I spoke too soon

So when I wrote last I talked about how un-exciting my life has been lately. Well that all changed yesterday. My car taxes for the town were due sept 15 and like any respectable person I sent them into the town on the 12th. Well I noticed the other day that they still had not cashed the check so I call the town to see why they did not want my money. The tax collector politely informed me that their safe had been stolen and my check was in it. Yes stolen! I was shocked that no one felt the need to contact me to let me know a thief had all of my personal info in their possession. I had to call my bank to put a stop payment on the check so it wouldn't be cashed. The nice lady at the bank informed me I should close out my account all together because the thief had way too much info on me. Isn't that lovely. I guess I shouldn't wish excitement on myself.
