Hey Mikey! I was actually the employee that worked at BLKDog Coffee that made your Green Tea & your Beignets! First off thank you! We've been so so incredibly busy since you came by and everyone has been so kind, we've sold out of beignets every single night since you've been by. (the Owner has no clue to why) Thank you again and I think a defogging spray like the kind people use for their car windshield should solve your lens fogging problems!

[@GSnip3]

That and also using a shaving cream also helps to!

Why did the beignets have green powder?

[@knight1970]

Mike, you should take that missing envelope issue seriously. Call your financial institutions and get credit monitoring enabled as soon as possible. This is a classic identity theft situation. They have your name and an several addresses. You need to get on top of this immediately! Please!

[@MikeyChenX]

yup did that

[@isPOOThoovy]

@@MikeyChenX As a Houstonian, I really hope things go well for you. Sure Houston can be ghetto in certain areas but we're not all like that. Apologies for leaving a bad impression. :(

Happy to hear you did Mike. Stay safe and I hope the Houston area was fun for you otherwise.

[@PinoIcepop]

The letter thing is scary. Make sure you watch your credit report like a hawk now. And maybe move all your money to a new account. And inform your bank

[@greyeaglem]

Usually it's men who open envelopes like that by tearing the end off, so I would guess your culprit is a male. With everyone having remote locks now, I imagine there is some kind of tool out there that can scan radio waves until it hits the one for your car. I don't know this for a fact, but it makes sense to me that such a device would exist. The weird thing is they took the time to open the envelope and leave it behind instead of just grabbing it and taking the whole thing. Why risk the chance of getting caught while opening it instead of just grab and run?

[@thetraveller334]

@@greyeaglem lol. You watch a cop show or two and you think you’re an expert.

[@TrackMediaOnly]

@@greyeaglem With practice most anything can be done faster and just tearing off the end can be quick. It isn't a male or female thing it is a ease thing. It seems likely they left it, and tore only the end, in the hopes the person would be slow to notice anything wrong.

[@niccopernicus8966]

Beware identity theft

[@greyeaglem]

@@TrackMediaOnly Not that many people open mail that way, and of those who do, the majority are male. I don't know why, that's just the way it is. In this case it may have had a purpose to it as he did say he had it in a cup holder so they probably put it back with the open side down. It seems they planned something using his identity and the longer the time before he noticed, the more time they had to put their scam in operation.

[@bumpinggums412]

Report this matter to your local police also to all three of your credit reporting agencies call your mortgage company to let him know that there may have been a breach with your information that can go on to the black web and you will forever have problems

Hey Mikey- something to consider about the Cajun population in Houston. While we do border Louisiana, we also got a huge population increase post Katrina of people from Louisiana rebuilding their life after the storm. Our food culture changed radically with the increased diversity of people. Now you can find tons of Louisiana and Cajun cuisine thats authentic and actually spicy!
