Well....this happened today: I was kind of excited because I have a self-portrait hanging at TAF. The show is called Self-Portrait, Expression Unlimited. So, after school, Emma and I went directly there to see the show because I will be out of town for the opening. We were in there for maybe 15 minutes max. When we came back out to the car, Emmas bag had been stolen. She had a house key, bank card, cash, medication and tons of other things that were so important to her....including a book that she had just gotten for her birthday, a journal, her headphones, her awesome pencil case with the best pens and pencils, and her sunglasses. She was so bummed. We called the police to report it. I thought at the very least they needed to know that someone was stealing purses in this area. We cancelled her bank card....and we talked about how 99% of the population is good and there are not too many people who would do this. We hardly ever lock our car doors. And the house on Wabash Ave. was considered a walk-in space. We would often get home to the kids friends hanging out in the living room or have the neighbors come deliver food in the fridge....even if we werent home. ( Rick Warner) But, tonight left us feeling a little more vulnerable and a little less trusting....until The door bell rang. Two men were standing outside the door. One of them was holding Emma Smolls bag. He said, I just got home from work and pulled down the alley. I saw this bag laying there with the contents all over the grass. There were some dollars and a wallet and things. I picked up everything that I could find and put them in the bag. Her address was on her I.D., so I thought I would bring it over. Faith in humanity restored!!!! We remembered his address and are going to take some cookies to him!!! I love this planet!.....however, its probably a wise idea to lock the car doors when the purse is in it.
