All of you trusting people out there, let what happened to me last night be a lesson for you. 

I'll start from the beginning... When I go to the gym, I usually put my sweatpants, pullover, membership card, etc. in a locker.  Foolish of me I don't put a lock on it.  I've been going to the same gym the past 5 months or so.  And I go anywhere from 3-5 times a week.  And I've put my stuff in the exact same locker everytime... and no problems.  Until last night that is! 

When I finished my workout last night I went back into the locker room, opened "my" locker and stood there dumbfounded for a few moments because I expected to see my gym clothes there, but saw a completely empty locker instead.  Well maybe I forgot I had put my stuff in a different locker.  So I check, then another, then another, then another. 

After I realized that now I'M starting to look like I'm trying to steal other people's stuff that I dart to the front desk to see if someone had turned my stuff in, and to make sure my car was still there (yes, the key was in the pants).  Car there... clothes not.

Okay so now I have the gym secretary lady doing a sweep of the joint to see if I might have missed something.  No luck.  Now dark out and I'm freezing without my warm-ups, I call a locksmith.  Another half an hour passes when the front desk lady runs towards me holding my car key and membership card!!!  Someone had found them in one of the locker room stalls.  Awesome!  BUT WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?? 

I'm now left to believing that some WOMAN who CAN afford a gym membership and cares enough about her health and physical upkeep to be at the gym.... would just steal my clothes!  She doesn't want a car, or care about the info on my membership card... she just wants Addidas sweatpants and long sleeve pullover.  Did she stand in the locker room and hold my clothes up to see if they're about the same size?  Did she actaully try them on before taking them?  I can just imagine it... 

So friends, let this be a lesson.  And I will take my own advice.  LOCK YOUR STUFF UP AT THE GYM. 

Happy workout,

Annie
