Just What I Wanted to do Tonight
... wait for the cops.
I managed to forget to lock my car last night. (Thankfully, that was a night in which I did not also leave my keys in the car, which happens sometimes.) Someone opened up the car, tossed my CDs around, threw all the stuff out of my glove box, and walked out with my XM radio and my various car chargers. Ironically, the chargers (for the phone, the iPod) were worth far more than the radio.
Yes, I should have locked my car. But it's really irritating to think that some jerk around here thinks it's just fine to come onto my property and help himself.
He didn't take any CDs. I guess "Story of the World" and an Arkangel production of "Macbeth" just didn't do it for him.

I'm so sorry about the jerk.
We've been through that here, too, except the car wasn't locked, they had to break a window to steal my son's stereo.
Mfg in 1987. Worth, well, nothing.
But after our $100.00 deductible and the other 300 or so to fix window/replace stereo...
You have my sympathies.

Well that sucks. :( It's pathetic when forgetting every now and then leads to something like this. Jackasses.

Bummer. When I was new to the big city, I left my car doors unlocked, and someone stole my backpack (easily replaceable) that contained my Organic Chemistry textbook ($80, when we had $20 a week for groceries) and a binder with an entire semester's notes in all my classes. (I had to track down and borrow other people's notes and copy them. The week before finals.) Oh yes, and a bottle of bleach. What bugged me the most was that this stuff was absolutely useless to the thief, and probably ended up in a dumpster somewhere. (I didn't live on or near campus because of the crime rate.)
After graduation, I moved to a small town where a crime wave means two underage kids caught drinking in the same week.
