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.

List complied, police report finalized and insurance claim sent. Now it's a waiting game ...

I had no idea of the replacement costs of all that stuff. I've been blessed and gotten a lot of it on the cheap or even free. Replacing it is expensive.

Anecdote:
While picking up the police report, the lady at records asked me what nomex DIVING gloves were.
I explained that it was DRIVING gloves, not DIVING gloves.
She retorted Oh ... I was curiuos why you needed fire-proof gloves under water.

30 minutes later I had a revised police report.
