A very nice week
At some point during the night on Wednesday, someone tried to steal my car.
Despite the fact that my particular car is notorious for being easy to steal, this unknown criminal mastermind failed to complete his nefarious plan.
Instead, all he accomplished was ruining my steering column. With his master plan foiled by the intricate inner workings of a 96 Honda Accord's
ignition switch, the criminal genius implemented Plan B: Steal Everything In The Car. Unfortunately, that haul included my favorite (i.e. only)
leather coat and enough electronics to be worth more than the car itself. It also included the previously mentioned ignition switch, which I
suppose he took home with him for future study and practice. Yes, folks, he could take the switch OUT of the steering column, but couldn't
actually START the car. Right. Anybody who's ever hotwired a-... errr, I mean watched more than three movies in their life knows how much sense
THAT makes.
This, of course, leaves me with no car, no coat, no cell phone, no OTHER cell phone, no car stereo, no work laptop, no- ... well, continuing to list
the astounding number of expensive toys that I left in my car would just be embarrassing, so let's just call it quits right there. You get the
point.
So now I'm knee-deep in the world of police reports, insurance claims, and explaining to everyone at work that I am an idiot.
Other than THAT, things have been going just fine.
Oh yeah, no BoDP Friday. Maybe BoDP Monday... we'll see.
I am not a Character.
I am Real.
And I know where you Dream. |

Just an observation here, I've always thought that car alarms were stupid, irritating, and pointless. In light of your experience, I'm starting to
reconsider that point of view. Especially when the stuff IN the car is worth more than the vehicle itself.
The act of censorship is always more dangerous than whatever is being censored.
