Could it get any worse?

Last week was a VERY stressful week for Bert..he had the grand opening of the new Miskelly store in Madison and there was a big gala Thursday night..I think he said he put in 80 hrs just last week...Anyway, Wednesday morning he had gotten brand new tires put on his truck (something he had needed for a while but just kept putting it off) and stopped for lunch at The Cherokee on I55 before heading to Madison...when he walked out to leave, guess what...NO TRUCK!!! His truck was STOLEN!!! and to top it all off, his wallet was in the truck ( he carries a money clip for his cash in his pocket and doesnt carry the wallet at all times--BIG MISTAKE!!)---not to mention about 5 pairs of pants and a few shirts he had just picked up at the cleaners, 2 guns, his car keys (he uses the push button code to get in and out of the truck), the garage door opener, the keys to his boat and the lock to the boat, a depth finder for the boat, his IPOD, his new Blackberry phone, and Im sure more stuff that he hasnt even thought of.....We thought we had been fast enough canceling all the credit cards that were in the wallet, but these people obviously had a plan..they spent what we have estimated to be about 1500.00 in a mere 30-45 minutes..they went to Target and bought a 700.00 flat screen ( I guess they never checked her ID--that was a woman who did that because they have her on servalence--hopefully they will arrest her today) and they must have just passed out cards to all their friends because they bought gas at lots of different places at about the same time----it just SUCKS!!! and it is such a pain to have to do all the paperwork and WORK of cancelling everything and doing all the runaround! I just feel so violated!! It is scary knowing they can just drive up and come on in with my garage opener and they have our address just by looking at Berts license....I am sure thought they dont really care about that stuff they want the easy stuff like credit cards, guns, and a brand new set of 1000.00 tires on a fairly new truck!!!! I think we have learned a lesson--dont leave anything in your vehicle!!!
