On the evening of February 13, I was attending a meeting and (very foolishly) left my backpack, iPad, and fanny pack in my car. After the meeting, I returned to my car to find that at some point around 10pm, mine and several other cars in the lot were broken into and my bags, wallet, and iPad were all gone.
Now here’s where I get kinda stupid and foolhardy!
Having AirTagged my bags, I followed their signal to one laying on the ground at an intersection. I’m guessing they thought there was just one, because I tracked down my other tag to a homeless encampment. A guy there harassed me for a bit, then tried to sell me fentanyl after a while. I was playing the sound in my 2nd AirTag that I had tracked and a woman comes out of her shanty to see what the commotion was. She said she had just come across some bags and lets me look through them. She even told me she found an iPad. She pulls it out and it wasn’t mine, but an old cracked one. She offered it to me, which was very kind, but wouldn’t help. I wound up finding my bag, my fanny pack, and my 2nd AirTag, but nothing else.
So that’s where I’m at. I’m obviously kind of desperate right now, I can’t afford the $200 repairs to my window or a new $1100 iPad right now, (which I need for work), I’ve already been in a financial crisis for a few months before having this all come crashing down. When it rains it pours, I guess! Ce la vie. I am asking for HELP getting my feet under me, not a handout. Any donation will be counted as a deposit toward tattoo (or other) work in the future.
Thanks so much for taking time to read this all, love y’all.
PS - I’ve added a bit of cushion in the goal bc I also ripped my skates and are beyond repair. 😩🛼🪦❤️🩹
