When we returned to the car, ready to go, we found the driver's window smashed, and my wife's purse gone. Purse contents included: about $300 in cash, plus some checks made out to my wife (she is self-employed), credit cards, checkbook, equity line checkbook, kids social security cards, wife's keys. Oddly enough, what remained in the car were my briefcase with this laptop in it, the kids DVD player system, all our luggage, and the actual stuff we bought shopping.
Now we're stuck another night in DC, getting the window fixed tomorrow AM, and have to cancel all the credit cards. Luckily one credit card wasn't in her purse, and I have that one that we can use for everything else for the rest of our trip (if we even continue the trip - we may just go home).
This just totally sucks.
Your sympathy and other "life sucks" stories may now follow.
