You know that feeling where you're about to cry, where your body tenses up and your eyes well up before the waterworks begin? That's me. But for the past few hours now.

We found out today that someone stole the license plate off my car. This is incredibly frustrating too because Blaire got a ticket not too long ago because our registration sticker was expired and we JUST got them done. And the moment they're done: our entire license plate is stolen.

I didn't mention this but two weeks ago my parents' cars was broken into. That and then this... I know it's just a license plate. But they stole it off my driveway. Something about the idea of someone deciding to commit a crime outside my home... It's driven me into a mad paranoia. Sure they stole these plates but what if they had decided to escalate? What if they broke into my home? 

I got a neighborhood app a month ago and since then it's just been people constantly reporting thefts and burglaries. And now I became one of them. I already felt so unsafe in America. I grew up surrounded by gangs, living in shady areas, and I worked my ass off to live in a good quiet neighborhood only for this to happen...

I know it's just a license plate. And I know this could have been much worse. But I feel so unbelievably violated, sad, and angry. First my parents, now me...

There's no real purpose to writing this I just... Needed to write it. I needed to expel this out of me. I felt like if I didn't tell SOMEONE about it, I was going to lose my mind in despair. I was supposed to film all day today for our Patreon content and now I think if I even step in front of a camera I'm going to burst into tears.

I don't know man. It's been a day. I just wanted people to know that it happened. 

Please be safe out there. For the love of everything look at EVERYTHING happening in the world; everywhere. Please be kind to people. Whether that is a friend, family member or stranger. Please be patient with that cashier who's maybe a bit slow. Please let's just all be good to each other.

it’s totally valid that you’re upset! that person invaded your privacy and took what was yours. when it comes to personal feelings, there is no justification that has to follow it. i hope things start to look up for you and the rest of your days are full of good things 💜

I’m so sorry pd for all of this happening to u. U don’t deserve it. Nobody deserves this! I sometimes can’t believe that there r people there who r do selfish and cruel. With everything going on, I hope people will take a step back and see how their actions affect others. And that we need kindness in our lives to survive! Pd, just know we r here for u! And here WITH u!!

I’m so sorry to hear about that PD. I’m not in the US so idk if the plates can be flagged or claimed or anything, but I’d recommend looking into it once you’ve had time to process and settle things. Just know your emotions are valid and completely within reason. Take all the time you need :)

"I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all" Your frustration, anger, sadness, disappointment and more is understandable. I really really really hope that things will turn around soon. One day at a time, okay? So much in life sucks but there can be a better tomorrow where we least expect it

WiseSmellyLegs

Thank you for sharing this with us. Although it is not something about content etc, it is important, at least for me/some of us. I don’t want to be here just like: “Hey, I paid for some videos and that’s it”, so I am glad I can be aware of your life and situations you are in. I don’t know, what else to say, because I don’t want to say just something like: “it’s just a plate”, since you already know this and I can see you are desperate of that situation and not of that plate specifically and mainly you are afraid of the future things that might come… So I will end this with my hope that nothing worse will come!!

I totally get why you’re upset and feel paranoid. how frustrating. I often get paranoid too despite living in one of the safest neighborhoods in my area. Do you have cameras in your driveway (even fake ones)? It’s a lil extra and it might not ward off everyone, but it might make some people stay away. I really hope tomorrow is a better day than today.

Niclas K-Pop

We feel for you, hopefully things will start to get better again and you can continue to feel safe and leave the paranoia behind. We're with you ❤️

Within a week of buying my house someone stole the lightbulb off the front porch. Not a big deal financially but it did make me feel very unsafe and worry for quite a long time. Luckily nothing has happened in the three years since then but it really upset me at the time.

I have cameras, I have a security system, but as my friend told me "that's how desperate they are". On my neighborhood app there are people posting footage from their cameras of people stealing or breaking into cars in BROAD daylight. They all wear hats and masks so they probably feel invincible.

Omg That’s really Frustrating... I was talking to my friend, she got blackmail from someone hack her Snapchat account... They told her that she will pay for it andthey will send all conversation to her family.. She went to police and they do nothing.... I really can't understand why people do this 💔💔... I hope you will find your license plate, and my friend will get her account back... Thank you for sharing with us 🙏.. May GOD protect you and calm your heart

Sorry PD but I am glad I have personalized plates. More difficult for someone to steal and use as the plate is easy to recognize and remember. Apoear to be worth the $35 per year charge.

I'm so sorry that happened to you and your parents, I know how hard it is to live somewhere where you feel unsafe, your reaction is completely understandable. Don't think of it as an overreaction, you have the right to your safety.

Donslaught

I hope you're doing okay, PD. The world is imploding and we're watching it all happen. All we can do is be good to each other. Thank you and Blaire for giving us a place to be able to do that.

Violet Joo

Oh PD that's so bad. It must be really frustrating and sad to feel unsafe in your own home. You know in korean we have 전화위복. Hope after this just good things happen to you. 힘내요 PD.

Violet Joo

But on the other hand... why do they steal plates? In the US can you make money out of these license plates? Why?😟 I'm just so confused.

formoftherapy

Right? Something so small and insignificant feels so… violating. It’s good that it was limited to just that!

jaeminono

I’m so sorry that happened to you both and your parents PD. I know how emotionally and mentally taxing it is to constantly be anxious and feel unsafe in a place like your own home and neighborhood. The deindividuation of people when committing these crimes is very harrowing and unsettling. Please don’t invalidate your feelings PD! You are completely valid in feeling violated. I hope you are able to overcome this with time. Stay strong! Hope you all are happy, healthy, and safe!

anejelly

I'm sorry about what happened PD. I totally get your frustration. Just the idea of something bad that happens or what could've happened also makes me paranoid. It's honestly sad when you're starting to feel like your home is not exactly the safest place out there. Please take your time to recover from this. I hope you and your family will remain safe from this point onwards and hopefully, the people who did this will get caught. Please stay safe.

Alison Renaud

Im so sorry PD!! Your home should be your safe place. I wish I could help everyone feel safe. Ive lost my faith in humanity a long time ago. Working 10+ years in retail will do that. I just dont understand how people are so completely out of touch with their humanity. Im constantly terrified about the state of the world at the present. Ill never stop being kind and polite to strangers or anyone. As exhausting as it is if everyone just turned off their humanity it would be Idiocricy. Ill always be here snd be a safe open place for anyone who needs someone to talk to about anything. Im an open book.

Zenah

What is wrong with people? I hate humans. Some asshole stole 170 dollars from me last week. I needed them so bad.

Incheonguy

I am sorry you had to go through that. I hope you will keep your head up and know that people appreciate you and support you. Don't let bad people bring you down. You are a great person and that is all you really need to be.

Kate M

Having things happen around one's home just makes you feel unsafe. Even if you already lock your doors and windows, now you're double-checking things and peering out the window on the regular. Because some jerk feels it's okay to take other people's stuff. Ugh. I hope you get your peace back. In the mean time, maybe set up a couple of cheap outdoor cameras?

CRAYON weiwen

Sorry to hear that, totally understand that kind of bad feeling, hope those bad thing won't happen to you again, God bless you.

Nyx

I’m so sorry to hear this, I don’t live in the US so can’t really imagine how it’s there, but I agree that we just all need to be a little bit more kind and patient with each other ❤️hope you and your family stay safe and this won’t happen again !

Tyisha

You should get a camera. My grandmother has a ring dash and also a camera in front of her house. She gets alerts when someone comes close to the house. Also she lives in a townhouse in a slightly bad area too. That’s why she got it. Just to make sure no one did anything to her vehicle

The feeling that someone has violated your privacy and space is terrifying, your feeling of paranoia is warranted. A few months ago, my parents had just installed a new flat screen TV in our house, took the old one down and set it on our couch for some time before they could take it to the dump. One weekend after that, as we were all downstairs eating breakfast, my dad asked my brother what he did with the TV, and he said he hadn't done anything with it. He asked me, and at first I thought he was joking, because I couldn't even lift the TV by myself. No one had moved the TV, and we searched everywhere and couldn't find it. It was just gone. I was terrified for a while because I often stay home alone and we don't have the best security, I made my dad get a keypad and fingerprint lock system for our front door but he hasn't installed it yet because he thinks I'm overreacting.

hana

that fucking sucks and you have every right to be upset, if someone even stole my lip balm i’d be upset, it’s not about the value of the thing or how big it is, it’s the feeling of getting violated along with the fear. I’m so sorry this happened to you guys, i hope you both stay safe and well <3

Sian Hoy

Damn…im so sorry that happened to you OD and Blaire…people can be so unbelievably stupid it truly makes you question how they are still alive (and not gone coz of their stupid actions…)I hope very soon these issues can be sorted out and you both regain piece of mind. 💓

Calida

I’m so sorry to hear this happened to you guys. These people have gone mad doing the dumbest shit and at what cost? What drives someone to wake up and decide to steal someone’s license plate? I hope you’re all doing better and I hope this gets sorted out as soon as possible. ❤️

kasey

omg pd, god bless you guys and may you all be safe

Yedi

Oohh....that's horrible )-:

BlueStylus

that's really horrible, i know this is a really unpopular opinion but you gotta get out of cali. everything is incredibly expensive there and the crimerate is pretty bad. obviously there's crime everywhere but please keep yourself safe and think about moving out of the state, i know it's easier to say than to do but i think it would be worth it for the peace of mind. praying for you 🙏

Gina

Ugh this sounds incredibly frustrating. So sorry you’re dealing with all this. To hopefully provide some comfort, stealing license plates is a crime that typically has nothing to do with a personal vendetta. The perpetrator has another charge and their plate would reveal this, or their plate is visibly questionable, so they’re trying to hide/stall. They assume folks in nicer neighborhoods won’t have anything on their record. A local station around my previous residence recommends security screws (screwdrivers won’t do the trick) and don’t bother with a plate-frame, since that is easier to pry off. Hope everything is returning to normal!

Gina

P.S. Forgot to clarify—stealing off cars in driveways is common, unfortunately. With people being less neighborly, plus hesitant about confrontation, the thief can behave calmly and not draw much attention. Maybe your community on the Neighborhood app can agree to report such matters to one another (“House #306, were you changing your plate around 11pm?”), prior to making assumptions and calling authorities. That way things are noted accurately too.
