Welcome to the hood (Take 2)

Lovely weekend which even included some suntanning! (The sun finally made a brief appearance only to be replaced today AGAIN by the rain) Anyway, did some more gardening and went to our favourite restaurant - the cuban place etc etc blah blah blah

And then....

this morning The Band's car was stolen.

Fortunately for my state of mind it was not stolen from our house.

Here's what happened:

The Band left this morning for the week - he's gone to bloem.

On the way (at like 4.50) he dropped off his car at a friend's house for the friend to use. At like 5.20 the friend went outside and the car was gone.

Anyone seen a white Isuzu double cab lying about?

The bad news is that we purchased the car through vehicle financing so it looks like even after insurance we will still OWE R30K AND not have a car. How rough is that???

Gutted. It feels like you are just crawling out of a hole and you get shoved into a deeper one. I am pretty frikken depressed. There go my plans for FINALLY doing up my lounge and much much much worse.... there go my plans for a WONDERFUL December holiday up to vic falls and mozambique. ("I will not cry, I will not cry, I will not cry")

This is not a sad thing. It is not even a scary thing. It is just an incredibly UNFAIR thing and that makes it so frustrating.

Oh no Caz!! That is seriously unfair...do you think there is any chance they may find it?! Insurance for the most part is a rip-off.

Hectic. That is truly kak. Stellies is not too big though. Maybe they'll recover it. More prayers heading your way.

That sucks so much - so sorry to hear that happened.

Really hope you start having some good luck - as they say everything happens for a reason :)

Yupe....that pretty much sucks. I didn't know Isuzu made a double cab......then again, they don't sell Isuzu's in the states anymore.

Zee said...

Ouch - I am sooo sorry.

That like so sucks. It is such an ugly, empty, hollow feeling....

It will get better..
