Bad Luck

My car was vandalized today. Ironically, this is the third time it has happened to me, each time in a different city. All three incidents have resulted in the same window being smashed. If you are a car thief and happen to be reading this, can you please quit assuming that my Corolla contains items of value??

So for about half an hour I was incredibly disappointed in humanity. Why must people be such mean jerks?? My poor car never hurt anybody! But then a very nice maintenance man offered to help me vacuum the broken glass off the seats, even after I gave him a little bit of an attitude. (I couldn't help it; he asked if I had gotten everything "worked out." Of course I hadn't! I had just woken up to discover that my car was vandalized. Was I supposed to have magically "worked it out" in an hour?!) This small but random act of kindness made me happy. Maybe for every jerkface car thief roaming around, there is a nice maintenance man willing to help you vacuum up the shattered glass.

For the record, these three break-ins have resulted in the following losses, combined: a $25 gift card to the GAP (which wasn't even mine - sorry Robert), earbud headphones, and a couple of jugs of water that cost 99 cents each. Nevermind the stereo or the laptop computer, albeit with a broken hard drive, that I accidentally left sitting in a backpack on the floor of the car. Moral of the story: these are some seriously half-witted thieves.
