bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?  

I guess Kari wasn't happy that I took the girls camp picture off her blog because the cops showed up at our house last night.

They really did show up but unfortunately it was not because of the picture but because my car got broken into Tuesday night.  Broken into is probably not the best choice of words - how about our car got opened through the unlocked door that we left unlocked (at least we think it was unlocked since we can't see any forced entry)  It was our fault, "our" meaning me or the kids and I'm going with the kids on this one  :)

Seems that some folks were cruising through the neighborhood last night checking for unlocked cars.  We got hit as well as some friends of ours another street over - both their cars were targets.

The damage wasn't too bad for us.  They took my ipod and Derek's ipod (which happened to be in my car) Both of our ipods are the original 1st models so they are pretty old and worn. Mine only works in my car charger.  Once you take it off the charger you can only get through maybe one song.  Derek's worked fine but had already been refurbished at one point.  They also took a cup of change that couldn't have been more then $5.

In the end I think the kids were happy that our safety and security had been violated (that sounds more scary then saying our 2 old ipods were taken out of our unlocked car)  The police officers that showed up were nice enough to give the kids a tour of the patrol car.


They let them try on a bullet proof vest.  All the kids commented on how heavy it was.


And the kids even got to check out some rifles - no touching, just looking and got to hold and check out a bullet.  

It all made for a much more entertaining Wednesday night then what we had planned (which was nothing) So thank you Mr. Bad Boy Burglar for providing us with a fun evening activity. Hope you're enjoying the $5 in change and the $30 bucks you might get for our ipods. If you get arrested I hope it was worth it.
