So, here's what happened tonight, And yet another reason why people suck Options

[ChefMKT]

My sister works at an unemployment agency, helping people find jobs. So she has this client (let's call her Jill), asking for financial help for her job interview. My sister gives her a petrol voucher and some money. Anyway, after work she went out shopping. Suddenly, WHAT THE FUCK HER PURSE IS MISSING. Jill had stolen her purse. By the time she found out her credit card had racked up over $1000. Now this is where it kicks into overdrive.

She filed a police report, giving all the details of her client. Yes, that's right. Jill stole from a person who not only tried to help her, but knowing all of her personal details too. Here's the real kicker. In order for further investigation to continue, there needs to be some kind of evidence that it was stolen by this person. Lo and behold, someone at the agency (let's call him Bob) saw Jill looking through my sister's drawer. He did not say a fucking thing until after all this happened. Real wonderful eh?

Anyway, not only the credit card was in the purse, there was practically everything else minus the passport. License, ATM card, health insurance card. Everything. Half the stuff bought was clothes, no clue what the other half is. I do know about $100 worth was spent at various petrol stations. I have to say it's really hard to stand on the sidelines being unable to do anything aside from this, but the police does sympathize with what just happened and took a special interest in this (The people living across from us are crazy and are always causing domestic disturbances). I'll keep you guys updated on anything later that unfolds. Tomorrow, my sister is going to get a printed bank statement of the credit card usage at time of stolen and some more card cancelling.

Way to go, universe.

It's interesting how all of these silly incidents are happening around the same time. My school was on lockdown today for like three hours because some kids were planning to bring guns to school and shoot people. Four different police departments were called to our school, and they found a gun above a ceiling panel in one of the school bathrooms.

Here's my story too. My mother might need to have surgery on her neck, and she'd have to be out of work for 6 weeks.

She's trying to get a second opinion that says "lol surgery? try something easier first."

UPDATE: The person that stole my sister's wallet had gone to the main bank in the city and withdrew money from the savings account most likely by using the license. Lots of stuff has happened now.

The workers in the bank now have to undergo retraining because of this. It's their fault they didn't spot the thief.

Because she now has stolen from the bank directly, now the bank is involved in the case and will definitely heighten the efforts of the police.

Further concrete evidence of fraud with the surveillance cameras in the bank.

Of course, the bank is stupid enough to not freeze the bank accounts as well until this happened.

More hassle with ringing everything linked to the accounts such as payroll, paypal, internet sites, tax office etc.

Considering it's the long weekend, I do believe that the thief will be on another spending spree somewhere. It's only a matter of time before they're caught.

It's less of a people suck issue and more a life sucks issue, but it ties in right?

My dad ended up collapsing at his appointment last week, he's in hospital right now. They had to bump up the operation to this thursday, brain tumor removal.

Blah. I'm pretty much going to have to live by myself for 3 weeks and then look after him as he recovers for the next 6 months. Gonna have to forget education for a bit and learn to drive asap since he won't be able to for a long time.

Hopefully his pension covers both of us, or I might have to get a job.

That's a huge responsibility there, hopefully everything will turn out well. On a brighter note, will you be learning to drive with a stick or just auto?

Some more updates on the issue. A few days ago she managed to get two cell phones on a contract, with just a license and a now bogus credit card. However this morning, she tried to withdraw more money out of the bank, which was put on high alert and locked. She managed to get away, but the bank got a hold of my sister's license and she managed to get it back. All that needs to be done now is bring this bitch to justice and have everything else returned.

Probably a stick, since that's the only available car we have lying around to practice in.

I forgot to mention we have to move in the next 3 months or so too.

That sucks man :(

Reminds me of my hella-fucked month last month.

I find out my room was infested with ants. Then I almost-kinda-not really got fired from my job.

My teacher's a jerk. I said, "I don't see the logic behind what you teach." "That's not my problem."
