Why Does This Stuff Happen To Me?

So a month or so ago I had my vehicle broken into and $300 worth of stuff taken from it. I've replaced my GPS unit that was taken (but not my wireless tuner for my iPod). I think I'm over my anger of being violated and of the scumbags who think its okay to steal to make a living while I'm working to make an honest living, and now this:

This past Friday night on my way to meet my sister, Stef, and her boyfriend, Jake, for dinner I stop off at the ATM machine at the gas station on the corner. I grab my money and go to leave and pull up behind a truck towing a boat at the exit to the station. I'm sitting in the car talking to Steve, when I notice the boat's propeller is coming towards me. I laid on the horn and the boat stopped. I went on talking, and the boat starts moving again. The jerk backed right into the front of my car. Then I got out of the car yelling and screaming at him, and he takes off out of the parking lot. I check out the front of my car and notice my front license plate is missing. I watch the boat driving down the road and notice that my license plate is attached somehow to the back of the boat!!!

Steve tells me to follow them, but I like an idiot dial 911 instead. I now wait 22 minutes for a policeman to show up. He doesn't seem concerned, he even gives a little chuckle when I tell him that the John Deere license plate from the front of my car that the guy took with him was pink. He wouldn't even go in and request the video from the gas station to get the guys plate numbers!

If you're driving down the street and see a boat with an Illinois tag and a pink John Deere plate stuck to the boat, its mine! Stop the driver and get my plate back!!

Starting a Blog

Well, this will be a new experience for me. I'm starting a blog! I'm hoping I'll have enough to talk about to actually keep it current and interesting. I got the idea from a couple who went on a long vacation in their RV and used the blog to keep family and friends updated on what they were doing and what they were seeing. Since I'm hoping to get the camper out more often this year, I'm hoping I'll be able to do the same. One day when work allows it, I'd like to take the camper cross country and stop off and visit all the places I've always wanted to go but never got to! Guess that's it for now. The next camping trip isn't until Memorial Day Weekend!
