That would make sense as I was certain that I locked my doors. And as someone said, there had to be a vehicle because my bag was relatively heavy, especially since it had compounds in as well.

Thanks everyone for all the positive vibes. Your kind words have helped brighten up my day a bit.

PM me your address and I can send donations to help recoup the cost.

I'm usually a calm and compassionate individual, however I can't stand thieves and I'm right there with you.

Sorry to hear about your stuff getting snagged

. It's unfortunate how easily people can get away with theft like that.

Ya know, stuff like this just torques my shorts!

That said, sorry for your mishap, BUT do file a police report.

Quickie LAPD story...Back in about 1962 or so, our garage was broken into. They only got a lot of hand tools. Fast forward to 1965. I was on leave and was visiting my folks. Phone rings (yea, they did 'ring' back then), LAPD. They have some stolen items, etc. I run down to Van Nuys Station, lo and behold...ALL of our tools were there! Tools that I'm still using to this day.

It took some time, but LAPD did come thru.

Wow, that's almost impossible to believe! For one, that 3 years later your tools were all in one place and that the police were able to identify them as your tools, and for two, how old you are!

PS Just a little busting from one old guy to another!
