An unfortunate thing happened the other day. An associate of went to a doctor's appointment. He was a little bit frazzled as he was in a rush. That does what on the seat of his vehicle. For some reason decided to throw a blanket over which left a noticeable bulge. After spending at least one and a half at the doctors appointment. He came out to find that is the had been broken into. Driver's-side window had been smashed, and wallet had been stolen. Needless to say he was fit to be tied. There wasn't much to be said that would calm him down. Once we found out that there were several hundred dollars in the wallet, now understand why he was in such stress.
