Hello Officer...

So last night I went with my friend Sharon to Goodwill in hopes to find a left handed glove. 

We ended up joining a city league thanks to an invite from another mom we met at the pool while swimming with our girls. One problem was that I had zero equipment for it. .. so to Goodwill it was.

45 minutes (and this gem) later..

 we walked out with smiles on our faces, and no glove in hand.

Sharon had outdoor play mats for Amilia in her hand, and I had a brand spankin' new glider chair in mine. I'm embarrassed and SHOCKED to confess that my initial thought once buying it was, 

"YES! My second child is going to be a breeze!" 

As we loaded it into the car I'm 95% sure I set my wallet onto of the car in order to free up a hand to help guide the chair into the back seat. 

Next stop was Play it again sports. Because we still needed to find a glove.

It was closed. But right across the street was a Sonic Drive-In. Cha-Ching!

and when it was time to pay, I remembered. 

MY WALLET! ugh...

Once Sharon paid for our food we retraced our route and found nothing! SO SAD.

I got home and immediately canceled all of my cards. (You can imagine Chris was displeased, but not surprised by the news) heh.

 In the morning I called to make a police report and was told they'd have a sheriff dispatched to come speak with me. 

"Wait, what?! Like you're going to have someone come to my house?!"

"Yes, ma'am to help assess the situation."

"oh okay..."

I was shocked. Orange County sure does takes care of its residents. 

5 minutes later I had a Sheriff standing in our apartment questioning me on my whereabouts last night. 

Never expected that to happen this year! 

She was super nice and looked into the surrounding city departments to see if any wallet was reported as found. No such luck. She left me with a reference number of my report and a pamphlet on identity left. Which didn't quite leave me with a sense of relief, but at least I'll be informed about it, if ever I do have to deal with it. (knock on wood)

I hope I've learned my lesson to NEVER, never ever set my personal belongings down where they could be left behind. It's not worth it. 

(Have I ever mentioned my 2 month old brand new video camera I was given for my birthday/Christmas gift I set down on a table so I could eat a hotdog...? yeah, that's long gone, too)

NOT WORTH IT!

So please. Do yourself a favor and keep your purse on your shoulder, and all your goods inside of it! 

I can only hope my wallet turns up sooner than later, cause I'd really like to use my Disneyland Annual Pass again. ;)
