I once was lost, but now I'm found...

...our ipod that is! It was stolen out of our car a few months ago. We filed a police report just incase it turned up in a pawn shop, but we did not expect to ever get it back. I was so bummed, especially because it makes working at 4 a.m. a little more pleasant. I am usually pretty accepting and forgiving of people who make bad choices or live different lifestyles, however I can not stand when people take things that don't belong to them. Thanks to my dad and a grocery store clerk, I learned at an early age that stealing is not ok. Since then our family home has be broken into more than once and I have had several things taken from me. I don't like thieves. So now fast forward to this morning. We received a call from a detective who found our ipod in a pawnshop! He brought it right over. It was missing the headphones, cover, and car adapter, but it came back to us! Great work Mr. Detective! Remember to remove valuables from your car and lock your doors, even if you think we live in a "safe" area. The officer said that this individual was going up and down streets at night looking for unlocked cars. He also said that criminals target this area particularly because people are too trusting. No more unlocked doors at the Harvey House! We are locking up and celebrating the return of an old friend.
