Dear D-Bag iPhone thief,

I hate you! Why do you think it's ok to steal other people's stuff? I'm very thankful that you didn't steal my purse or my baby or something that is far more valuable than my outdated iPhone 4. It was somewhat frustrating to not have an iPhone at first (I'm not even at the 24 hour mark yet), but now I'm down right furious. I don't think you can do anything with my phone - I have locked it down through iCloud and set an alert so if you try to activate it somewhere it should show as stolen (quite honestly, I don't know how all of this stuff works). We don't have a home phone and I really don't feel comfortable driving without some sort of phone with me in case of an emergency. So now, I get to re-activate my old phone the Envy 3...awesome

I'm pretty sure Bailey is feeling the pain of this theft, also. The Envy is "her phone" so now she is without. How will she keep with all her boyfriends...sorry Ashton. You can call her on my phone ;)

So, you won't find me on IG for a little while. No apps for this girl. No internet at my fingertips any time of day. I'm confident that I will survive this, but I'm pretty annoyed about the whole situation. I'm hoping that Apple will announce on Sept 10 that they are releasing a new phone next month and I will then be able to get the iPhone 5 for about $100 instead of $200 (thankfully I'm due for an upgrade). 

You might be wondering how all of this happened? I went to MOA on Friday night with some friends for dinner and then we went to Banana Republic afterwards. I had the stroller with and (stupidly) had my phone sitting in the cupholder. I don't normally shop with a stroller, so I never thought of the danger this might be. I can only think of 2 instances where somebody had the opportunity to steal my phone. One time, I was maybe 2 feet away from the stroller grabbing a skirt off the rack since I couldn't push the stroller down the narrow aisle. I wasn't "not looking" for very long since I had already eyed the skirt over and decided that I had to have it before leaving the store. The other time is when I was checking out, this lady and her child (about 1 and a half years old) were next to me. The little girl kept (annoyingly) pushing Bailey's stroller. I know they were with another lady and she possibly could have stolen my phone when I was trying to pay and trying to keep the little shit angel from pushing Bailey's stroller away. I noticed my phone was gone almost immediately after walking out of the store. One of my friends called it and the call went straight to voicemail. I knew it was stolen right away. We went to the Apple store and they helped me lock down my phone and showed me how I can track it. I can see a general location of where it is (or was at somepoint) but what can I do with this info? One of our friends suggested asking to see video surveillance of the store it was stolen from, but once again - what can I do with that?

Any advice? Anyone had their phone stolen before? In the meantime, I'm throwing an amazing pitty party for myself!
