Did that really happen?

So.... our Trailblazer was stolen right from our driveway last night. POOF. It just vanished. We are in the works of dealing with the cops and insurance for now, we'll keep ya posted. Let's pray it gets recovered (in the same condition we left it), with Ada's carseat and stroller, so we can just all be on our merry way!

UPDATE: The car was recovered- in the ghetto of South Houston late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. We assumed it was just taken for a joy ride and dumped in a parking lot, but the friendly officer who called to tell us where it was being towed mentioned there was SOMEONE IN IT! Boo-yeah! That dude's in jail for Grand Theft Auto!! When we picked it up, everything was still in the car (except a $75 insurance reimbursement that was going towards HOA and Christmas savings, but whatever); but it was TRASHED. Any identification (A&M decal, dealership decals) were scratched off; the back windshield wiper was snapped off; there was beer EVERYWHERE (including Ada's carseat- we are just going to keep the new one Grandma and Grandpa bought for us, and they are going to take Ada's old one and get it cleaned off- I just get too irked knowing that thugs were sitting right next to my baby's safe haven with pink flowers on it!); and it reeks of smoke and "miscellaneous" substances. The cops were very interested to know if we kept any weapons in the car, so I'm convinced these were more than just kids who came upon a car with a hide-a-key- I think they were being very naughty in our Trailblazer. We're just so blessed they didn't use the garage door opener to open the garage and walk right into the hallway with Ada's room attached to it. Pray that there are no underlying mechanical problems- but it appears to be OK!! Whew!
