Shires was performing at City Winery on West Randolph Street when someone broke into her vehicle and snatched some of her very personal property.
Shires tweeted that among the missing things were "All my thesis writing and new songs and journal." She added, "I'm the one who doesn't ever do a backup."
All my thesis writing and new songs and journal are all gone...I'm the one who doesn't ever do a back up... https://t.co/CrAxTWQFqy
