Bunch of Thieves

So it is great to be back in the US of A... Love it.. Who wouldn't? I mean, free refills, free condiments and free bathroom usage!!! 
It's the little things that count!
But what about the thieves in this country??? Yesterday I was robbed TWICE in one day...

So I went to Ross... Fabulous store. So missed it! Great stuff. I found an ipod case that I quite liked and hey, three bucks sounded like a great deal. 
Then I found what I had actually been looking for... Some clothing items and I went to try them on. Of course you can not take anything but clothing in the fitting room. So I put my fabulous ipod case into the suggested basket at the front. The lady who was helping at the fitting room was quite confident that this would be a good idea. 

Well, apparently she grabbed it and ran away, coz 4.5 minutes later the lady and my ipod case were gone!!! Now of course I am not suggesting that she actually stole... It can't be stolen since it wasn't paid for. But it is a fact, that someone grabbed it, coz it wasn't there. And the lady wasn't either. So what am I supposed to think???

Well, that little incident wasn't too bad. I mean, who cares about an ipod case that I didn't really need in the first place... (Although it was bright yellow and real cool..)

But then I went to Walmart! A super walmart to be exact. And I encountered more thieves! 
I had taken a cart in, although the cart master must have been off that day, coz I had to run into the parking lot and find this cart myself. It's supposed to be parked right next to the entrance, but it wasn't yesterday! 

So I had my cart, found ramen noodles and put some into the cart. Alright, so I didn't buy a whole box of Ramen, but still, there was stuff in the cart! 
On the next aisle I could not make a decision about what kind of cereal I actually wanted. I mean, I have been in Europe, where 3 kinds is enough! So I left my cart (BIG mistake) next to the cornflakes and was wandering down the aisles (never leaving the aisle) to check out the honey nut wheat something rather. 
I came back and my cart was GONE!!!! 
Thieves I say!!! Thieves...
Now there was a slight chance that a walmart employee took my cart coz they thought it was abandoned.. And there was another slight chance that I would find the offender with my cart in the next aisles...
Well, I did! It wasn't a walmart employee, but another shopper!!! Cart thieves!!! IT was definitely my cart, since the Ramen was still in there. But now it also had a bunch of other stuff in and I didn't feel like I could challenge them on who's cart it really was.... But I was mad... 
I thought about dropping some extra items in the cart when they weren't looking and making their bill higher! That's how mad I was! 
Who steals carts??? THieves!!!!! Forget about me now being all nice and leaving my cart somewhere so I don't run into people in crowded aisles.... Heels watch out!!! No more mercy for you! I am bumping into anything not nailed down! It's war now! You do not steal carts or ipod cases inside the store!!! 

yeah!
