Steal a Vacuum?

Most of you know that Kelly and I have recently moved out, but we are still under a lease at James Pointe Apartments until October. We haven't been back to the apartment for about a week, but I asked Kelly to stop by there after work today to check the mail and pick up a few things that we left behind.

Kelly went to check on the place and found the door unlocked. What?! How could that be possible? Kelly and I made sure that we locked both the dead bolt and the door knob. Kelly even placed a bottle on the other side of the door and it was gone. I'm pretty sure you know where I'm going with this due to the title of the blog. Someone stole our vacuum cleaner! There wasn't anything else taken, but our vacuum cleaner was no where to be found. It wouldn't be such a big deal if the vacuum cleaner wasn't brand new.. a gift we bought ourselves for our wedding. Yea, it wasn't a very expensive one, but it was new and we really like it.

Kelly and I can't wait to get James Pointe behind us.. We are so sick of the management there. Kelly even went in and tried to talk to the manager, who didn't even know we were buying out of our lease. Which I found odd because I presented a letter to them at the first of the month stating we'd be out by September 30th. Shouldn't the manager know these things?

Kelly went and talked to her and it apparantly got pretty heated. The manager says that there is absolutely nothing she can do, because they can't PROVE we had a vacuum in there. Are you serious?! You think that if we were going to lie about property being stolen, we'd say like a TV, CD's or even Movies. Does she really think we are lying about a vacuum cleaner? Kelly started to get very angry and finally lost it. 2 and 1/2 years of putting up with James Pointe's crap was finally enough. Kelly stormed out of the office, but not before telling a young couple in the lobby that if they were considering moving in, they shouldn't.

I called and talked to the manager, apologizing for my husbands behavior. Even though it was justified with all of the stuff we've been through. I explained to her that we'd be coming by this next week to give them the buy out and walk through our apartment with them. You know to check and see if there is any damage we caused to the apartment. Even if there was, I'm not giving them another dime! I just can't wait until we can put James Pointe behind us.

*sniff sniff* I hope we get over the tradegy of losing our new vacuum and get on with our lives as soon as possible. *sniff sniff*
