Unlucky Fourth of July Weekend!

So I was kind of excited for the 4th this year since it was going to be the first time in 4 years that we have been in Utah for the holiday, and also the first time that Bubba wasn't working all day. However, at the last minute, Bubba ended up having to go resolve some issues in one of his offices so he left on the 3rd and had to be gone for the holiday. Bummer. He promised he would be home before Sunday though and got a flight that would come in late Saturday night. So Saturday afternoon, he calls me and tells me that his rental car got broken into and all of his stuff was gone. Yep, ALL of it! The weird thing is that he didn't have anything visible since all of it was in the trunk so I don't know why someone broke into his car...especially in the middle of a Costco parking lot! Anyways, all of his tools, his laptop, his GPS, digital camera, suitcase (with all of his clothes), phone chargers, etc....it was all gone. He had to file a police report and deal with paperwork at the car rental place, but still managed to catch his flight which ended up being delayed so then he missed his connecting flight and was stuck in Minneapolis for the night. He flew home today but had to wait for someone to bring a set of spare car keys up to the airport since his car keys were in his laptop bag that was stolen. So he got home this afternoon with nothing but his phone and his wallet....at least his phone didn't get stolen again! This is the 4th time in just over a year that we have had stuff stolen from us....what is the deal?!!!

wow, you must be a magnet for that kind of stuff. That is just not fun though. Did you have a good 4th besides all of that?

I'm sorry that all of that happened during your holiday. Dave got his wallet and phone stolen on our honeymoon so we know how that goes.

I cannot believe that happened to you guys! That is so weird. Did he have rental car insurance? I'm sorry it was such a bummer 4th of July for you. I'll try to give you a call sometime soon!
