I've been waiting for this check to go through I had sent to pay off my Ikea bill (for my fabulous new couch that I'm still totally in love with!), but it had been taking a long time and I was starting to get a little concerned. Sure enough, I check my account yesterday and there is, instead of the check for Ikea, a $490 charge to Sears. WTF.
Apparently, its not a very good idea to leave bills in your mailbox for the post man to pick up in this neighborhood. Obviously someone must have stolen my mail and the check and used my account and routing number to pay off their own bill!! I spent 2 hours on the phone with my bank, Sears, and the PDX police. UGh. What a nightmare! My bank reassures me that I'll get the money refunded. I seriously hope this person is caught because I don't want anyone to get away with stealing over $400 from me that easily. I don't want people to think that its okay to steal someone's mail and their account! I feel so violated. And foolish for leaving my mail in my mailbox!?
My aunt died on Monday. We are going up for the funeral on Saturday.

Ugh Kim! That is terrible, about everything. I was wondering where our phone date went today! But, now I completely understand. I hope you get the money back as well, and I'm sure you will. What the fuck is wrong with people? Seriously, I don't know why it is so hard to just be a decent person in this world. Oh, did I tell you girls? The subletter had a little shit dog in our apartment, and the bastard peed absolutely everywhere, seriously, EVERYWHERE. Now, our dumbbass subletter won't pay to get the apartment cleaned (our BRAND NEW apartment)...oh, and to top it off, she shoved it's little shits into our gutter. She's a wonderful person.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a lot of anger where I didn't intend it to be. Just know I feel ya Kim, getting taken advantage of is the worst.
I also really hope your family is doing ok. How is the other aunt? And the family of the one that just passed away?
Sending lots of love.
