I am looking for prayers for return of a missing handbag, keys and credit card. It could not have happened at a worse time. I was at a trade show I was so looking forward to. I must’ve sat down my bag, and someone picked it up. Security was extremely tight, and this tradeshow does not lend itself to theft. My handbag was inside a large, colorful bag handed out at a natural herb booth.. In addition to my handbag were my credit card and keys. Every possible scenario has been explored. Everyone connected to the trade show itself, the Colorado Convention Center, especially security, and the company who tears down convention shows, known as GES, have been so kind and compassionate. The show producer and her staff - also very kind, and even offering prayers. I would like to thank God and offer my gratitude and blessings to be showered upon the dozens of people who have tried to help me. My car was towed to my home, where it will be ticketed in a week during street cleaning. I need to leave town to visit my gravely, ill sister, and I don’t know what to do. I am so lost and feel so abandoned. I cannot lock my car. Within the next few days, I will have to buy a plane ticket and leave my car on a relatively busy street - unlocked. I really don’t have the money, but a safer choice will be to have a new key fob made before I leave town.
Thankfully, no one has attempted to use my credit card. During a convention takedown, random items are logged by a special code, and nothing that matches that code has been turned in to the show producers, teardown team or convention center security. The only possibility left is that it got boxed up by someone helping one of the 600 or so vendors, and they didn’t look inside the bag. Within the next several days, they may open their boxes, see an unrecognized bag, with a leather handbag and keys inside. That does not sound feasible, but it is my only hope. I’m asking that you pray it has been overlooked and will be discovered by the GES team that tore down the show or one of the vendors. If it was boxed up and mailed to one of them, please pray it be discovered sooner, rather than later. I have had three sleepless nights, was already in high anxiety and anticipatory grief because of my sister‘s health. I have two other extraordinary crises hanging over me. I need to know that God is still with me. I make lots of mistakes, but I do so much good in my community and elsewhere. I feel like my entire life will be defined by what I’ve lost, especially family and friends. I need this situation to be resolved immediately so I can have renewed hope, at least on some level. My deepest, thanks, gratitude and blessings to anyone who reads this.
