That's Why "They" Call it The Ghetto!

So, I've lived in Utah now for just over 6 years and 3 of those years was in an apartment in Rose Park. It's a little older community, smaller built in the 30's-50's homes. Mostly retired couples, young families and an even split of Caucasian and Latino residence. People often look down their nose at Rose Park residence and refer to it as more or less a Ghetto (not that Utahan's have any real concept of a Ghetto, but for all intense and purposes Rose Park is theirs). While living there I found the neighbors to be kind, the yards to be well kept, the shop and restaurants to be hospitable and all in all, safe and relatively respectable. Well . . . Last week to celebrate two coworkers birthdays the 4 members of my department went to lunch at The Red Iguana. (One of my favorite places!) which happens to be in Rose Park. After a fantastic lunch we all returned to my car to find the back row of seats folded down and stuff scattered throughout the car.Here's my nearly empty trunk. They stole my GOLF CLUBS!! and Sun Mountain push cart and brand new (used 4 times) Birthday Present a $300 Taylormaid Driver. My favorite (had for 15 years) Scottish Cashmere sweater. The netting trunk thing that came with my car along with it's contents (oil, transmission fluid, first-aid kit, flashlight) and Jamino's Gout prescription. They apparently did not like my taste in music as my CDs were still there.

So I'm really devastated!! Golf is what Jamino and I do together. And I just got my driver. Here's my last shot with my new Driver on October 18th. I'm really sad! Total replacement cost for everything stolen (everything the same--no upgrades) $1,285. So I quess it'll be a little while before I'm golfing again. SO RUDE!
