Samuel Mateo, Jr.

I get woken up at 5:40AM by my father telling me to call the police because my car’s been broken into and they took everything. Vandals had gotten to my stuff and my sister’s car as well. They didn’t steal anything from her car, just a busted window.

They stole my Complete in car Audio/Video System worth over $600 w/o the labor costs, but I wasn’t too worried bout that, insurance will take care of that. In severing the wires I think they also messed up a few things in the electrical system. My rear wiper isn’t working and my key less entry system is shot.

What bothered me the most was that I had all my Xmas gifts in the car and those are gone as well. I believe they went in for the gifts and then took everything else. I also had a friend’s computer in there. But you couldn’t see it unless you where to open the door. That’s also another worry. My friend had entrusted me with this computer so I could fix it and now it’s gone.

The insurance company has already told me the gifts and computer are not covered. This freaking sucks! My Xmas is now ruined. The only gifts left to buy (Fiance, father, sisters, future in-laws) are now not going to be as good as I wanted them to be because I have to buy all the other gifts again.

I know the value of the gift is not the importance of Xmas but I really wanted to do something nice. I have no idea what to do now. My Xmas is ruined. This has happened to me before but not at this scale. I really need to move out of this city. I can’t take another incident like this.
