So, I’m all for urban pioneering, before I moved to Atlanta I lived in West Philly for 3 years and never had a problem. Well, this morning I was on my way out, looking all cute for work… it was even my seasonal skirt day (as in I hate skirts and only wear them about once a season and today was it)… when I get a knock on my door from one of my neighbors. Apparently in the middle of the night there was a mini crime spree through my neighborhood and three cars on my street had their windows busted out. You might be wondering how no one heard this. Well apparently the trick is to break the glass with a spark plug, it then spiderwebs instead of pops and shatters, and then they can just push it out. However, my poor little Sparky (yes, that’s the name of my car) put up a valiant fight and wouldn’t give up his glass. So then the little bastards took a utility knife and bent back the frame for my window. I’ve lived in the city long enough to know not to keep anything valuable in it, but I guess they could hope. So they pulled everything out of my glove box, the center console and all the back seat pockets… all while leaning in through the window of course, so my ghetto alarm wouldn’t be tripped by actually opening the door. Well kudos to you a-holes, I cant understand why you didn’t want any of the following:
- a learn spanish the easy way cd
- about 8 AAA maps
- a windup flashlight
- juniper scented body spray
- my beat-up old Nokia
- a Glamour from ‘05
- $3 worth of change
- the clicker to my garage at work
- riding gloves
- a can of deepwoods off (i know it seems odd to keep in the car, but you never know)
- some melted makeup products
- and an old wallet with pictures of my ex in it (thanks for finding that, I was wondering where my wellesley student id went to)
Whatever, just had to vent. I’m crossing my fingers that my car will be forever remembered as the plastic piece of crap with absolutely nothing good in it. I guess I can look on the bright side and say that now I’ve cleaned all the useless sh!t out of my car, and the floors have been vacumed.
