I dreamed I went back in time to the early ‘80s and was at
an Eagles practice at the Vet. We were not on the field but sort of under it
having a cocktail party. I guess that was how the team rolled in the ‘80s.
I was walking around and suddenly realized that someone had
stolen my wallet again. (Or was that the first time someone had stolen my
wallet, given that it predated my Planet Fitness theft by 30 years? Time travel
makes my head hurt.) I was very unhappy that this had happened again and I
would have to cancel my credit cards again and get a new driver’s license.
Later I was in a hotel room when the thief knocked on my
door. I answered and she pointed a gun to my head. It wasn’t bad enough that she
stole my cash but now she’s threatening to kill me? Talk about adding insult to
injury. Someone else in the room pointed a gun at her so there was a stalemate
and it ended without bloodshed.
This may have been a premonition because the police caught one
of the suspects who stole my wallet in the waking world in the present. The guy
had allegedly broken into lockers in 20 fitness clubs around the tri-state
area. The description of the crimes match what happened to me: He would break
off the locks from lockers and then put a different lock on to fool the owner.
There’s another suspect out there but the police have a lead on him.
Everything is pretty much rectified for me. I disputed the
charges and I got back the $700 that the thief debited from me. I’m still going
to Planet Fitness for now for lack of other cheap options. However, I’m taking
precautions. I’m leaving my wallet at home and keeping my driver’s license on
my person while I work out, as well as my car key. The only thing in my locker
will be my phone and nobody wants that.
PS If the guy they caught is the one who went on a shopping
spree at the Christiana Mall, Nordstrom’s did a bang-up job checking his ID
when he charged $2,300 at the store. We could be twins.
