Do you ever wonder why things happen? So this week was okay at work. Yes I still had runny noses and wild boys to deal with but overall working was okay. I went scrapbooking yesterday. As I was packing up my things to go home at 11:45 pm I lifted my box of paper to put in the trunk and put in some other items, I closed the trunk and not realizing it I dropped my keys. I go back in to retreive my other supplies and then get out to car and realize that I don't have keys. I checked my pockets, I checked my area and no keys. The lightbulb goes off, No... I didnt lock them in the trunk. But yes I did. The other doors had not been unlocked yet so I couldn't get inside to push the button which is in my glove box. I call the Winterset police who comes and tries to open my door for me with this big long bar which he had to wedge my window open to do. His first question is do I have any id. Yeah I do but guess where it is. IN the car. He spends twenty minutes trying to get my door unlock but at the first try the car alarm goes off. His words were You didn't tell me there was a car alarm set. DUH........... his concern is that he would wake up the neighborhood. I am at a american legion hall and there is nothing but closed up businesses around What neighbors? Just get the door open. His next question do you have an extra set of keys. I live in a small town that I can walk home in 5 blocks don't you think I would have gone home and gotten extra key if I had one. HERE'S YOUR SIGN. The set in the trunk was the extra set. I asked him to try and get the latch of the door lock and pull it and then it would unlock the door. He tried once couldnt get it. Finally I asked him to call someone who could come over with a jimmney and do it. The officer asked me why I had my car alarm set in town. Because even though Winterset is a small town it still has crime. HERES YOUR SIGN The neighbors cars have been vandalize lately. So far mine hasn't but I lock my doors and set alarm every night. I even lock my doors hardly anyone does here. Some people don't even know where the keys to their houses are. A few minutes later a tow truck driver here in town comes. Him and his son come and try a jimmney that look different then the ones I have ever seen. They didnt get it opened so they pull out a long rod like the officer had and they tried the latch on door and after a few tries had it opened.
$43.00 dollars later. (Had ask my friend to pay for it until I got my debit card story down below) Now why couldn't the officer do that. It is not like he had any other calls to handle. Matter of fact I was probably the only call all night.
Last Sunday I went out to car. I couldnt find my Debit Card. I figured it was lost or stolen. So I cancelled old card had to wait for new card 7 to 10 days. Meanwhile I have money sitting in my account waiting to pay bills but can't get it out. My debit card is a prepaid one. So my card is the only way I can get access to my funds.
My daughter loaned me money for gas because I can't get money out. She paid for my scrapbook outing and lunch. I know they say we are suppose to learn from our challenges but what did I learn from this NOTHING. Get an extra key. Already did that before. Dont leave debit card in car. (never do it was in my bag) I couldnt find it. Dont complain or somebody will have other things happen just so you can realize that nothing is as bad as it seems. LOL Well I got home and new debit card is in mail. MURPHY'S LAW
