I am so angry. At myself and one other!

I am so sorry you had to experience this ((((Sabrina)))), of all people, but how wonderful to have such a loving husband.

So sorry my friend...........

The gym phoned me yesterday to tell me that the "stolen" items had been traced. Instead of being left at lost property, they were left in another office and days went by before anyone realized they were lost property. Never mind! Hubby still says it is money well spent! I will give the old gloves to my son and hubby can use my old seat on his bike. I'm thinking I went through all that heartache for nothing but at least I can stop thinking that some person out there stole them.

What a relief.....to remove the thought that someone stole from you.....that definitely has to be a good feeling. It is sad how disorganized some places can be....but think you said they were a little gym & in the throws of being remodeled.....guess that might have added to their disorganization.

Breathing a sigh of relief.

Sabrina, I really, really hate this for you. I envy your ability to go to the gym at all, but this is a terrible loss for you, especially as a gift. Don't be angry at yourself, but don't be afraid to post your anger, righteously, at the person who took your items. I once left a $700 TENS Unit, which I had put in an old sack, at a car wash. Luckily, it was quite a while before I missed it, so I was only put out at myself and could only hope that someone found it that knew what it was and how to use it. However, it was not a gift, and that makes all the difference. What if you went back to the gym and asked around. Someone might be willing to admit that they found your things, or you might recognize them! billieJ

Thanks billij but if you read my post just above Eskielover's, you will see that the items have been recovered. As Eskie says, at least I can remove the thought that someone stole from me!

Happy to know that you have your belongings back! ((((((((((Sabrina)))))))))

The part of being separated from my belongings without my knowledge, has always the suspicions that wreak havoc with my feelings toward others.

The return of these items restores most of my faith in others, but somewhat worse for wear.

I'm glad for you they were not stolen as originally thought. I do so hurt for your heartache. I like to think there was something good that came of this. Of course you may never know what that was. I do imagine it made an impression of some sort on your child.

Hugs to you! I'm glad you talked about it here. We love you!!

"I like to think there was something good that came of this."

One good thing did! I learned that my husband is compassionate and caring and only has my best interests at heart. I was afraid to tell him but he never showed an ounce of anger towards me or even the slightest "it's your own fault" attitude. And then he went and replaced the items for me with no thought to the money being spent. This whole incident showed my our absolutely kind my husband is!!

And yes, my son learns from all of this!
