::sniff sniff:: <honk> ::wipes tears::

This has NOT been a good week for me. Cry

I couldn't ride my bike today - storms, wind and rain.

I wore my hair in my usual figure 8 bun with my new LL hairsticks. They were perfect with my outfit. Apparently TOO perfect. I got in the elevator after lunch to return to work. There were several young gals in the the elevator behind me. They complimented me on my hair and the sticks. One gal "touched" the sticks while complimenting the pretty gems.

When I got out of the elevator and walked into my office, a co-worker was behind me and asked, " Didn't you have TWO hairsticks in your hair today ?". Yep, you guessed it - the gal took one of my sticks!!!

I went back to the floor where the girls got off and tried to find them, but no luck. I've never seen them in the building before, so I'm guessing they were just visitors. Undecided

Can you believe someone actually would take a stick right out of their hair????

I am sooooo bummed. Angry

I hope this NEVER happens to any of you.

OMG! *jaw drops to the floor*
I'm so sorry, BB. I can't imagine it. I'd feel very violated.
I propose we take up a collection and send it to Rapunzel (along with your remaining hairstick) and she can give you back a pair. I'm not sure how that would work out, but I'd be the first to contribute.

Hey, Rapunzel! How can we set up a fund to help the owners of abducted sticks?

Total bummer. I'm sitting here shaking my head.

I hope you find her, with the other stick so you can take it back and run her over with your bike. *nods head firmly*

Ooooooo, bad karma for her. Unbelievable. I could cry, too it is so terrible. Cry

({HUGS}) I hope you feel better. Kiss

for your cheek.

Thanks for the hugs.

No need for a collection for me - however if we want to start a fund for others, that's fine with me. Rapunzel takes care of me for watching over the boards. I just want to make sure the rest of you do not put yourselves at risk and have this happen to you.

As for running the perpetrator over with my bike - hmmmm - as long as I don't run the risk of getting another flat, I think that would work. Wink

So nasty! I have yet to get my first pair of LL hairsticks but when I do, you can guarantee I'll be securing them to my head with tiny padlocks after hearing your story, BB!

The unbelievable gall of someone to steal something right off of your body practically in front of you. That really doesn't do much for a person's faith in your fellow human beings. (((((((BIG HUG)))))))

Thank you all for your sympathy. I still can't believe someone would be so bold. ::shakes head::

I'm not going to let this stop me from wearing my beautiful LL sticks. However, to try to prevent this from happening again, I have put a small rubber band (the kind you wear with your braces) on each stick. This makes it a bit harder to put in, but it also makes it a bit harder to take out. I think I will notice if someone tries to remove a stick with a rubber band on it.

I had hubby try to take one of the sticks out of my hair with the rubber band, and I felt it every time. Let's hope I never have someone rip me off again.

I had money stolen from my purse at our community pool last summer-It was about $45.00 and this is a small town so I thought something like this wouldn't happen. No more bringing my purse to the pool. I'm sorry this happened to you BB.

Sometimes it seems that you can't trust anyone. The rubber band idea is a good one. I use them on my sticks to keep them from slipping out of my hair, but I never thought that they'd be a security system. I'm meaner than Gabi--I hope your thief gets alopecia areata.

and the saga continues............

A person from an office on the floor where the girls from the elevator got off came up to my office today. Seems they had several handbags ripped off yesterday afternoon. Most likely by the same girls. The police were called, and now I have fill out a police report! It is a bit embarassing to admit they stole the stick out of my hair. Undecided

There is hope, the police think they know who they are and are "hot on their trail".
