Scooter funk

robotech_masterI talked to the detective, and he doesn't hold out much hope. The people they arrested aren't talking, and apparently the police have more of an interest in prosecuting people than recovering stolen property. Certainly I don't think it's too likely the detective will be doing any followup in the neighborhood, to get a description of the kid seen riding the scooter or learn whether he's been seen again.
I'm probably going to go up to that neighborhood and canvass the neighbors myself, but it's more of a desperation move than anything else. The detective felt that since scooters don't have to be registered, thieves just grind the VIN off and sell them on with impunity.
It's really starting to sink in that my scooter is gone for good. It's hard to concentrate at work, and I feel like crying. I don't see how I'm going to get through without a means of transportation. There's just too much I need to do that relies on it. The biggest thing is being able to do BioKinetic medical studies. Without the scooter it becomes considerably more difficult, perhaps even impossible—and I've run up a fairly decent amount of credit card debt with the expectation of being able to do those studies to pay it off.
About the only thing I can think to do is get another scooter (and an insurance policy this time). I think I could just about afford one if I max this credit card out. Then it would just take three or four Biokinetic studies to pay it all off. Or maybe I could start selling plasma again.
Darn it, why can't I know even one rich person? :/
