Bah humbug!

I just need to vent for a second...
In the middle of all the craziness (finishing work and resigning, getting ready to fly with baby to AL for H's graduation, getting ready to move to TX, taking care of the world's craziest dogs, etc.), I decided to do some online shopping last week for Christmas. I was happy that I'd have all the shopping done before things got really crazy later this month...

Then I found out that all 3 packages were stolen from our front doorstep last week while I was at work

I was able to call the different stores and get it all resolved. Apparently somebody took the boxes, returned all the items to the stores, and was given the $ on gift cards. None of the $ had been spent, so the stores were all able to refund the full amount of $ back to my account.

But now I'm gift-less and have no time to do any shopping before we leave for our trip. Oh well, I will manage. I just feel really sad that there's somebody out there that's that desperate for money that they'd steal somebody's Christmas presents. I hope that person can find the help they need someday.

That's awful! I'm glad you got it resolved though.

Ugh. That sucks. Glad you got it taken care of though.

Jerks! But at least you got the money back.

People suck. I'm sorry that happened.

That sucks. Someone on base stole one of our wedding presents off H's side porch when he lived in base housing. We didn't even realize until months later when we went over our registry and saw it was purchased. BB&B replaced it though, even that late!

BB&B will replace anything as long as you have it on the registry. I just did an exchange for a couple who has been married for 3 years.

OP, that makes me so angry for you. I am sorry that you had to deal with those jerks and I am glad that you were able to get the money back.
