I got ripped off this weekend

[Timber Wolf]

Sat night my friends went to see their grandtwins, and gave me some cash to get the son and I a pizza from Costco. They also left me their Costco AmEx to get gas as I had helped move some stuff for another friend of theirs w/ my truck and they were having me get gas w/ the AmEx.

Got to Costco late, had time to get pizza not gas. Yest after church I was going out and stopped at the Costco to get the gas. Checking my wallet for the AmEx, I find it isn't there. I think I left it at home w/ the change from the pizza. I check my second wallet, it's not there so I go home. THe AmEx isn't where I left the chnge from the pizza, although the change/receipts are there.

Now I'm getting frustrated, thinking I lost their AmEx. I go through the wallets again. I realize my DL is missing fromthe second wallet. I go up to tell my friends. While I'm talking to them, I realize my Debit card is missing, but I never activated that card - so it should be worthless, and my old card had expired so was no good. They ask me to double-check to make sure I hadn't maybe been digging something out of the wallet and left somethings out. I knew I hadn't, but since I am living w/ them, I went back downstairs. It was at that point I remembered, "Oh yeah, when I went to Costco I had 60 dollars cash in my primary wallet."

Go back upstairs to tell friends, they have talk w/ son (later am told "He'll try to take care of it.") I finally go out to do what I needed to do, stopped at Home Depot, as had store credit, and was gonna look at getting a few things for a project. Get to store, yep, store card is missing, another 30 bucks. At least when I got home my laptop was still here. I had looked at where I had left it yesterday before going out, and the carrying case was still there, but I actually opened it up to check to make sure.

So this morning I sit down to get phone numbers and think, "I need to check my checkbook," yep - check is missing. So now I am going to file the police report, go to the bank, call the credit bureaus, etc. etc.

I will make sure to keep my wallet on me when I go into the shower, and I got up late Sun morning, so when I dashed out I didn't grab wallet, keys, etc, cause I was going with friends to church. So I will defintely try to boost my sit awareness while I am still here. I'm in the middle of applying for the teaching position and was going to try to run my app over to the school today.

So please say prayer for me to get this done, and that I can get a job and get the heck outta Dodge.

AAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!!!

[Cymrugirl]

So it was the son who stole your stuff??

[Katharine]

Oh, man. That was really rough, to have those sinking discoveries one by one. I'm sorry you ended up losing so much. I'll pray for resolution... and restitution... and a teaching job.

[righter1]

TW, I'm SO, SO SORRY about this! It's the last thing you need right now!!!

Lord, please protect TW at this time from things like great financial loss and identity theft. Keep Your Hands on him, protect him, and guide him to get him back on his feet as quickly as possible. Please also guide these friends of his, who must have the patience of Job where it concerns their son.

Amen.

[lynnmosher]

If you listen closely, you'll hear me yelling...as Bugs Bunny would say...

Razzafrazzin-razzafritz!

I'm so sorry. Blessings HAVE to be around the corner for you!!! Still praying!

[JayBee]

Just dont give up praising the Lord TW no matter what. You've certainly been through the testing times, hang on in there those blessings truly are around the corner. How do I know? cos God has never deserted me.....And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
Biiiiiiig hug and Peace

[Timber Wolf]

Thanks friends - and you are that, indeed. Got the acct cancelled, and a new one opened, DL is still pending cause DMV office closed Mon, and got report filed w/ Sheriff's to cover my bases - don't really expect these guys to be caught, but in case something does turn up, I'll have something as proof that the crime was reported.

Now back to my regularly scheduled stress of being unemployed and looking for work.

[rljfl]

Sorry to hear all that, TW. At least you stepped in and reported everything and contacted all the appropriate places quickly. Praying for the teaching position as well as this situation.

[VLSmith]

I think JOB would be a more appropriate moniker for you than Timberwolf.

I pray that some day you will be able to look back on all these trials and thank God for the strength and wisdom you gained from them. You'll also be an inspiration to others when there seems to be no hope in sight.

I love the fact that you keep hanging in there no matter what. You're already an inspiration!

[PepperGardenMan]

Wow.

I just have to say it again.

Wow.

Like they say, Lord, don't just put a hedge of protection around TW and his stuff, make it a brick wall!

Hang in there, TW!

[Mouse5]

Praying the Lord puts that brick wall of protection around you, TW. Along with a great big dose of peace.

Blessings..

[HumourHelper]

Hi and many blessings on you, TW. Have had one robbery and one attempted, myself. I discovered something interesting when going through the trial. What JayBee said was so true. In hindsight, something amazing happened when I praised through the trial...

I discovered I needed something more than what was stolen. God gave me something in return because I praised Him. A long story. But the principal is what I learnt. HE WAS ASKING ME TO TRUST HIM TOTALLY WITH MY FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Secondly, I have since had a couple of things supernaturally disappear. Like miracles, this stuff does happen. My skeptic husband is witness to that...

E.g.
I lost my house keys not long after the robbery (after leaving them in a purse BY THE FRONT DOOR) and had to pray between gritted teeth for two days asking for protection on my house, because by now I had learned that God was asking me to trust Him for my WHOLE financial situation—my worldly goods. Well, you'll never guess what happened.

I laid out the fleece. I said, Lord, what mission do you want me to give the cost of new keys to? I don't believe you want me to waste ($300) on nothing.

Miracles happen!

I started walking and waiting for the answer.
I had gone about six metres when I remembered a pledge I had made to myself six months before that I had TOTALLY forgotten...

I had pledged, when I came into more finances, to sponsor a new child (I had a couple of others elsewhere) after I had heard about the power of one person in helping an 'untouchable' of India (Dalit) to become Prime Minister (1997). It would have cost me close to the $300 for a year.

I about-faced, went to my computer, clicked on "Dalit Christian Network/Sponsor", entered my card details, walked back down the hallway and I KID YOU NOT, my purse with the missing keys was sitting on the floor in front of me!

This is undoubtedly the most important spiritual lesson of my life. God wants us to trust him unconditionally to feed, clothe and protect us, as the story in the book of Ruth explains.

This scenario has happened on several occasions since. Let me tell you, TW, when you trust God for EVERYTHING, the blessings just pour in!

God recently unclogged all the drains in my house from tree roots after I refused to let the plumber have his way and gave the money to mission instead. I could go on and on...

I hope this says something to your situation. As I said, it is only in hindsight that we see how God was working!

God bless you and let him take care of the job! Pray unceasingly as you walk. You may meet someone with the job God has planned for you! DON't STOP PRAYING!(:

Wendy

[HumourHelper]

When I say pray I mean praise. When you can't think of anything else to thank Him for, (eg. how He will supply the job, return your finances, etc.) sing praise songs in your head!

[Timber Wolf]

Thanks all.

After I closed my bank acct / filed the original report w/ sheriff, the bank called me and told me that someone had tried to cash a check for 150.00 American. They gave me the guys name, and I called the cops and eventually talked to a couple of deputies last night.

When I made arrangements to talk to them I asked to meet them away from the house for fear it would stir up to many emotions and problems. When I met with them they did tell me they would have to eventually come to the house and talk to everyone who lives there, to take their statements. I made mention to the wife this morning and she starts boo-hooing about how one of those mean, awful detectives ruined her son's life. She blames them for investigating their son and the resultant prblms he got into (I told you in the other thread he had been in trouble), rather than blaming her son for his actions (holding him accountable), and blaming the "friends" he hangs w/ that uses him and gets him in trouble.

So now she is saying how b/c of the past investigaiton she doesn't want the sheriff to come here and talk to them. And she is saying I need to talk to hubby about dropping charges - I don't think in my heart I can do that. I don't know. If I don't I may be moving out - I hate to think they would do that cause I insist on filing charges, but even if they don't I'm not sure if I'd be able to stay around here. So she'd rather just let the son's friends keep hanging around, and not deal with it.

They have already had laptops, checks, bank cards, etc. stolen out of the house. Just a couple weeks ago their bank called and told them that a girl was trying to cash a check (two checks). Well the checks had been stolen and forged, but my friends never did anything about it. The son had claimed it was the same guy that tried passing my check, and now we find out it was him being given checks. He wasn't here, but his x had been here early SUN morn, and so the cops now have her name as well, as stealing the checks and cash and then giving him the check to tr to pass.

So you see, I was right about not wanting to have the Deputies show up at the house last night. I guess we really don't really know someone until we've lived in thir house for two mnths. She's feeling unprotected cause her son just let's people roam about, and hubby wants to avoid confrontation w/ the son, and hubby won't just plain tell the friends to go away and not come back or he's going to press tresspass charges. I suppose they could even go so far as to file for a protection order and use that to get them arressted if they show up around here again.

Sooooooo, anyway.....


(Job had it easy.)

[righter1]

TW, I know you're probably torn about this, especially given the charity these people have shown you in the last couple of months, but somehow, I can't see how this kid will learn his lesson if you don't have the backbone to stick to this and let the sheriff's office interrogate him. It's not the sheriff's fault this kid's life is a mess--it's HIS fault!!! (I'm sure you get this, I'm just trying to reinforce it.) Obviously something is going to have to be done, because if he's doing this to his family, and now to you, who can tell who else he's doing this to? Maybe next time, it'll be the elderly widow down the street, or the single mom with three kids. You can't tell. His parents may not seem to have a problem with the theft, but others aren't--and shouldn't--take the lackaidisical attitude of the parents I'm seeing from your reports!

[lynnmosher]

Sheesh! If you lived close to me, we would welcome you with open arms! Do you have any relatives that will let you move in with them? Anywhere?

[Mouse5]

You are right when you say, "You don't really know a person until you live with them". That statement is very true and something I have come to realize countless times.

Stick by your decision to press charges. Not only are you in no position to tolerate a few missing dollars, but it would be wrong to let it ride. It is past time for this guy to be held accountable for his decisions.

I know it's unsettling not to have somewhere to go but remember that God has you in His hands and He is guiding your steps. Trust Him.

[Timber Wolf]

Well, first of all to clear up something - it's not the son I'm saying that stole the money, the guy who cash the check is divorced, and his Ex was her the time in question. So she apparantly took the money, check, etc, gave the ex-husband the check and he tried cashing it. He's done this before, apparantly.

secondly- guess the original prblm was with the city cops where the son had had his prblms, and it was a detective from the PD that they were talkig about. We are actually out of any incorporated city limits, so I'm dealing w/ county sheriff.

No, no family around to live with. I do have my truck, though.

TW, I understand that it is not the son who stole the money. But if I am getting this right the man who's ex stole your things is a friend of the son. Am I right? First off what was the man and his ex doing there to begin with. Secondly the son has been approached about his friends stealing so they shouldn't have been left in the house alone anyway. No matter how you slice it someone needs to be held accountable for their actions. The son needs to be held accountable for allowing a friend who steals the opportunity to do so. The friend needs to be held accountable for allowing his ex to steal and then trying to cash the check. It is time they were all held accountable for their actions. Until that happens it will continue and more people will wind up hurting.

As far as having your truck as a place to live. I could think of worse places. And look on the bright side at least its not winter anymore. At the risk of sounding mean (which I really don't intend to do) I just want to say be thankful you have your truck as an alternative. My father didn't even have that when he was faced with surgery for cancer. He was forced to live in the streets right before and after his surgery and working at a Salvation Army as a cook. The only transportation he had was if someone gave him a ride somewhere or his two legs that God gave him. The only shelter he had was a cardboard box. This all after my mother had left him and taken all six of us kids with her. My dad lost his family, his home, his means of transportation, found out he had cancer, and had no job because he quit working to look after us kids in order to answer mom's need/want to go back to school.

TW, things could be so much worse. Praise God for all you do have, ask Him to help you carry on, and have faith that He will take care of you. That is all any of us can do in these situations. You know you will be in my prayers and I know that God is looking out for you.

God bless you, my friend.

[HumourHelper]

Amen,

And when you really feel God leading you, act on it, even if it is an extreme decision. That's when the blessings come.
Perhaps you're about to meet someone who will change your life situation. God bless,
Wendy

[Xenia]

I agree with Mouse. Do what's right and let the chips fall where they may... tough stuff though... no doubt! Things are always changing whether we see or feel it or not. I can just sense you cresting the top of that hill TW.. surely this valley will be something you look out over and wave good-bye to soon!

[kimshouts]

this seems like you're being in your wilderness season... and after such seasons, blessing and promises would come to pass... be expectant. things would fall into place and would be better C:

[JayBee]

Sooooooo, anyway.....


(Job had it easy.)

so if Job had it easy (i know you said it half jokingly) and was blessed real good how much more is God gonna bless you spiritualy mentally and phisically TW when the time comes.....YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE. Praise God and then praise Him some more.

[Timber Wolf]

Yeah I said it jokingly. I'm sure a hopin' that's what a happens. I just keep wondering what it is God must be prepping me for? (Not more surgery I hope :D)

[JayBee]

gold gets melted till the all muck comes off. then it's pure gold and the makers face reflects in it. You gave Him permission to do the heart surgery just like i did, it hurts but we soon forget....one day TW we will be like Him i hope we will be able to recognise each other cos then i can give you a biiiiiiiig yorkshire huuuuuug

[sjackie39c]

My prayers are with you TW. My husband had his identity stolen and it was a mess getting things taken care of. We didn't have a credit card or anything at the time, but somehow someone got his SS# and started opening all kinds of utility accounts and stuff. Didn't know about it until we applied for a loan and it showed up on our credit report. We had to file a police report and contact every one one the list we didn't owe. It amazes me how the person who steals your identity has most of the rights to privacy, as the companies couldn't tell us who these people were. They didn't use his name just his social in most cases. I was blown away. I know one thing from personal experience, that through each trial we receive strength and what the Devil means for our harm, God turns into blessings. Hang in there and know you are not alone.

[GentleJourneyAu]

My blood pressure went up just reading what happened to you. You have gone through so much already. Work on surrendering the natural anger and frustration you may be feeling now to God. Forgive (but don't forget; as you say be more aware of your surroundings while you are in that house.) I pray your efforts toward a teaching position will be abundantly fruitful, and you may soon find yourself solvent again and praising the Lord to the skies. Elaine

[Timber Wolf]

Cops called today, it's been assigned to a detective. But I know it's really assigned to God.

[Timber Wolf]

I'm gonna draw and quarter someone.

I just opened some mail, and had a bill from Penneys for 267.13. Had to call Penney's and tell them to cancel my card, and to mark the purchase as fraud, they'll send me an affadavit for fraud. Called the detective and left him a msg. The nice thing was, it was a catalog order, so the should be able to track down the address.


These suckers need to be hog-tied and gutted like a fish. (I know, I know, not a very Christian attitude.) Oh, and also my friend got a bill from AMEX, they mngd to get a 60 dollar purchase plus 30 dollar tip on the card before it was cancelled. They had the pizza delivered, so another address to track down.

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

[lynnmosher]

I don't blame you. You seem to be a magnet for negative circumstances. When I get to the boiling point, which takes a lot, and since I don't use foul language, I always quote Bugs Bunny...

Razzafrazzenrazzafratz!

[jacks girl]

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. I'm not saying what you should do but every time things are not going my way. i look around and see if I've been robbing God and not paying my tithes. Thats just the way I see it, and most of the time i have forgotten to pay my tithes.

Jacks

[Mouse5]

There's not a thing I can say to this, my friend. Except that sucks, I'm sorry, and that I'm praying the police will decide to take care of the problem quickly.

[GentleJourneyAu]

I go outside and throw something. Thank the Lord you had already reported these cards as missing. The thief sounds foolish in the extreme. I guess he doesn't read enough crime detective novels to cover his trail.

[Timber Wolf]

So, I go to the gas station today, and open the flap on the side of the truck over the cap, and the cap's not screwed on. I don't forget things like that, if i did I would have forgotten to even have closed the flap. So, mehtinks they have been siphoning off gas. Now I need to get a locking gas cap. I wish there was some way to "poison" a small amnt of gas and let them siphon it and have them screw up there car engine, but I could drain the gas tank and clean it before using the gas. Maybe I could buy some gas in a gas can, and put sugar in it, and tell my frinds to not use it for any of their gas powered equipment, and then see who's car engine gets blwon.

What was it David wrote in the Psalms?, something about God destroying his enemies. OK God, that'd be nice I say.

[Mouse5]

How perfectly annoying! I would not be calling them friends after all of this. :mad:


I like your "poison" gas idea. Though I doubt it would be something God would smile at, it does have a certain satisfying charm to it. Having their engine blow up due to stolen gas would serve them right. The best part of all is that they couldn't say anything because first you told them not to touch it so they were warned. Second they stole from you and coming to you all mad because their engine blew up on them would just give you proof of that fact. And then theres the added bonus of laughing in their face at something they brought on themselves due to their stupidity.

Oops, theres that vicious streak sneaking out again. :o

Diesel in the gas or sugar also works wonders. :D (Sorry, hubby's a diesel mechanic and my dad's an airplane engineer--I know a bit too much about how to make cars inoperable.)

I'll go back to being good now. :o Maybe.

Are you ref to:



....

....



It's not my friend's I'm worried about, about stealing the gas, it's their son's "friends." I was just ref to letting my friends know why there was a gas can of gas out by my truck. I'd still need a lock cap to keep them from stealing more gas, or worse, pouring the sabotaged gas back into my tank.

I've also been reading where people have had catalytic converters stolen - sawed off right from the vehicles, usually trucks like mine) w/ high lift clearances.

Although I said I don't worry about my friends stealing the gas, I do worry that they have let their son do what he wants for the last three years w/out reguiring him to get a job, etc., and I worry that they have let it go so long that they won't be able to do anything about anything he / his friends do, and that they will keep making excuses. "Oh, I don't think anybody would do " (whatever it happens to be this next time around).

[VLSmith]

Timber Wolf,

God must have given you the strength of a hundred polar bears because you have endured so much yet you are still standing and still praying. (You are still praying, aren't you? :confused:)

That's why you lived in Alaska, weathering the cold and the snow - to increase your stamina. Did you learn how to catch any seals while you were there? If so, you could wallop the kid with one. Not hard. We don't want to hurt the seal. :rolleyes:

I wish there were something I could for you, something solid, concrete. Wire you a grand. Put you up in a hotel. Send you a seal. I feel useless. I'll pray, of course, but I wish there were more.

Polar bears and seals are protected unde the Marine Mammals Act.

Beating someone w/ a seal could result in federal imprisonment for endangering a protected species. :D

Strength of a 100 polar bears? Thanks.

Praying? Yes. Sometimes a little more actively than others.

The snow and the cold was a lot easier than this.

[VLSmith]

Beating someone w/ a seal could result in federal imprisonment for endangering a protected species. :D



Maybe walloping someone with a seal would solve a couple of problems. You could vent some frustrations AND get a new place to stay - rent free!

Just kidding! Just kidding! :p

[Timber Wolf]

But why should I bruise a poor, little, cute baby seal just cause I'm frustrated? He didn't steal from me. :D

[Katharine]

I wish there were something I could for you, something solid, concrete. Wire you a grand. Put you up in a hotel. Send you a seal. I feel useless. I'll pray, of course, but I wish there were more.

I'd like to start a "send-TW-a-seal" campaign. Please sign up so that we can make sure he receives a fully-grown seal representing every region where CW members live. (Personally, I can't wait to see the ones from North Dakota and Kentucky.)

TW, please post your mailing address here so we can get this thing going.

Sign me up. I'm ready and willing to help out. ;)

Although this concerns me a bit...

We don't want our friend to go to prison do we. I say we have a special seal made just for him. Then he can't get into trouble for endangering a protected species or any species for that matter. :)

[ninetyandnine]

I'm very sorry too.

[VLSmith]

Of course, we don't have seals in the Cincinnati area, but I might be able to scrounge up an otter.

[tlm]

What about Christmas seals or Easter seals? I haven't seen those in years.

[Katharine]

Once Timberwolf accumulates an arsenal of seals (not otters, they're too small), all he has to do is adopt a menacing stance.

TW, let your body language and your gang of furry thugs scare the daylights out of any bad dudes who come lookin'. Oh, and be sure to start stocking up on fish as soon as you give us your mailing address.

[Timber Wolf]

You all are funny. :D

Do please pray for the son, his mom was telling me this morning they are now wanting to get him moved out and on his own again.

[SkeeterFranklin]

Timberwolf,
I will be praying for you from the Albany, NY area of our country. I don't think we have any seals around here, but we have lots of cute, furry, little squirrels.

[kshsj777]

Just kidding! Just kidding! :p

lol !!!!!!!

[HumourHelper]

Nothing resembling a seal in my neck of the woods in Aus., but the cute fuzzy things for sure. Like drop bears(:
Seriously though, while praying for you The Cross and the Switchblade came into my head. Haven't read it for eons, but maybe it has some practicle ideas for showing forgiveness. Whenever I've needed breakthrough prayer I always come back to Jesus' mandate: "as we forgive those who sin against us..." and in Matthew, "When you stand praying, forgive." Hope that helps.
Best...
Wendy

[JayBee]

still praying.
I have some window seals but if i let them go the rain will get in....

[Mona]

You know, when days like that come for me I know there are three things I have to do:
1. Go real slow
2. Keep a low profile
3. Wait for the next day

They hardly ever come in bunches.

I certainly am glad to hear that there was some resolution and I will be praying for your job.
