Running Miles	Swimming Yards	Bike Miles
18.00	0.00	0.00

AM - 10 miles up to work.

PM - 8 miles home. Found the rear window smashed out in my jeep, lots of stuff stolen. Right outside our condo. They ripped out the stereo system in a busch league manner... not a clean removal! The stereo was worthless, but quite a bit of valuable items were stolen - my portable jump starter, a sweet auto repair kit, bunch of other auto equipment, iPod accessories, 3 pairs of really good ski poles, etc. Not really what I want to be dealing with right now... window gone just in time for a snowstorm!

It should be noted that a pair of 1.5" split shorts were left behind!!! Those were good shorts, and I'm glad I still have them!

It should also be noted that ANY IDIOT with opposable thumbs and a clothes hangar can easily break into a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Don't break the windows! A monkey could do it w/out breaking the window. Heck, even I've done it when I've locked my keys inside.

Sorry man!

From SlowJoe on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:26:05 from 69.131.141.92

Ugh, that sucks....sorry to hear that.

I didn't think Utah had crime!

From Jake K on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:27:52 from 67.177.11.154

I dont even know when it happened... could have been anytime in the past 72 hours... I'm glad I realized it now before I went out there tomorrow and the car was filled w/ snow. Good thing I ran out of ice cream and needed to go to the store (which didn't happen!)

From Rob Murphy on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:28:56 from 24.10.249.165

I'm so sorry Jake. I feel your pain as I've been there.

From Jake K on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:34:44 from 67.177.11.154

Oh this is nothing. About 4.5 years ago this jeep was stolen by a duo of armed robbers and they committed 18 robberies after they stole it. It was held as evidence by the Wash DC police for about 5 months while I was living in Colorado. I need to tell that whole story sometime. The DC police thought I was the armed robber and called my parents telling them I was a suspect. I was like no you fools, the jeep got stolen FROM me!

That sucks! Poor Wolfie :( Feel free to use my car all you want...

From Jake K on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:39:33 from 67.177.11.154

I can't drive your car Amiee... it's manual! I'm getting the window replaced tomorrow morning, but I'll miss our SOCRA breakfast! Ugh.

From Lulu Walls on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:42:59 from 166.70.240.95

Nooooooo! I absolutely refuse you missing breakfast. I cancelled my dentist appointment for it :(

From Rob Murphy on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:43:08 from 24.10.249.165

I'd be glad to teach you how to drive a manual Jake. You know, so you don't have to continue to make that painful admission anymore.

From Lulu Walls on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:43:55 from 166.70.240.95

Oh and I finally got approved to drive my car so I can swap back. Now can you come to b-fast?

From Lulu Walls on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:44:25 from 166.70.240.95

What? The manual comment wasn't a joke?!?

From Jake K on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:48:25 from 67.177.11.154

I can't drive a manual. And I'm not embarrassed by that. I can't do morse code either. Its 2013!

I'm getting the window replaced at 830am in Sandy. Geico set it up for me, so I don't really have much say in the matter.

From runningafterbabies on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:56:02 from 71.195.219.247

Jake, im so sorry. When we had our car broken into we actually made money off the insurance claim. I hope they take good care of you. You were a suspect.in an armed robbery case? CRAZY!

From Jake K on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 19:59:09 from 67.177.11.154

Only briefly, until they realized that I had already reported the car STOLEN from me. This jeep has street cred. I'll have to write out that whole story sometime, its entertaining! But right now I need to do my PT, I'm 2 hours behind b/c of this nonsense!

From Jon on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 20:23:28 from 107.203.52.135

Sorry bout the car. You'll definitely have to tell that story sometime.

From allie on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 20:41:39 from 97.117.83.221

i'm sorry. that's so lame. i bet it was the old lady who messes with your GPS signals.

i hope you can get it sorted without too much hassle. let me know if you want to borrow hannah's bike.

From Matt Schreiber on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 21:15:41 from 66.17.102.185

Sorry to hear that! That's no good.

From Jake K on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 21:26:01 from 67.177.11.154

These are the guys who stole it back in 2008... I wonder if they are back?

The funny thing is that when I just uploaded that picture to Picasa, Google asked me if I wanted to tag the photo, and suggested that the two faces matched myself and Kramer Morton. Hmmmmm.....

From bdase on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 21:30:30 from 160.7.242.251

So uncool! Sorry man. If i was closer i'd drop off a bucket of ice cream.

From Fritz on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 22:21:22 from 67.177.4.64

That totally sucks. I hope there is a hell for people that do stuff like this. I had my car broken into in California and they took everything except the one thing I cared about, my baseball glove. At least these thieves were decent enough not to take your running shorts.

From DaleG on Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 22:28:36 from 152.216.11.5

Totally bogus!!!

From Andrea on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 05:01:24 from 72.37.171.52

Did they steal the white wolf?!?!

From Bam on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 06:32:00 from 89.126.28.24

Sorry about the purloining. At least the purloiners evinced some degree of humanity and left you your shorts.

From Bret on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 07:01:55 from 216.234.133.229

Sorry to hear of your misfortune Jake - I like the bit about the shorts being left behind though. :)

From jtshad on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 07:25:58 from 141.221.191.225

Sorry about all the frustrations, Jake. In the scheme of things, it is just stuff but it still sucks.

From Christie on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 07:44:07 from 74.213.202.246

Sorry Jake! We have had 3 break-ins over the past couple months and like you said... they end up doing more damage breaking in than the actual things they steal. I say we should have a law that when caught, fingers are cut off of the thieves :)

From Jake K on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 09:13:38 from 155.100.226.191

Not really a big deal at all in the grand scheme of things... like I said, after the armed robbery fiasco, this doesn't even phase me!

I am going to make a blog entry with that story. Its a good one, and definitely more interesting than any race report, etc :-) Its on my to-do list for this weekend!

The white wolf figurine was not stolen, either! That little guy means a lot to me. He is a guardian angel of sorts.
