brilliant letter. I hope to come to that attitude one day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883443639657061143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-23698464545939578582017-04-12T09:18:03.676-07:002017-04-12T09:18:03.676-07:00I am so sorry that happened to you.

Like yo...Your post was so helpful you have no idea. Like you, my car window was smashed yesterday. As i shopped inside a walgreeens with my two babies. I left my purse since i had my hands full, they took that plus my phone and my sons diaper bag. I came out and my heart sank when i saw glass om the floor. Im all cried out and everything is replaced. But my world was turned upside down because of this. I got a call from the police saying it was actually a woman, she was caught on camera at target using my stolen card within 20 minutes of me calling 911. It hurt even more to know they saw me, preyed on me and as a woman still chose to do that knowing my babies were with me. Awful... I hope all is well now for you. Im sure i will get thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-31954375541158395782016-01-11T22:58:57.480-08:002016-01-11T22:58:57.480-08:00The thought that always makes me feel better is, &...The thought that always makes me feel better is, "Someday God will make them feel worse than any man could." Not that God MAKES us feel anything, but someday we'll all have our day of judgement, you know? Standing in front of our Heavenly Father, I'm sure that we'll all be acutely, painfully aware of our shortcomings (while still basking in His love). :-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226692135849433167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-72427159998661478702016-01-07T18:21:49.249-08:002016-01-07T18:21:49.249-08:00Have mercy!
