Nearsighted Thieves

Hello family! Life is going great except for one small hiccup. My car was broken into last night. Seamus was driving me back to where I park on 2nd Ave and A Street and my window was smashed in, my stereo taken and the trunk left open. I felt too disgusted and violated to look at it myself, but Seamus looked around and said it looks like they didn't take anything else. I suppose that's good...I don't have anything of value in there anyway :) Wait until they find out how crappy that stereo is!!!

Anyway, I'm OK though, apart from feeling rather shaken. I'm getting it fixed tomorrow and Seamus has been an absolute knight in shining armor about the whole incident. He drove me home, made me feel better and is helping me clean up today when I come back downtown via trax.

I'm just amazed at the stupidity of thieves. We noted, once we'd gotten over the initial shock and anger that there were no less than three actually VALUABLE cars within 20 feet of my car that had been in that lot just as long. Maybe they were dumb enough to think that red meant expensive, of they were thrown off by the flashy exterior of my cheap stereo. Or, Seamus' theory, they figured I wouldn't have a car alarm despite the fact that car alarms do NOTHING. Whatever the reason, they are very nearsighted thieves to choose my car.
