An update on the Great Pants Snatch*: a couple of days ago I got an email from a sister in Louisiana informing me that she heard from the health club that they found my STUFF - why did the call her? Her phone number was on a card in my wallet. Why not call me? My number was on a card in the wallet but when they tried to call me my phone was busted so ... jeez.
Weirdest part is that everything was still in the pockets of my pants. EVERYTHING. UNTOUCHED. Apparently the thief was interrupted in the act so he stuffed it into a stray gym bag and shoved it behind a toilet in the men's locker room where it was eventually discovered. Weirder if it had been found in the _women's_ locker room.
Anyhow, after all the alarums & excursions, and outrageous expenses I'm very far from being able to afford of the past month, I'm pretty much back at the start. I did need to replace the old rotting wallet anyhow.
* I wouldn't be surprised if someone came up with a Rule 34 of this. Knock yerself out.

OTOH my wallet and its contents were in the hands of the health club employees for three weeks, so who knows what's up with that.
Did I mention that I had my Social Security card in it? Who knows why. I had to find a local SS office and notify them of its theft, so they're alerted more or less (and now I have two SS cards, neither of which will see even the outside of my wallet).
And my voter's registration card - the upcoming elections will be so exciting(?) that I'd completely forgotten about this item. Got it back with the rest - let's see if there'll be anyone worth voting for or even against when the time comes.
