The day after

 Both of us up by 5 a.m. again this morning - Bill went back to bed. I'm trying to get motivated to do something...it is now 6:05 and the AC just came on. UGH. 

Have contacted both RV insurance and Home Owners insurance. Have claim number from RV ins but waiting for them to call us. Have not heard from home owners yet. But we are not sure what personal items are missing it is such a mess in there. We know tools and shoes and some electronics are gone. Outside compartments were emptied. Some of the stuff was in the thieves car, but we know some things that are missing that weren't in the car and don't think they are in the RV. Went over to the dealership this morning. The main door of RV lock is broken so door cannot be opened, steps will not retract and of course generator is out and ignition is broken. Again not sure what else.

I'm going to write a very strong letter to the Community Manager and the owners of this "gated security community" we live in. But going to calm down some first. I called the community manager - waste of time. Oh I'm so sorry. But I don't write the checks for security. We are trying to get cameras at the gates and maybe gates for the RV parking but but but...But they sure raise the fees every year with no problem. 

I cannot give the people who live on the street where the jerks were stripping the RV enough thank yous. Some one called the police right away when they heard the noise. Also one of the neighbors out walking his dog brought us and the policeman bottles of ice cold water. And offered help with anything else we needed. The tow truck driver who could not tow the RV took it upon himself to take the generator  completely out of its broken housing and carried it to the back where he moved things around so there was room for it in the big back storage compartment. The policeman stayed with us the whole time. He took everything we could identify as ours out of the thieves car and put it in the RV. They all made a bad experience tolerable. 

We are thinking there was another car or truck involved as we are missing quite a few things that we can think of. Unless they are under some of the mess. One of  things we didn't see is this beautiful box Bill made me to hold pencils, post its, etc.  He says he will make me another one. 

I finally got busy and did some cleaning, with all the sewing there were threads all over the house. Think I got them all vacuumed up. I don't wear shoes in the house, just socks and every tiny bit of thread sticks to them till they fall off on another area of carpet. 

I haven't heard back from the vehicle insurance, but have sent them most of the paper work they need. Now I'm going to watch Race Hub - see what they have to say about yesterdays disaster of a race. The curbs on the track came up and tore up a whole bunch of race cars. What a mess.
