Ian's FM ... it's been stolen

[Guest guest]

Yes, you read right. His FM microphone was stolen out of his gym locker

today. The cell phone was left, his wallet (with money and a few gift cards),

aids/boots, and watch were all left in the locker untouched. As were all his

clothes -- they were swimming today, so he left everything, even his aids with

the FM boots still on them. Only the mic was taken.

We are guessing that someone thought it looked like an MP3 player. My

comment is that once the thief figures out it's not one, it'll get dumped into

the

nearest garbage can.

" Following protocol " means going through every garbage can in the place ...

should I mention that there are two dumpsters outside the school as well? And

even if they find it in a garbage can, there's a good chance that it'll be

doused by a half-consumed can of juice or ice tea.

Right now Ian and his TOD are about to go into the principal's office to

meet with him and the 504 officer. I've offered to come in, but have been told

to stay put for the time being. I'm about to find out if they listened to me

about carrying insurance on the FM system. (sigh) And I have often argued

that gym lockers are not secure, but still it always spends gym class in a

locker. One good hit to the base of a standard lock and it falls open, it

happens

all the time.

The good news, they've already made the calls to set up a loaner to be

brought in for Monday. What a way to end a week ... Ian sounds like he's about

ready to either cry or slug someone.

Cross yours fingers for us,

Jill

So here's my question: who has to look through the dumpsters, you or the

school?

Um, I think I'm going to be baking brownies for the custodial staff this

weekend!

They started with every garbage can or waste basket in every room of the

school, while Ian and the TOD walked all of the hallways and looked under all

the staircases and odd little corners where it could have been tossed. If that

hadn't worked, then apparently it was off to the dumpsters ... not sure that

they'd actually have go through them or just called it a loss. Thankfully it

didn't come to dumpster diving.

I am so-o-o-o relieved!!

Oh Jill, I am so sorry you have to go through that:-( I sure hope you

guys can work all this out with the school. Prayers are heading your

way. Tell Ian to keep his head up.
