What might Ladron mean in English? It means Thief!
Monday afternoon my mom took my dad to the bus stop in downtown San Jose and they had dropped me off with Irene at her home in Escazu. Dad had to get back to work! We were sad to see him go! After mom dropped him off at the bus station she made one more stop to see their lawyer then she came back to Escazu around 4pm. My mom was super careful as they had my portable oxygen machine in the car. Once mom made it back to Irene’s she gave a big sigh of relief. Mom always parks the car in their garage but when she arrived at 4pm Irene’s car and her mom’s were in the garage. Don Kiki,Irene’s dad, was cleaning out the car so mom parked our car in front of their garage respectfully waiting to pull the car inside once Kiki was finished cleaning the car. Irene’s parents have a gardener and guard at their home and mom did not feel worried about the car as it was locked and it was still daylight. Around 5:30pm one of my doctors called and mom was on the phone with him for 45 minutes. After she hung up the phone she realized it had become dark and asked Kiki if we could move our car inside the garage.
Too late. Mom went outside and the cars was unlocked and my O2 machine was gone. They had broke inside our car and just took my air away!
Thiefs are so stupid. They did not take my charger to the machine so the machine in the end is of absolute no use to them. I dont think they will be going online and purchasing an AC adaptor for $200! This was a very big loss, and a very expensive machine that I can use to take with me when I travel in the car or fly. Thankfully my Uncle Jesse is coming to see me in a week and he will be bringing me a new one down. Lourdes, Irene’s mom, thankfully has an O2 concentrator from when her dad was not well so we were able to use the machine while I stayed with them. I do not use oxygen all the time but there are days when I need it and oxygen is something you have to have whether you need it or not because when you do it need it there is no time to waste.
My mom just new my dad would be so upset but you know what he said to my mom? He told her that it was a material thing, that health and happiness were more important. That we would get another one and not to worry so much. Thankfully we were able to purchase another one and my Uncle Jess will be bringing it to me soon. Mom says, those Ladrones will have Karma catch up to them one day!
