Never-Ending Poop-Fest

This thing just keeps getting bigger (that's what she said!). I called Cottonwood Heights Police Department a while ago to see which detective was assigned to our case. The woman informed me that "it's only Wednesday", and by that I guess she meant we don't have a detective yet. She said it takes a while for them to review and assign the cases, and that they "have tons of them" to go through.

We have photos of the suspects that were provided to us by Lee's bank. While we were still in the funeral, they wrote a check using Lee's checkbook (yeah, we didn't realize until Monday that it too got taken), and another one using my checkbook. In one transaction, the culprit got away with $1850.00 from the two of us. Fortunately, the bank returned the money to Lee, and my bank never did debit the money from my account. It's really too bad there's no one actually investigating this yet.

We have a face to put with the crime. Even so, we're still not secure. I'm taking further precaution and putting a security freeze on my credit. Both of us have closed our bank accounts and opened new ones.
