I am so f'ng bummed out.  I went to an "air show survivors" party this evening after at the DoubleTree on Lakeside after the air show, and ALL, and I mean ALL of my gear was stolen. Every damn thing...two cameras, three lenses, chargers, batteries...just everything, not to mention all of todays shots including a couple hundred of the Osprey leaving and the 737 too.  They just took my whole bag.  I am just beside myself with being angry and sad and a sense of loss.  Thank god my boss Bud and other co-workers were there to get me through it.
I parked on E.12th and Lakeside, and for the love of god, I don't know why I didn't take my stuff with me...I ALWAYS do, but I guess I just didn't want to be carrying my bag around at the party.  I put it on the floor in my back seat behind the passenger side where I have tinted glass.  I covered it with a black towel and checked it when I closed the door, and I sure as hell couldn't see it.  I would swear on my life that I locked the doors with the remote when I left.  The truck wasn't "broken into" per se...they must have just opened the door and there it was.  I have a hundred million why's and what if's and I'm kicking myself in the a** for being so stupid.  It took the cops two and a half hours to get there so I could file a police report...thankfully, I have it on my insurance, but I feel naked without ANYTHING to take a picture with, not to mention the loss of all those pictures from today, and my niece's party yesterday.  I'm just gonna get drunk now...work on changing passwords (my addy book was in there too with all that info.)  Thank goodness I took my wallet out before I left.  Maybe I'll work on some shots from the other day after...at least I have those.
I just don't believe it...I feel so...I don't know.  Pissed?  Violated?  Stupid?  All the above?  How could I have been so careless?  Calling my insurance now.
