Smashed Report

Today was one of those days. I started a new contract today, so with it being my first day at a new job, I really wanted it to start smoothly.

Well, that was shot down when Sue opened the living room curtains and called out to me that the truck window was broken. At first I thought she meant there was a large crack in it. When I looked, the passenger side window was smashed.

I went out and found the contents of the glovebox strewn about the passenger seat. Glass pieces were everywhere. From what I can tell, nothing was taken though. My CD’s were left untouched, my change (penny) collection in the ashtray was untouched, and the stereo was left intact.

As I was cleaning, someone walking by stopped and told me his brothers car down the street was also broken into and some things were taken from it. I cleaned up as much as I could and talked with my neighbour (who happens to be a police officer) about it. He was saying that it was unusual since there was nothing of value in plain sight, and I don’t exactly drive a high end vehicle.

We filed a police report, and started looking into my insurance. Thankfully I have a low deductible for glass, so we can get it fixed tomorrow. I was supposed to take the kids to daycare this morning, but instead Sue did while I cleaned up. She lost a couple hours of her day to this. What a pain.
