I feel for your loss... it really sucks, but these are the times we live in. Your story has opened my eyes a bit, however. I usually leave my wallet in the car but will probably rethink that behavior now.

The car and its contents are covered by insurance but cancelling all the credit cards, replacing all the IDs and other personal documents that I carry on my wallet would be a real pain in the butt. I guess that the best plan these days would be to take my wallet with me when out on the water. Inconvenient, but certainly safer.

I am hopeful that you find your stuff and that the thief receives appropriate justice.

Good news folks!

Jasmins car has been found! Police called, they found it parked downtown.

Wallet gone, Cd/radio, any valuables inside were cleaned up. Scratched & small bump on the right side. They went to the extent of carelesly wripping off the spare tire cover in the back (likely to make it look a bit different). They picked up reels but left the kill bag inside. Probably didnt hurt it smelled a bit fishy

I am glad it was found. Jasmin is happy!

Very good points Scally - do keep in mind you may be watched when leaving your car.

Hope we all learn from this, and make it harder for them
