My rental was broken into. Check your cars! When I woke up this morning, I had a transaction on my credit card so I checked it and it was used at the daily Mart on Quincy Avenue and at Walmart. I put my coat on immediately to drive to the daily Mart and when I got outside, my driver’s door was open, like ajar open.

I park in my private driveway and I have a ring doorbell camera right in front of the car, but wasn’t close enough to pick up the person and start recording. I didn’t realize my card was in there, it must’ve fallen out of my pocket into the car when I got out last night. Even if it was found on the ground beside my car, I’m in a private driveway, and my door was open, and the other things in my car were shuffled through. (New car paperwork, a cvs photo envelop)

I went to the Daily Mart and Walmart to ask for camera footage since Daily Mart opened at 9 AM and I got there at 9:50. It was only less than an hour of a time range but they couldn’t help and Walmart loss prevention wasn’t there as well.

I called the police to report it and they sent someone over to question and I apologized not realizing they were sending someone out for a missing credit card but he said the detectives want the info to investigate because they assume it was someone doing it to multiple cars.

So if you notice something off with your property or car, please call the nonemergency line and report it.

Hello, I was in a car accident recently and my car was totaled. I was not prepared or interested in buying a new car anytime soon and I’m very overwhelmed with the process as I have little to no wiggle room financially with a new loan.

I only owe about $2500 on my current loan but my car was a 2011 so I will only have around $5k left for a down payment. My monthly payment now is $108 and that’s where I don’t have much wiggle room, so the total price of the car needs to be probably under $9k. I’m left with so many pros and cons in my range. Do I go with a later year so the loan term can be longer? Do I go with a less sought after make/model and not have long term expectations? Do I try to find an older car that I can buy outright? Is a 2011 with 150k miles at $8k better than a 2014 with 110k miles at $11k? Things like that.

Is there anyone with enough time and kindness that is very knowledgeable and can discuss a little more info and help me narrow down to a few choices? Don’t need to meet in person or go with me anywhere, just looking for someone to narrow it down online to a few I can go look at.
