I can’t believe it!!
On Tuesday night, I was in Milwaukee for a business meeting. Now, this was a very unique day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The climate in Milwaukee changed dramatically in a matter of hours. It was approximately 40 degrees the day before, and on Tuesday, the temperate dropped to below 0; literally! WTF?!
So I ask you, why the hell is someone outside scoping out cars to rob in freezing weather?!
As I was getting ready for bed, the hotel called me and told me someone had broken into my car. I went down stairs and discovered my driver side window had been busted open, and my GPS had been stolen; DOH! I was an idiot to leave my GPS system hanging on the windshield. It was a Garmin Nuvi 200 I had recently gotten after Christmas. =( I loved that thing. Being a stranger in Wisconsin, it has been a life saver.
Lesson learned…

1Hey Dennis, sorry to hear that. Once Christmas came around I started taking mine down from my windshield when at places like the mall and similar parking garages. Glad to hear your doing well otherwise!

2Sorry about that. But that wasn’t an unusual day in Milwaukee. What would be unusual is if the weather services had predicted it would happen more than 2 hours before it did. Down to 6 hours, odds are about 50% they’d be correct.
Temperature swings surprise us daily. And often. As to the theft….sorry about that too. There is a strong, I-see-it, I-want-it culture growing. Very sad.

4The Nuvi 200 is a nice GPS unit sorry to hear about it getting stolen. You would think that GPS manufatures would create a built in ET phone home capability. Its not as if it doesn’t know where it is.

6A year ago somebody broke into my car too. I was so furious because I had bought the car one week before it had happened.
