Bad Judge of Character
Okay, so a little more about the robbery. Most of you were right on when you said I should take a look at my "friends". What happened was a few weeks ago I was at an NA Meeting, it was a Tuesday night and this girl that I never saw before walks in, sits in the chair next to me and proceeds to cry through the whole meeting. I felt sorry for her. She was obviously in pain, so my friend Sari and I introduced ourselves, gave her our number and told her about some other good meetings. Her name is Traci. She started to call me here and there and she also started to show up at some of the meetings I told her about. The next Tuesday she brought her mom and her husband to the meeting, so I met them both, they both seemed like really nice people. Fast forward to this past weekend, it was a Friday night and we all went out to eat after the meeting. Traci tags along with us to eat and then after that we were all going bowling. She didn't want to go by herself, so I let her come to my house where I changed my clothes, went to the bathroom, grabbed some socks and then we headed out. She was there a total of about 10 minutes. I think while she was there, she was scoping out the place. She knew that my roommate was out of town and she saw that I go in and out of the house through the garage door. I don't ever use the front door. I think she actually unlocked the front door while she was there.
The next day, Saturday, I got up to run some errands and she called while I was out. She was wondering how long I was going to be cause she wanted to hang out. I come home and I realize my house has been robbed. The front door was unlocked, no windows had been broken or anything and the person went straight for my stuff. It was definitely her. She even had her phone cut off the next day.
I'm such a bad judge of character. This is why I rarely ever have anyone over to my house. I never know who to trust and when I do trust someone, I usually get hurt.
So, I guess I'll be heading to the mall this weekend to try to replace some of the stuff that was stolen. I'll probably buy like two new Bebe Sweatsuits and I need to get a new pair of brown boots since she stole those too. Of course, I wear a size 4 and this chick wears about a size 20, so I don't know why she stole my clothes. I'm guessing you can get money for those sweatsuits if you go to a vintage store or something. I think you can sell them on E-Bay too. Whatever. This chick has 2 kids too! What a great role model huh?
She also took the bags of clothes I had in the garage that I was going to give to goodwill. Weird.

Seriously, give me that phone number and I'll find her for you. I specialize in internet research and um, stalking.

Wow, that's crazy to have someone so blatantly rob you like that. Sorry to hear that happened to you.
February 28, 2008
Damn! It sure does sound like she was behid it but how do you know it was her for sure. Granted it probably was and it sounds like it was her but how do you know definitively?
I hope you go after that heffer.

What a skank -- that's just so disappointing to hear. You were trying to help and be a friend and look what happened. I think it's so messed up when people take advantage of true, caring people. Well, I believe karma will be paying her a visit! Have you heard from her at all?
February 28, 2008
Such a shame that had to happen to you, sweetie. That chick is scum.

I don't suppose you'll ever see her at another meeting, either. Then, you'll be even more certain.

That sucks, Carmen. Please don't let it stop you from helping other people...maybe more cautious, but I think you do a lot of good things for people and one rotten apple shouldn't ruin the pie...(whatever that means...LOL)
PS...Can we get pictures of you in the new sweatsuits??? :P
February 28, 2008
Wow. I am so sorry. I don't think you are a bad judge of character. You are just too caring and too kind hearted. You might have to be a bit more careful about who you take under your wing. It sucks that you got screwed when trying to help someone else. You deserve better.

Would the people who host the meetings have her contact info? Address, email, full name, etc?
If they do, maybe you can at least try and track her down and eventually sick the police on her.

That is crazy Carmen, how devious some people are...it really makes you think. I hope things pick up for you, there's nothing like a new shopping spree in the mall to sort things out! GL.

Wow...that is just awful. Keep an eye on ebay for the stuff to go up there. Remember, criminals are usually not that bright. I hope you find her and get everything back and she's prosecuted. Good luck and hang in there!

dang; hate people like that. take advantage of you and make you wonder if you should even make friends. have someone track her down and make her regret what she did (and I don't mean bodily threat by Don! there are other more subtle ways :o)

When I was actively going to meetings I was really cautious about giving out where I lived or my last name. Phone number was fine. I know youre supposed to work with someone if they are hurting but I also feel they have to prove they want it.
Remember what you lost is just stuff and most of it can be replaced. I dont mean to downplay and I know you feel violated. I would too. Do you or MD have a renter's policy? You might be able to get some compensation back.
The thief will get what they deserve. Remember what goes around comes around.

There is some great stuff on Craigslist...

If you have a phone number, even if it's dead, you can most likely get info on her. Once you have that, there are ways with dealing with assholes who steal from you.

what a sick bitch. I wonder if she does this regularly.
Let's kick her ass.
