To the asshole at that gym in Scotia Square who enjoys going through other gym member’s belongings:
Yes, I’m stupid for not locking my locker. I’m fully aware. I now have a lock…
So today, I go to the gym, workout and then come back to my locker only to find my gym bag has been gone through by someone else. All of the compartments are open, some of my stuff is all over the locker.I do a quick check: ipod – there, blackberry – there, wallet/ids/all cards – present and accounted for.
It isn’t until I get home that I realize what you took. All of the change from my change purse (all 4.50ish of it), and another small change purse that was full of bobby-pins.
I really would have loved to walk in on you pretending as though you were going through your own bag from your own locker…what gets me the most is that I probably know exactly who you are, there are only a handful of people who come into the gym at the same time as me…so now I’m going to assume you’re all fucking selfish jerks.
Anyhow, you obviously needed these things more than I did. Thanks for leaving everything that was actually worth anything.—Maybe you’ll pick my new lock with my own bobbypins…

FFS you got a free pass on stupidity. iPod, Blackberry, wallet, cards, and ID still intact? You must be the luckiest person in Halifax. Quit your QQing and consider this experience the cheapest, easiest life lesson ever learned.
The OP probably used her change for a soda and bus fare to get home and forgot that she did it. If she’s dumb enough to leave all her valuables in an unlocked and unattended locker, I wouldn’t put it past her. The bobby pins are probably stuck in her hair but she can’t see them because her missing eye glasses are on her head.
Check your front door sweetheart, your keys are probably still in the lock.
I came to post almost exactly what Three said, “Quit your QQing and consider this experience the cheapest, easiest life lesson ever learned”
This should have been a love the way we love.
You’re complaining because they took 4 bucks and 2 quarters? Come on, you need a reality check. Maybe they just needed bus change. They should have taken the iPod, Blackberry, etc and sold it on Kijiji hot. Be grateful you only ended up $4.50 less richer. How much is the iPod? How much is the Blackberry? How much is your identity?
do you”gasp”, think it might be another member, oh no?
