I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself tonight. I had a horrible night - woke up at 2:30 am and for whatever reason - I have NO idea what brought this to mind - but I started thinking about my personalized plates for my vehicle and I had a complete meltdown. Needless to say - I didn't get back to sleep.
I have a total of 3 separate vanity plates for my vehicles from over the years. 'October Sun' was my late dh and my kennel name when we were raising and showing Siberian Huskies - so we got vanity plates OCT SUN.
Then I started being called Rusty (a story which you are all too young to hear about - concerning a trucker and my new CB) and I changed from my kennel plates to RRUSTY (RUSTY was taken) - I had those for years and then came along my grandchildren and I decided I wanted grandma plates - this was a bit more difficult cause most were already taken - so I ended up with GRRANNY.
When I lost my job and couldn't work for 2 years - I had to give up my vehicle - and have never been able to afford car insurance since. So - guess what - all the plates were in my locker and I remembered all this at 2:30 a.m. this morning. These all have very special memories about how I came to have them - 1 dead husband - 1 dead trucker boyfriend and 2 grandchildren I can't take to Disney World!
Now I don't have a choice - I HAVE to go to the police and report these plates stolen - there are 3 complete sets - easy to use if the wrong people get hold of them.
This is too long and painful - but I've never heard anything from the management of this building about helping finding my stuff and its given me many sleepless nights. Tonight in my mail I get a letter from the management - thanks for living here - do you have any complaints - are you happy with the superintendents? We get this every year and I never fill it in. You better believe I will be sending this in tomorrow with some very nasty and un-grannylike words.
Anyway - I had to ask my friend who takes me grocery shopping to go to the police station cause with me cause I haven't a clue where it is or how far away it is so I'll be going Saturday. I'm going to see if they will visit the building superindendent and shove a stick up his a**... if you get my meaning.
The problem is - after not knowing when all my stuff was stolen - there is likely nothing the police or anyone can do. I keep remembering other things that were in my locker and get upset all over again.
I can't believe this is upsetting me so much for so long. I'm sorry to rant here and hope you don't mind - but I'm thinking if I can get this off my chest - maybe I'll start feeling better. Right now I feel like crap.
Thanks for letting me go on about this - I know its only material things and I can't honestly understand why I'm so upset after all this time.

It is never easy with some memories. They have a habit of sneaking up on us.
Do you have any pictures with your stuff in them?? maybe take them to the cop shop too.
Great memories with the plates!! Have you thought about writing your memories and saving the for the grandkids.
You probably wll never get over being robbed. i didn't. i still think of all the christmas gifts stollen and all our freezer stuff. Hard for a single mom of two.
Ps: i never could afford to take my kids to disney either. They were lucky to get in style clothes and bikes some years! Remember it is you they want to see when they go to your place!! You are a great grandma!
{{{{HUGS}}}}..Rusty, it hasn't been that long since the robbery!! This type of hurt, like a personal attack, like being personally violated,
Same with me. My apartment storage unit was robbed 32 years ago and I still feel the loss when some of the items pop into my mind. They will always remain in my heart and I will never understand how one human can do this to another human.
Oh I'm sorry that you're going through so much. I hope you get all straightened out real soon.

I know what you mean...wallet , breakin ...it is all the same in a lot of ways....makes you feel violated.
Yes i have no idea what makes people do this to others, but i wonder what they would do if done back??
After my robbery i found lots of my stuff in pawn shops. Sadly my first husband had ought me real nice wedding bands and they are now gone forever too
{{{{{{rusty}}}}}} of course you hurt...that was all personal sentiments.
Awww so sorry you have to deal with this like this ..
I totally understand though
Things we have had hold/held special memories .. simple as that.
Good think you also have the memories in your heart though.
Do follow through as you never know
HI Rusty,,,
((((((RUSTY))))))
Of course you're still upset over the robbery! It wasn't that long ago and something like that is like a personal assault and is bound to stay with you and reoccur sometimes (especially in the wee hours of a morning).
It won't hurt anything to go to the police about your plates. They probably can't get them back, but if anyone tries to use them, they'll be on file as stolen.
Try not to let this bother you. I know that's easier said than done, though, but try. And once the plates are reported as missing, you'll be able to rest easier, knowing that if they show up on someone's car, you may get them back.
