Tulsa to Oklahoma - ARRG! I've been Robbed!

Got up about 9am and chatted to Emily and Dave till about 10:30 then went out put my stuff in the car. GUTTED – found the car had been broken into – My rucksack with all my clothes, all my Scouting Badges and Uniforms, my travel plans, even the Girl Scout Cookies I got from Amy in Indianapolis have gone. They also took my Media Player I had bought in Hong Kong which I must have left in centre console. It's the Scouting stuff I'm really upset about – I had bought and swapped loads of badges around the world and bought a couple of uniforms, also my World Scout Jamboree Neckerchief and my own uniform has gone.
It looks like they have popped the locks on the car with something down the side of the window, there is no damage to the car and the car still locks and unlocks normally.
Dave and I had a drive around the area to see if they had just dumped the bags nearby but couldn't see anything, then we went down to the Police Station to file a report. This involves filling in a long form including my weight and height – god knows why they need that info! Back at Emily's I made a couple of calls back home and just felt totally deflated. The ironic thing is that when Emily and Timber came to Manchester Timber had her Bags pinched at Chortlon St. Bus Station – Ironic


I ended up not seeing any of Tulsa and just left to Drive on down to Timber in Oklahoma. I'd planned to follow Route 66 between the two towns but ended up taking the Freeway again as it would have taken too long.
I arrive at Timbers around 8ish and explained what had happened.
