Earlier tonight, I go to check out a new gym ... it's a branch of a chain I already belong to, but somewhat closer to home. I get a quick tour from one of the staff, lock my stuff in a locker, go do a short workout, return to the locker room ...
... and discover the lock has been removed from the locker and my clothes have been stolen -- along with my wallets, keys, checkbook, and cellphone.
I wasn't the only one; as the manager and I tried to discern if my things were still around, another patron told him his gym bag was stolen.
Great. This place hasn't even been open a full three days.

That's not encouraging.
That's infuriating, I know. You can cancel your cards and whatnot, but what a pain in the @$$. I'm sorry, man.
I've started the process, but it's infuriating. My wife brought me some clothes and an extra car key so I could drive home, and on the way I was thinking I should get some cash from the ATM -- and it hit me that the ATM card was gone.
I've deal with the credit cards. Today I'll deal with replacing my driver's license. And then all the other cards -- insurance, library, supermarket, etc. And the cellphone. And changing my locks, since with the driver's license the thief has my address. And on and on ... !
Gah, how awful. I hope sorting it all out goes as smoothly as it can. My sympathies, too.
I just got a call from the gym -- my clothes were found! Also my keys and checkbook!
It still appears my wallets and cellphone are missing. I'll know for sure when I go back there -- they didn't want to dig into my pockets.
Make sure you look through your checkbook for missing checks and/or deposit slips.
Right. When I called the bank to report the stolen ATM card, I forgot about the checkbook, even though I told the police about it.
Sorry to hear about this.
These days mischief can be done with just the numbers on your checks without using your actual checks. They can either print their own checks using those numbers or use the numbers online to make purchases at some sites.
Ugh. Man, that's horrible. Good luck getting things back to normal.
Exercise is a scam. It's hazardous to your health. Statistics show ten out of ten people who exercise will die. The effects can finally catch up with you eighty, ninety years later.
What's worse, there are high correlations between exercise and peppy music and keep-fit videos.
If comics have taught us anything, it's that the fastest path to a better physique is through exposure to radiation. Luckily, I have a old radium dial alarm clock I keep by my bed. It's great knowing every moment I'm sleeping it's there, taking care of me.
Seriously, that's terrible, Clark. I hope this post gave you a smile.
