So, yeah, the economy is running on hamsters.

People are getting rid of their pets because they can’t afford to keep them anymore (for a nominal fee, wouldn’t that be a great present? Especially given the circumstances). There apparently was a run on Uno at Target this year because it was completely sold out at the Target I went to- you should have seen the “Under $10″ end cap display in that toy aisle. And now this.

I was recently a victim of this myself. I took advantage of the fever-pitch panic-stricken email alerts from retailers this Christmas and entered my promo codes to get 25% off my entire order and free 2nd day shipping on a Victoria’s Secret order. It was definitely time for some new bras and they never have my size in store (because I have no boobs to speak of) and with the weather nasty outside (we’re finally in double digits again- whoopee!) I excitedly ordered the long “Jane” pajama.

It shipped, it came, and it went. Someone stole my Victoria’s Secret package from my front lobby! Which is kind of ridiculous if you think about it. They can’t return it to a store for money because of the VS return policy and what are the chances the bras will fit anyone beyond junior high? Give those bras for Christmas and you’re likely to insult the giftee.

And the thing that really gets me is it’s not like it was a great big shiny Amazon box or a sure-thing Target package. I mean, whatever’s in there; that stuff has got to be awesome! But Victoria’s Secret? Really?

Of course I wrote a nasty note and left it on my door (which I intended to use as a picture here, but in my rage I actually, honesty, really misspelled “neighbor.” I know, I know.). Public shaming proved no match and the bras remained pilfered. Thanks to VS’s seriously notable customer service though, without question or hesitation, they’re resending the order to my work address today.

That said, I still think it’s kind of gross that someone is out there wearing my underthings. For shame.
