Life lesson #856

Life’s lessons are usually painful as Drool can tell you. He went to the fair last night with a couple friends and his cell phone and wallet lifted out of his back pocket. He is very choked. Flip called Drool’s cell phone provider last night. He had a lovely round of circle conversations with an automated machine. The conversation as I heard it, “No, no, no, no, yes…” then he rolled his eyes and said aside to me, “I’m back to the main menu….. no, no, no, no, yes.” I hope the jerks didn’t make too many calls before he got the phone disconnected. We know they are jerks because they actually called Drool’s voice mail and taunted him, “Ha Haaa we stole your phone, ha ha.” Nothing like a little salt in the wound.
Today I drove Drool around as we tried to get everything sorted out. When we went to the bank to get a new bankcard for Drool the ladies at the bank noticed that the jerks had withdrawn $100.00 from his account. Drool was adamant that he hadn’t given his pin to anyone. The bank must have asked him a dozen times, “Who has your pin number? Who have you given the number to?” Drool did waver a bit no one has his pin number.
Drool's phone was a brand new Razor with a three-year contract. To cancel his plan they told us would be $400. The cheapest new phone they have in store is $100. Not a Razor phone the worst phone in the store $100. He aready has a plan so no deals for him. So if any one has an old bell phone kicking around I think we might be able to find a good home for it.
We went and filed a police report and then on the way home I was grilling Drool, “You didn’t give your pin to any one, its not stored in your phone anywhere?” The one thing he did think of was a couple of weeks ago he did banking through his phone and he keyed his pin number in. The Razor stores your out going calls. This is the only thing we can think of on how they would have gotten his pin. It's been a tough day for Drool he knows the police are going to be disintrested, so he would just like to get his hands the guys who did this. The word of the day is frustration.
