The previous post was written before I actually come home...Here's the rest of the story...
So - I was stupid, I know. The wallet was on the outside of the backpack. I didn't turn around when I perceived someone behind me. I was carrying a really heavy suitcase up the 'L' stairs. But, stealing is wrong (says the moral deacon!). But it happens - especially to wallets. Especially at 'L' stops.
Driver's license, 3 credit cards, SS card, no cash. Thanks to Si's help, the credit cards were cancelled within 30 minutes.
The saddest part - 10 library cards. My whole collection, gone... Darn it! What would the thief do with those???? Check out books???? Most of them wouldn't even work for him! Or, he would have to travel very long distances to check anything out. "Road trip to Metairie anyone?"
Oh - wait, even better - 7 frequent flyer cards. Maybe he'll give me some points as he flies to check out books!
So - on that note, I end my travels. Tomorrow, I call the credit bureaus and the Secretary of State's office.
Then, back to the books and papers and reflections...

What would we do with another Heather?
