I went to a concert last night in town (Otep + Blood Simple @ Gators in Farmington New Mexico) and arrived at 6PM. I parked in the Arbys' parking lot and walked to Gators which was right next-door. The concert ended at 10:30PM to which I abruptly walked out of the bar and back to my car only to find the driver-side window smashed all to hell.
When I got closer to my car, the first thing I looked for was my backpack which contained everything I have for college. That includes all of my books, my binders, my papers, my handouts, my notes, and all of the work I have completed thus far; not to mention the calculator and miscellaneous items.
Along with my backpack, they stole an MP3 player, 2GB Thumb-drive (which contained all of my English papers), a jacket, my headphones, about $12 in loose change I had been collecting, and two bottles of Aspirin/Excedrin.
They smashed out the drivers-side window with what I can imagine to be a crowbar. I assume they were drunk as they missed my window three times - denting the hell out of my car door in three places and somehow dented the front fender of my car.
I called the police as soon as I had calmed down a bit and reported my car had been broken into. A report was made of everything that was stolen and their value as well as everything that had happened that night up to that point. After the cops left, I spent the rest of the night and up until 4 AM driving around town looking for anyone wearing my jacket and possibly carrying my bag. Since it was fairly cold last night (30°F) I assumed they would have been at least wearing my jacket. However, I came up with nothing.
So today, I had the pleasure of seeing the damage in the light of day, cleaning most of the broken glass out of my car (most of which I had been sitting on previously) and then spending about four hours at the college trying to figure out how the hell I am going to complete my finals. Seeing as how I have relatively three weeks left and no means of completing my finals, I am pretty screwed here. The scholarship I have pays for everything for two years as long as I don't fail even one class. Also, I am in the Honors Program taking Honors Freshman Composition and Honors Intro to Psychology. If I fail even one Honors class, I won't be eligible to enter the program again for one year - all but sealing my chances of transferring to a four-year college on an Honor's Scholarship.
Oh, just for my own sake for anyone who may be in this area: a $100 reward to anyone who can produce my backpack with my work inside. I don't really care about the MP3 Player or anything else, I just want my bag back but it would be greatly appreciated if the MP3 and the rest can be returned as well. And $100 may not seem like a lot to most of you, but it is all I have in my bank account at the moment.
