So I got a text early Saturday morning from my neighbor. Why is a Crime Scene Investigator here? Being nosey that I am, I ran over to our main window to have a peek.
Yup. Something was going on all right. We poked around, trying to find out what the deal was. All we got was that a few cars had been broken into. Interesting, we thought, considering there wasn’t a spot of glass throughout the parking lot. No alarms had been going off. And that’s an awful lot of police for a few break-ins where “nothing major” was taken. Hmm.
Later that afternoon, we saw the cops talking to some guys that we know, and checking out their car. Obviously, we asked them what was going on. And apparently we’d gotten the half truth. There have been a series of break-ins. However, there was an actual grand theft auto that took place!! One of our neighbors had their car stolen out of our gated community. What in the actual heck? Sure made for an exciting Saturday.

++ I’ve been trying to fit in some fitness. That’s been easier said than done lately. Life, man. It’s not always possible to go out for a run. My outdoor running partner has been down (remember, her leg injury?) and sometimes it’s just too late to go to the gym (probably not actually, but roll with it). I’ve been trying to sneak in a few minutes of jump rope on our balcony when I can. Dude, don’t let your childhood memories fool you. That’s some serious business right there! 15 minutes burns 170 calories. An excellent way to pop in some quick cardio!
Anyway. This week has been something else. And I’d be lying to you if I didn’t admit that I am so anxiously awaiting cuddling in bed with a book on Friday night. With that said, I have a little treat for you to brighten your week.
I became a fan of Firmoo after they kindly sent me a couple pairs of glasses. And now, they’ve been generous enough to offer the same to one of you. Enter to win a pair of prescription (or not-if you’re just into that nerdy-chic look but don’t need actual prescription lenses) glasses down below! All you have to do to be entered is comment on this post. Because I like you. And I just want you to have something cool without jumping through a bunch of hoops.
Okay. The end, you guys.

How crazy is that??? Out of a gated community and everything! My old car got stolen that was awful. So I hope they find whoever stole this person's car!
Pete's car got broken into once. Things they didn't take: full set of golf clubs and iPod. What they did was open his softball backpack, take the mitt out of it and take off with the backpack and cleats/dirty sweats. ?? Dafuq?! lol
Jump roping is intense – I don't know how I spent so many hours doing it as a kid! Your Friday night sounds a lot like mine, and I can't wait either! What are you reading?
Ok, wow lots to comment on here.
1. Yikes. Grand theft auto!
2. Jumping rope is no joke. How did we do this stuff when we were kids?
3. Yay for the giveaway and I like how you did it with just the comment. Fingers crossed!
It is amazing what can go on at apartment communities with all those different people living in one area! When I used to manage some, I hated when we had a break in or one of our residents did something stupid. People always freaked out and wanted to break their leases but the truth is…crime has no address. It literally happens everywhere.
I have been wanting to order these glasses for a long time/need new ones!! Thank you for the chance 🙂 And great job with your workouts!!
I just got a new prescription, so I could use the glasses!
Yikes!!! That is crazy that stuff like that happened in your gated community.
Ugh I would be afraid I would sound like Godzilla if I jumped these days, but hooray for easy to come by workouts!
wow, that's an exciting Saturday. And yes jump rope really does get the heart going.
My car got broken into one night. They took my GPS, left my wallet, my cash inside, my credit cards inside, etc. Just the darn GPS. That sucked, but the worst part was sitting in my car knowing that someone else had been sitting there….yuck!
Happy jump roping……now I think I need to go out and buy myself one!! xoxo
Oh my gosh, that's scary!! Thankfully I've never had my car stolen, but I have had it broken into a couple of times, it sucks!
lol i jump roped a few times a week in 2012, actually that is when i was in my best shape, so perhaps i need to pick it up again!
that is seriously crazy (and terrifying) about a car being stolen from your gated community.
Whoa — you never know what craziness can happen right outside your door! And, jump rope? I haven't done that in ages. Although, now I really want to get a SkipIt… that's still a workout, right?
xoxo

OMG stole a car…shut up! That's crazy. I cannot complain about my week love so I hope your Friday night comes quickly…I need mine to come slowly. And I'm so rolling with the too late for the gym xoxoxoxoxo Amanda
That's scary about the car break ins. I thought about jump roping & also hoola hooping. The jump roping didn't last long.

jumping rope is no joke! i always jump rope as part of my warm up and sometimes when i'm feeling extra strong, i'll use the weighted ropes…holy shoulder burn!
How the heck were they able to steal it out of a gated community??! That's crazy! Luckily no one was hurt, but man, I'd be nervous.
I hope you have a relaxing weekend!
I'm finally reading your blog again {or reading in general}. Missed reading yours. About the auto theft story…this is crazy. You'd think you'd be safe in a gated community but even I know that this is sadly not the case. A friend's car was broken into a few months ago…I mean, yes, this can happen anywhere but it just sucks. 🙁 And I do need to try to get back into some sort of fitness. I've been lazy and that is not good at all.
Say whattttt?!?! OMG! Glad all was okay, though! Jump rope is no joke, dude! And Firmoo is always so generous! xo
