Dang. That stinks. Hopefully it won’t be too hard to replace.

Such a bummer. We had the same thing happen to us a few months ago, on the one night we forgot to lock the car. They took our change for tolls, as well as the ashtray it was in, and rifled through all of our stuff. Apparently they don’t think much of Bob Dylan, though, because all of our CDs were safe. Sorry about your husband’s phone! Did he have insurance?

Those lazy burglars are a product of today’s economy. We had a rash of car thefts in our town over the summer. My husband lost his GPS and an ashtray full of change. They looked at his music but didn’t like classical – everything is still there.

We’re locking the car doors all the time now.

May there always be burglars indeed. I love that story.

We had some teenagers steal my son’s wagon from our patio. Luckily my hubby was able to get it back since they just abandoned it. Nice of them to steal from a 14 month old!

Oh no, too bad about the phone. That Sam’s a hoot!

I’ve tried Georgette Hyer and just can’t get into her books. Something about the characters… Perhaps it’s better in audiobook format?

Oh, bummer. At least it was something replaceable that got stolen. I never leave my knitting in the car for that reason–the car can be replaced, ditto most of what’s inside, but my project and the hours of my life that went into it cannot!

I love Georgette Heyer. She’s one of those authors that you can’t believe you’ve missed and are thrilled that she was so prolific. Favorites: The Grand Sophy, The Foundling, The Toll-Gate (which is more a mystery). Enjoy!

Oh, I worked my through Georgette Heyer in my very early teens thanks to the wisdom of a Children’s Librarian who shepherded me into the adult section of our wonderful library and got me a special card. Obviously, I was an inveterate bookworm, no cool at all, but I loved those books although I haven’t thought of them in decades. What a wonderful pairing — Georgette Heyer books on tape and colourwork flying through your fingers. I’ll cross my fingers you can get the tapes you want and enjoy. (although I guess if there were finger-crossing to be done, it should have been done in time to save your guy’s phone — sorry about that!)
