WTF is wrong with people? Seriously.
I left my apartment at like 9:30 last night to run to the store. And I made a right without paying attention. And got stuck at the train tracks. You never realize how many trains there are until you live next to tracks. So I pull up and wait. Bc you can't turn around, there's an island in the road and you're just stuck.
So I'm sitting there playing on my phone when my door opens?!?!? Some punk kid shoves a gun in my face, takes the phone right out of my hand and starts demanding stuff. I didn't have my purse on me, just my wallet. And it was like he didn't believe me. He pulled the slide (?) back on the gun, threatened me one more time and then took off.
That's when the shaking started. I got out of the car. Bc I'm an idiot. Then got back in and backed up the street and into my complex parking lot. There were two guys sitting out front who called the police for me bc by now I could barely speak. And then they let me use their phone to call home. I'm sure I scared my mom to death, she could barely understand me.
I didn't have to wait long for the police, they come real quick for armed robbery. I gave my statement and they said they were going to drive around looking for the guy.
I skyped with my family for a while as they tried to cancel my credit cards and everything for me. They were amazing. But of course I was supposed to be on a 6am flight to Chicago today. Now I'm sitting here waiting for the bank to open so I can get a temp debit card and trying to figure out what to do about a phone.
If you need me for the next few days, email and facebook are prob best option. Although being in Chicago I won't be tied to my computer like I usually am. And I don't have any credit cards to buy an ipad.
Seriously though. What did this kid actually get out of robbing me? I was driving a 10 year old Honda and he thought he would get a lot out of me? Nobody carries cash anymore. And within an hour I had canceled all my cards (that he hadn't used yet) and disabled my phone. He did get my brand new LV wallet. And I won't meet my deductible for this, so there's prob no replacing that. But come one. Is it really worth it?

This is so crazy. I am glad that you are okay though. I can't even imagine how you are feeling. I will definitely say a prayer for safety, security and peace.
