delayed

we were ready to walk out the door and hit the road to the playa and the rental van was sitting outside fully packed, and while we were gathering our final things, we were standing by the door, and reagan heard a noise, and i heard the noise, and we ran outside the back door.

someone busted the window and stole jay’s laptop bag which included his laptop and all his DJ equipment and a few other things.

we’re trying to decide what to do and making some phone calls and there’s a lot of “shoulda” (shoulda moved the car inside the gated parking lot, shoulda had someone out there guarding it, shouldn’t be so white and stupid as to pack your car in broad daylight in the middle of the hood and then leave it sitting there unguarded, even if it is 9am in broad daylight on a saturday), but in any case we’ll be delayed in getting to the playa and spending a lot of $$$ getting the window on a brand new rental car fixed.

sigh.

i feel like we are being punished for something.

complacency?

wealth?

the silver linings:

we have renter’s insurance which will hopefully cover the laptop etc. replacement cost

jay had his laptop backed up and has another laptop and is trying to transfer all the files

they didn’t steal anything else that might be less replaceable

they didn’t steal the whole car

we are still going to burning man

…i just wish i could stop thinking about whether this is the worst thing that’s going to happen.
