Break In
Unfortunately our van was broken-in to. (that expression results in bad grammar!)
We had theives jimmy the passenger side of our van and steal whatever they could grab.
Fortunately, we had very little of value in the van.
They stole our flash light from the glove compartment, and took the girls library book bags
from the hatch. No one was hurt so all is well.
We went to the library to explain that their books were stolen and filed a police report.
The library said they put the books on a hiatus for six months in case they are turned into
a library or we recover them somehow. At the end of the six months, if we do not return them we will have to pay for the books. The books cost four hundred dollars!!!
Please pray that some kind soul finds the books wherever they were stashed (I'm assuming car thieves are not interested in children's literature) and returns them to the library.
I'm really praying that God could help us out on this one because we can't afford to fork out $400 for no good reason.
Please pray with us that the books would be found one way or another.
Oh, the theived also stole our antenna!!! Can you believe it! Now we have crappy radio reception to remind us of this event. ( I didn't even know you could steal antennas!)

That is so terrible. I will pray that the books are returned. I am guessing that Autopac doesn't pay for those things that were stolen out of the vehicle?
I hate theft. It is so violating!
I'm sorry to hear that - that sucks!
where was the van?
God really likes B and B so I'm sure that God will listen to their little prayers:)...they (and you and DJ... and me too) are his favorites, right?

Melanie,
Apparently if your car was not moved, but was the "victim" of theft, then it would go under your house insurance, so we'd have to pay the deductible and our h.i. rate would go up.
So its not an option.
C,
Yes we are definitely His favorite ones!
We're not really sure when it happened so we don't know where it was!
Deanna,
Tru dat!
Not good news this.
Options :pray
then check the local dumpsters...oh but if you don't know when it happened and don't know where it was then obviously you are left with just the first option.
My kids once damaged a book beyond repair. The cost was going to be $24-26. I found the same book in the bargain section at Chapters for $5 and they allowed me to replace the book itself rather than pay. My impression is that the library is not especially good at bargain hunting. I'll bet if you work out to replace the actual books it will be less than $400.
But I hope for their return, too.
Thanks Judi.
