our car was stolen this weekend, along with a bunch of my guy's personal belongings.

it wasn't even a new car too. it was an old Japanese right hand drive that he imported and custom built for more than a year. a souped up island ride, if you will.

he'd just gotten into a new ocean sport and all the equipment he got is now gone. 

and the list of things we've gotta do to prevent identity theft, secure accounts, and protect our home (they have our keys now) is a mile long.

life is hitting people pretty hard these days; the fear and desperation is growing. they're taking more drugs. they're taking more risks. they're taking more of people's things. 

not sure what to do with these emotions yet, but it's hard not to feel super violated. 

also an interesting lesson in opsec, and realizing just how much is at stake when a stranger has your phone and ID. 

pls send positive vibes, we’ll need ‘em this week!

they found our car!!!! 

a bunch of stuff is missing, one section's kinda banged up, and we have to re-key, but otherwise in good shape.

thanks so much to everyone for all your support and kind words. pretty stoked 😄

we live on an island so you'd think it'd be easy ... but there are apparently SO many places to hide a car here.
