Thanks for the support everyone. In the scheme of things, it’s small. I don’t like being on guard, though.

I’m sorry to hear that this happened to you. It’s good that you took the time to feel angry and cry and let yourself be. I think that’s important. I’m glad that you feel you’ve gained some perspective from this, although I’m sure it’s not easy given how it makes you feel. Hang in there – you’re brave!

P.S. That female cop, the one who was amused by the whole thing…may her taser go off on her while she’s having lunch someday. Rude.

You alluded to this before when it happened the first time. Second time around sounds like you’re going to go with your gut and make those moves. You’ll save money and will have a few less things to worry about. It’s effed up though! Got damn thieves!

The universe does have a way of helping to put things in perspective glad you’re looking at this situation through that lens.

Chakka it is unfortunate what has happened to your car. You have gone through some pretty insightful lessons on these blogs and I know everything will work out for the best in the end. Trust your intuition with the car situation. $140 a month is so high for insurance but this lesson just made me realize that is what I am paying to park at the meter for a whole month in the loop and maybe I need to take public transportation to work. Thanks for the lesson! See it definitely has a trickle down effect: )

Thank you. I’m looking into Philly Car Share or Zip Car. Plus, I can walk to 30th street station. The more I talk about it, the more it seems like a no-brainer.

Sorry to hear that.
I worry about my car every time I have to leave it for any extended period of time.

But you might be on to something. It may be better for now to sell the car off… unless you like to escape the city on weekends.
