I did use the Google site before posting, but I had location services turned off for privacy reasons, and that is coming back to bite me in the ass.

It's very fucked up. I get the impression his whole plan on "visiting" me was stealing my phone. Unfortunately, I know he has a gun, which affected my sleep-deprived decisions.

Looks like there's a chance I can still get a replacement off Amazon today. I've got my mom on the order and a friend willing to take the delivery.

It's really disorienting to not have a phone.

I have a couple of people I could try to nudge (ironically because he introduced me to them), but at this point, I have a prosthodontist appointment tomorrow, and I need to be able to order a Lyft.

Needless to say, I'll not be willing to let him into the van again.

What's additionally fucked up is the state of our police department. There's zero point in filing a report. They simply do not care about the livelihoods of residents; essentially, unless there's a current risk of bodily harm, they just don't respond.

Just sitting in a parked car with another squad car (well, they're usually SUVs at this point) is way easier than doing any policing.

This is simply the reality we've come to accept. We nominally have a police force, but they're still salty after an attempt to divert funds to things like social services and mental health that got the Legislature called into a special session a few years back to make it illegal to lower police budgets. (I shit you not, y'all; anytime Austin attempts anything progressive, Hot Wheels calls a special session to make the new ordinance/plans illegal at the state level.)

They've now got a giant budget, but still do nothing, because that's just easier. No matter how fucked you think Texas is, I guarantee it's worse.
