Bad Carma
I got in my Kia this morning & noticed that my stereo was stolen.
I've been leaving my car unlocked for some time now. I started doing it because sometimes the locks would freeze open and sometimes they'd freeze shut, and I was sick of cranking on the door and/or climbing in through the passenger seat. Since I have a detachable CD face, and I don't have anything else of value in the car, I just decided to leave it unlocked, thinking if someone really wants to get in my car, they'll break the window anyway.
Well, no other cars on our street appeared to have been broken into, so I guess maybe it would have helped to lock the doors. On the other hand, I sure am grateful that I don't have to pay to replace a window. I wonder why they didn't take any of my law books from the back seat?
On Saturday, Paul (neighbor) woke us up to inform us that our Subaru had just been smacked in a hit & run. It was just after 9 a.m. He heard it, and saw the car drive away from his living room window--didn't get a license plate number but was sure it was a gray car. He and Shad went out to survey the damage and after a few minutes decided to drive around and try to find the guy.
Check it out. They actually found the guy about a mile away. Unbelievable. The guy pulled over on a side street, and Shad pulled over in front of him. There was a dumpster in between them so the guy didn't really see Shad, but Shad could see in his side-view mirror that the guy was just sitting in the car. He called the cops.
The cops showed up, and told the guy to put his hands up. Cop opened the car door and the first thing that comes out is an open container. Dude is drunk. Cop searches him and finds a bag of weed and a bunch of money. The cop looks in the trunk and finds a safe, more money, a bunch of baggies and a huge stash of weed.
Awesome.
I decided to bring Baby Secrets to the library. She's been a big hit, but I will admit that several surrounding tables have cleared out and glances have been thrown my way that I could describe only as "sidelong."

I cannot BELIVED someone nicked the stereo from your unlocked KIA. WTF? Isn't there some sort of unwritten crooks code that's against crime'n when it's just too easy? There is no glory in stealing from an open car. Pansies.
The Subaru story is out of hand. Shad told Steve and I about it before the movie on Sat. Crazy and yet very classy.
Right. Just why it's so shameful to cheat at bridge--because it's so easy. Or at least that's what "they" say, and I often listen to "them"...
Anna, no one knows shit about bridge, but we'll take your word for it.
What?! Baby Secrets was at the library and I never got to see her?! That's not cool. She'll just have to make a reapperance (perhaps at law prom!).
-s.
I was just catering to my highbrow audience, Jeeze!
