December 18th, 2010 - 9th Day

Saturday, and it was a doozy!  I woke up late (it's always good to sleep in when it's cold and rainy, and it's a Saturday, it's like a triple threat, or triple treat).  As Nicole and Kaylee and I left to the gym Nicole couldn't find her purse, and I noticed my car door was open.  We went to the gym, and when we got back, our neighbors knocked on our door, and they had Nicole's debit card, and a few of her cards from her wallet.   It hit us, Nicole had been robbed.  She had left her purse in the van and I drove home, and didn't lock the van.    Two thiefs broke into our cars and stole Nicole's purse, then threw the purse on the ground and took her wallet.  Luckily, we found all the cards, but we never found the wallet.  We called the police.  They had apprehended the criminals, and had them in custody.  Two men, ages 21 and 23, had broken into 16 cars, and stolen everything they could get their hands on.  Then, they stole a car, and got caught!  So, needless to say it was an exciting afternoon. Nicole and I then went to see her mother in the hospital, and then I took Nicole clothes shopping at Dillards.  The clerks were all super nice.  The nicer we were to them, the nicer they were to us.  We had quite an enjoyable evening.  Then, Amber called and she was heading down to see us today, but she didn't get out of Idaho in time, so she decided to stay in Provo.  However, when she got to Provo, she realized that she left all of her clothes in her apartment and the management of the apartment said that anything left over would go to Desert Industries!  So, Amber is sad, and we are sad for her.  Things I learned today.  1st, Dillards is WAY more expensive then Walmart.  2nd, Dillards is WAY more expensive then Walmart.  3rd, Dillards has nicer stuff then Walmart.  4th, at Christmas time, it's not good to rip off stuff out of people's cars, you should just politely knock on their door and say, "Can we have some cash?".  People are so giving at Christmas, you're likely to get it, and you won't have to spend any time in jail.   5th, Most of the people shopping at Dillards look like they spend more on the clothes they are wearing then I make in a month!  6th, if you're a student and you get all your clothes sent to DI, don't go shopping at Dillards to replace them, you won't have any money left for tuition!
