I went out to my rental car this morning to find the passenger window smashed and my Colombia jacket and Tomtom charger missing. There was glass all over the street and in the car. A kind man walking by offered to call the police for me, and explained that they wanted me to drive the car to the center of town to fill out a report. When I got there, there were three other people there in line with broken windows in their cars. Apparently this is quite common. Anyway, they couldn't speak any English and asked me to drive to the NATO base and talk with the police there. So I spent the morning giving my statement to the police, only to have them say that I "shouldn't expect to get my stuff back." I kinda figured that would be the case, but it was difficult to hear from them.
Unfortunately since absolutely nothing is open on Sundays out here, I have to wait until tomorrow morning to get the car back to the rental office. I'm not sure how the insurance works, but hopefully this doesn't come out of my pocket. The worst part is that now I'm without transportation again. I could drive a short distance, but there is so much glass in the car that I can't take anyone or anything with me. I guess I'll just sit in my coworkers place and watch more movies....

Oh no! That sucks dude! I have had stuff stolen from my car too and it blows. Luckily I just left the doors open so they didn't break the window :-)
Passport time today :-) I'm coming in July - make sure to know french really well by then so you can translate everything for me :-P
Guess what I did today Keith??????? Step one - get passport step two - go to Belgium on the 26th of July! :-)
I admit I flew to Belgium to steal your jacket. Unfortunately I busted up a wrong car or two before I found the right one. What can I say, I was bored.
Would you be willing to sell it - i'll buy it off of you :-P
