Thievery

Well, for the second time in my life, my car stereo was stolen.

I was cleaning out the Honda, getting it ready to sell, on saturday. I must have forgotten to lock it (although I always lock it). Anyway, that night, someone opened the door somehow, laid the driver seat back, turned off the dome light, pried the stereo out, rifled through the glove box/center console and left. All in the crowded parking lot of my apartment complex.

I am not sad about the stereo, it was a cheap Aiwa that didn't play half of my CD's. Street value: 20 bucks, if you find a real patsy.

I am sad about the CD that was in it at the time.

The last time this happened (different car, my BMW, about 6-7 years ago) I had been listening to Supertramps Breakfast in America. I loved that CD.

This time I was listening to Jeremy's new CD. And I hadn't even heard the whole thing yet.

So, to you idiot car thieves out there, take the time to hit eject on the CD player before you jerk it. Most units will allow you to do this without accessory power. Oh, and I hope someone hits you with a truck. Not hard enough to kill you, just enough to make you an invalid so your thieving-for-crack-money days are done.  ¶ 8:03 AM
