I was going to write NF yesterday but too shaken to do so :)  I locked my purse, car key, spare car key, cellphone, and my two little boys in the car yesterday afternoon.  I called Triple A and was told they could not come until 1.5 hours later, called the police station and they came to open my car door 50 minutes later. Decided to just go for dinner at a French Restaurant with my daughter and had a couple glasses of wine :)  the night turned to be a peaceful one :)

Nadita - +1  I have been gone all day and was caught in one of the worst & hardest rains I have even been in - you could not see  right in front of you it was so heavy -  It was pretty scarey and cars  were either  barely moving or had pulled off the road - 

 

I am glad you are ok - when I first started reading your last paragraph I thought  it was from a news story I had just read last week - the same thing happened to a lady but the police would not come out -   I think the police officer or the one that took the 911 call  was reprimanded  -

 

Again, glad things turned out ok   - I was  also concerned   and I have missed the spin - I  want  them everyday -- lol  you have spoiled some  of us!!

 

Oh and BTW I wrote you a very long PM and somehow clicked on something and lost it -  I  cried   and was so mad - I made  2 attempts to rewrite it but was just not the same - I will  make up for it though soon -- {{HUGS}}
