Sometime ago - either late spring or early summer of this year I lost my wallet. I went to the gym and then to the store and when I got to the store my wallet was gone. I retraced my steps, checked with the desk at the gym and nothing. I then cancelled all my cards and just have no idea what happen to it. Annoying yes but not too bad I was thinking. Last week I suddenly get a call from the public library about over due materials. I have not been to the library in ages and so thought - oh no. I went down to check it out and it turns out that in October someone used my card and checked out "Midnight: A Gangster Love Story" by Sister Souljah and "Red Hats" by Damon Wayans. Since those clearly do not run the gamut of my usual reading fare then I suppose that you can tell my wallet was indeed stolen. Although I cancelled immediately all my credit cards, I totally did not think about my library card. Because I have no police report of the incident, I had to pay $57 - ugh. Although they both got good reviews on Amazon - doesn't it seem awfully high for titles like that. Oh plus I am sure that I am a complete racist as it is fitting to me that those stereo typical titles would interest a thief. It makes me uncomfortable that my missing wallet went all this time and finally something happened with some of my cards. Perhaps someone just finally found it. All in all it could be worse and I do feel good as reading is fundamental and I have just made my 2011 donation to the fighting illiteracy in the USA. Lucky my that I have a thief on my hands that happens to be a member of the literati but I am paying it forward in some strange way. Plus not to mention how very happy I am to know that "gangsters" fall in love too. Touching to say the least :)
