I'm working a strange shift, heading for work about 0230.

I go out this morning and notice the radar detector cord is hanging down. Detector is gone. At first, I thought it had fallen down.

Then I notice that 2 of my driving gear bags are gone. Damn ... the HANS, suit, helmet, gloves, nomex underwear, shoes ... everything.

That is all just stuff ... what is irreplaceable is the notebook inside the bag that had 3 years of track notes.

This new truck is cursed, I tell you ... I'll have to wait till daylight and the rain to stop to see if the truck itself was damaged.

I guess I'll have to change my habits ... I always have my gear in the truck. Never know when I'll wind up at the track and have an "oppurtunity".

But, depending on what insurance says, my season might have ended before it even began.

After some long thought, I am becoming more convinced of just that.

I was going through my console and saw the card that has the pass code for the keypad door locks on it.
A few days ago, I sent my truck, with all the gear in the back, through a car wash.

I think it's worth mentioning to Deputy Luckie, one of Hood County's finest.

Keep in mind also folks, that I live in a rather rural, established area that has virtually NO crime.
The deputy said mine was the firs case he's worked in this area in the 8 years he's been on the force and he rarely sees reports about crime in this area.
That's no excuse for being rather non-challant about the security of my stuff. But I am falling back on complacency.

Maybe that's why I'm not real upset about the whole situation. I know there were/are steps I could have taken to prevent it from happening.
But we are describing a vehicle that someone opened and took stuff out of the vehicle and stuff didn't belong to them.
