Ladron in da' house

So this past weekend we had a little ladron excitement.

Someone stole Daniel's wallet (credit cards, license, money), his cell phone and my IPOD (weep). It was very hot so we had all the doors open and someone peeked in and took the items off the table. I was in the kitchen for most of the time, Daniel was upstairs sleeping. It's kind of freaky that this happened while we were home.

On Sunday, Daniel called his cell phone and a man answered the line. Daniel told him what had happened and the man told Daniel that he had just purchased the cell phone for 200 pesos at the market at 6PM the night before. Daniel noticed everything was missing around that time (he was about to go on a beer run and noticed his wallet was gone). The man apologized and said he'd return Daniel his phone, as long as Daniel would pay him the $200 pesos. They agreed but have not yet met for the exchange.

The wallet and money are gone. Luckily, Alyssa our renter found Daniel's German Driver's License and Jerrod fed-ex'd it to us. We received it yesterday. New credit cards..etc arrive next week. Until then, my mom is helping us out with any major purchases (aka - a new IPOD). Thank you mom!!!!

All in all, it could have been a lot worse. I'm just glad it is over.

That's so freaky! Andy had his wallet stolen last summer and he was the victim of identity theft some time afterwards. Definitely put a credit watch on!
