Stolen Wallet – Longshot

This morning I came out to find my window smashed and my wallet stolen from my car. I live in East Downtown off Delano and believe it happened early this morning. First off, I know I’m an idiot for leaving my wallet in the car but it was an honest mistake. I left it sitting on my passenger seat after picking up some takeout.

Discover messaged me at 5am asking if I tried to use the card at Handistop 20 which I believe is a gas station. When I Googled the name it shows somewhere off 59 near Fifth Ward/Kashmere Gardens/etc… I don’t know if my wallet made it that far but at least the cards did.

I’ve cancelled my cards & filed a police report. I know it’s a longshot but if you’re out and about and notice a brown wallet (Saddleback Leather Co) randomly thrown to the side please let me know. The wallet, cards, cash can be replaced but there was something sentimental in the pocket. My dad gave me a prayer coin before he died nearly 20 years ago. I’ve carried it in my wallet since then and that’s honestly what’s killing me most about my dumb mistake.

So if you notice anything on your walks or whatever, thank you. Reward obviously offered if found. Not getting my hopes up but you never know.

When I get back into town I plan on stopping by the gas station but don’t expect much. Thanks again!

Any tips on the adult hockey scene in Houston? What are the leagues, quality of play, best rinks, etc?

The last posts on this topic are a bit old so figured I’d ask again. Just moved to Houston and would like to start playing adult hockey as a hobby/means of staying in shape/socializing. I played my entire childhood including a couple years of AAA in my high school years but haven’t touched a hockey stick in about five years. I’ve tried to look for some info online but a lot of the rink websites don’t seem very up to date or informative. Seems like there are a couple of leagues around though.

For starters, are there stick and puck sessions at any of the rinks? I’m not too worried about skating coming back to me as I’ve skated a couple times in the past few years but I’m very worried about my hands. I definitely feel like I need some time to get myself back into it.

Next, any suggestions on how I can get more information on the adult leagues in the Houston area? Additionally, what is the quality of play/culture like? I know adult league usually goes from Novice -> C -> B -> A but the corresponding quality really varies depending on location. B in Minnesota might be A in Florida for example. How does one get involved joining a league/team? Are there tryouts? Do you need to know somebody? If I realize I’m rustier or in better shape than I thought, is it easy to move up or down levels? Are the leagues at one rink better than the leagues at another?

Really just looking for any info to help me figure out how to get back into playing hockey here in Houston as it is something I’ve started to miss. Appreciate the answers!
