violation

well, to end a perfectly fun trip...we were in vancouver just for the day...parked and went into a mall...when we came back, jeff and kelly's car had been broken into..suitcases...gone...laptop...gone...jeff's backpack with passports.....gone...can you believe it???? that's crummy...so, we had to go to the police...while they were inside the station...i watched the babies in the car...in the worst part of town...it was sort of scary...it was not a safe spot...even though i was right in front of the police station....so, then we are rushing to the airport...they get there...through many, many delays..they actually got on the plane....kelly said the passport guy thought they were joking when they said they had no passports...so everyone got home safe and sound...i feel so bad though because kelly lost all her new birthday clothes, etc. etc. etc...it's such a violation...these thieves do more than steal your belongings..they ruin your life for the next few weeks, while you try to put everything back together..so, now, they have to get their passports, because we are leaving on monday....
