I wanted to first thank all of you for your prayers and kind e-mails! Many of you asked exactly how this happened so I wanted to let you know...
Yesterday, I was working my job as Office Manager at that Chiropractic and Massage Center in Elk River and 4 woman walked in. This was at the exact same time that I had 3 patients signing in and 2 patients trying to check out and the phones were ringing. I had never seen these woman before but they seemed to be 3 daughters and a mom. They asked about 15 questions regarding our clinic and insurance. Apparently, one of them snuck around to the backroom where we keep our purses, etc. Although there were 1 or 2 other purses, mine was the only one that was looked through and my license, credit cards, $50 cash and debit card were stolen. Thankfully, one of our patients noticed this woman walk out of the back office and informed me as soon as they had left. By the time I checked my purse, they were gone. Immediately, I called the banks and credit card companies but within 10 minutes they had already spent $1,000 from my checking account on a laptop at Office Max which in about 4 blocks away. There we no camera's and no one saw what they were driving although many of us were able to give a description.
So in a few minutes I am leaving to go back to the Police Station to pick up my filed report, to the DMV to get a new License and to the banks to get new accounts and cards opened.
I feel very violated, scared and mad. I looked at these woman in the eyes and helped answer what I thought were their sincere question and concerns. I gave them my undivided attention and showed care. I feel fearful b/c they have my license and so Identity Theft is a real possibility. They have my address, date of birth, full name and much more. Please pray for things here on out to go smoothly. Please pray for me to experience peace and to not be afraid.
Thank you dear friends and family.
