PETTY CRIME

About the Book

A quiet evening out with her husband and the children was on the agenda. What was not on the agenda was becoming the victim of a theft. Everyone told her that things were going to be fine, once the police report was filed and the banks and credit card companies were notified. Everyone told her don´t worry . . . But, that was just the start of the problems. When the case was not assigned for a week after originally being reported the damage had already begun. Then escalated. Then, when it seemed as if things could not get any worse, they did. How many times do we stick things in our pockets, wallets, or purses "just for the time being," only then they are forgotten for possibly weeks or months down the road. If something happens and we are the victim of a pick-pocket, how well can we remember off the tops of our head those items in detail that we just wanted to "keep safe." Unfortunately, this type of crime happens all too often, with the victim many times being told to simply accept it and move on. Enter the world of Jennifer Larson as she can see the possible danger but no one seems to believe her.

About the Author

It took a life changing event for Jennifer’s love of journaling and creative writing to surface. Now she says she can find a story in almost everything. Still, sometimes she finds it difficult to find the time to write. Not only is she employed full time, she is working on finishing college and nurturing her family too. Often she can be found with a notebook or journal to “jot down the thoughts” which have become the backbone to some of her tales. That is exactly how Petty Crime came about. After becoming a victim of identity theft, she wrote the nightmares she had down as her way of dealing with the issues. Using her writing a means of “escape,” it is easy to see how readers can become “lost” in the stories. A lifelong resident of Wisconsin, Jennifer is currently raising her two children not far from where she grew up.
