Anna Laurel's Smash and Grab

I didn't even notice my window was broken when I first walked up to the car, but as I started to unlock my door I thought, 'what is that in my front seat?'. I look and I realize my window's been broken out and my stuff's gone.

I immediately just start scanning everything...looking around. Please tell me there are cameras. I see one over here on this building. Of course I went over there. It's a new building and they haven't turned their security on. I start looking around the gym. Nothing there. I do see a girl that works at GB3.

I ask her, 'please tell me you have cameras'.

She says, "No. We have nothing."

I felt like this guy had to be sitting in the parking lot watching me. The parking lot was packed. People were going to lunch. They were going for a quick workout. But because I wasn't alert, I didn't realize there might have been somebody watching me. Waiting for me to leave my stuff in the car and go inside.

OK, so what do you do. It's confirmed, my bag's gone. I love my bag, and all my stuff in it. My credit cards, my bank card, everything. Thankfully I do have my cell phone, and I start calling my bank and credit card company to cancel my cards.

According to the credit card company- the crook was fast. 20 minutes after I walked in the gym, he hit a 7-eleven down Herndon toward the 99. Next, a Jack In The Box next door. Third, a Circle-K in the Tower District. But I got to my card company before his next buy at the Sanger Wal-mart. And the thief was denied.

I was actually glad that the crook came to Wal-mart because it is known for its security. Once I called their asset protection team, which is their security department, they tracked down the thief with my card. I filed a police report online with the Fresno Police Department. They haven't gotten back to me yet, but when they do I'll have all the information ready for them. We may not have gotten this guy yet, but we will.
