We left Kansas and drove, OK we drove for a long time and it got rather boring.
So I will not bore you with that. We got in to St Louis and went to see the huge arch there.
It was Huge you could ride in side it in a tram . Any way We found some cheap parking, as i was getting out of the car I noticed that there was a lot of white glass on the ground.
I did not think much more of it in till I just happened to say to Mum, "I wonder how that got there." Mum said that maybe someone had broken into a car. Suddenly I felt we had to pray, so we did and went to the arch and thought no more about it.
There was a cool Museum there and we were going to go up the arch but Mum did not feel to good and besides it cost $10 each.
We walked round the arch a bit more and then slowly made our way to the car.
As i was coming around the side of the car, I saw black glass on the ground, that was when I knew we had been robbed.
Someone had broken in and taken Dads laptop, Computer, DVD player, and other stuff.
Of cause we were all in shock for a while, we called the police but they could not do much about it. Suddenly None of us wanted to be in that city. The weather was getting colder and there was a huge hole of where the window had been. We also had no idea how to get out of the city as the GPS had gone and we had no maps.
So here we were driving round in circles trying to get onto the highway.
Finely we asked someone and we got out of that city.
Now we had the problem of what to do.
Should we drive on to Connecticut that was still a long way away, or should we find a hotel and leave the car out over night with a broken window.
We found a Hotel took everything out of the car and stayed the night, but Dad keeped getting up in the night to see if the car was still there.
