oh how frustrating! the detective called me today at work and said he had the girl i picked out in the line up at the station. he had been talking with her and her story was EXACTLY the same as mine as far as interactions go...names, dates, conversation. but her story differs from mine when we start talking about the packages. she claims she was sitting on 1171 in traffic...noticed trash cans on our street, and went on our street to go thru some of the trash (because some people leave chairs, tables, etc by their cans and say it's free to anyone who wants them). i say this can't be true because trash comes on thursday....she stole my stuff on a friday. and not only that, but my trashcans were in my garage...and who puts perfectly taped/unopened packages by a trashcan anyway? anyone? no. so then she said that she let me go through her car to see if my stuff was in there. not true either. and she claims she was never even on my porch--this one is tough because i never actually saw her on my porch. i saw 3 packages when i pulled in my garage, walked thru my house, saw her walking away with 2 packages in her hand, and that i now only had 1 package on my porch. i never saw her on my porch.
the detective said that he wasn't saying he was believing her side of the story necessarily, it was just weird that she didn't say, "it wasn't me. i don't know what you're talking about". (but how could she! i had a license plate number & picked her out! obviously it was her!) she instead told almost an identical story to mine--names of people and everything! he said he was going to refer the case to the DA to look at and decide if there's enough evidence to prosecute. if there was, then i'd have to testify against her. now that part REALLY freaks me out. because i'm pregnant, my memory is pretty shot, and i'm not sure i can remember everything the way it really happened a month ago! talk about not fair! and if you think about it, it's really only $160 in merchandise. is that a big enough deal to go to court for? what i really want is for her to just admit she screwed up, and then pay JCP & my vitamin company back the money they're out for having to reship my goods. that would be good enough for me! but no. the thought of the case being taken to the DA hasn't scared her into a confession! how bizarre! which also makes me start doubting myself....is there something i THOUGHT i saw, but didn't really?
so i need prayers, guys. this is ridiculous. i wish it would all just go away. i'm sick of dealing with it. and i know i could ask them to just drop everything, but i also really want justice to be served. this is not something i want to be dealing with right before christmas, and definitely not with only 11 weeks until i give birth! that's a little too much stress for me! :)
hopefully the next post will be a little more exciting (in a positive way!) than this one. happy wednesday, everyone!!!

Jamie, no way! Well, obviously her story doesn't make sense, and your memory is just fine! (I think the whole "pregnancy brain" thing is a myth anyway!) I hope it all works out in a non-stressful way.
I don't know why you would threw a BRAND new mattress away. How ridiculous. ;-) I hope that it all ends up well... just think you'll be in Oregon soon and you won't have to stress over it.
