Just for refrence, my car was parked in the space closest to us where there is no car parked in the picture.
Jonathan ran and errond at night in the mini van and took the truck to work the next morning. I woke up and being Friday didn't have to take Asher to school so it was after Jon got home from work that I went out to get into the mini van. Our Garmin GPS (1.5 months old), my two day old cell phone I had never used and Christmas presents for the Fisher Family had been stolen out of our car. I know right. I don't feel safe in my home. Know why? BECAUSE I WAS HOME THE WHOLE TIME!
I can't believe I didn't hear anything. My dogs are always barking so I probably just ignored it. So I call the police and they came out to take a report. The officer told me because the dollar amount lost was not substantial he would not take any finger prints. In fact, he outright refused and told me I would have to hire a private detective. He gave me the case number and drove away. I was stunned. I called a P.I. as he suggested. It's just that the one I called works for the Provo Police Department and told me protocal. He gave me a number to call for the shift LT. or the supervisor. I called and told him what happened and he was stunned that the officer that responded didn't take prints because, according to the supervisor, he had a fingerprint kit in his car. Let me repeat that.. HE HAD IT IN HIS CAR! The supervisor was further surprised when I told him that the responding officer didn't even look inside my car. He stayed on the sidewalk by his patrol car. Keep reading..it gets better.
In order for the perp to get my Garmin and the suction cup thing off the front windsheild, there had to be contact with the window. To get in the car there had to be contact with the door and handle etc. So when the supervisor sent the officer back out to fingerprint my car he dusted the outside of the front windshield, and both doors on the outside excluding the handle. When I got home from the errond I was running in the truck I got in the mini van to see what I could see, such and fingerprint powder, etc. There was a beautiful full index fingerprint on the inside of the window right next to the circle print left by the sucktion cup. Right where I said it would be.
How bout we make this even better yet. When taking my statement I told him who I thought did this. My neighbor let her older sons move back in the house. Along with them came a not so good friend. I gave his information to the officer who looked it up on his computer. It even pulled up his picture. He jotted something down on his report and that was that. He didn't go ask anybody at the neighbors house to see if they had seen the kid, nothing.
Okay. Lets count our blessing because this is the holidays and all. He didn't come inside. My kids and I were alright. But I'll tell you what, Jonathan doesn't even feel like he can run an errond to the auto parts store leaving tools and parts outside with the garage door open anymore. As a result, I have got to three different auto parts stores tonight four different times.
