Good-bye TomTom

We had an excellent day on Sunday, for most of it anyhow. We went along to Holy Trinity Church, which was just excellent, similar to St Mark'’s Anglican (where we were married). The music was excellent and the teaching was great. We spent the afternoon doing some work in the warmth of our heated ENORMOUS living room, while outside was windy and cold.
We went along to Altrincham Baptist Church to check it out. Once again, a beautiful bunch of people and faithful teaching. On the way home, we saw a cute little Thai restaurant, so we spontaneously went in for dinner. Being a Sunday night, we were the only customers. ☺

Here's, the interesting bit… with full bellies and a great day we walked around the corner towards the car and the hazard lights were on. Had we left them on?? Apparently not. As we came up to the car we saw the driver's side window had been smashed in, glass all through the car, and our TomTom (Satellite Navigation, Matt bought for work) had been stolen. You have to hand it to them, it was a professional job, they even took the cord all the way from under the dashboard.
Matt hopped into gear and began ringing all the necessary people and then had a beer in the local pub while we waited for the tow truck. Our car was hauled away (at our request ☺ this time) and we had a ride in the tow truck back to our house, about 30mins drive. That was pretty fun.
We now have a rental car until the window is replaced.

Thankfully there wasn't any spiteful, unnecessary damage anywhere else; they just wanted TomTom.

Hope they got a good price for it. ☺
