It’s 5:12AM and since there is no one to vent to, I will vent to my blog. I just went upstairs to grab my cell phone when I noticed, through the window, that the interior light of my car was on. I looked closer and my trunk was open. At first I thought I had made the mistake of leaving it like that after washing my car today, but I quickly realized that wasn’t the case.
I went outside and sure enough, after I had spent 2 hours cleaning it today, everything was all over the place. My deck, amp, subwoofer, mp3 player, and the laptop under my seat (used for gps) was gone. The worst part? It was all done while I was working downstairs. It is partially my doing as I must have forgotten to lock the car–or else the alarm would have gone off.
I’m pretty angry right now. Not so much because my stuff is gone, but because people are low enough to do something like that. I’m reminded of the quote by Winston Churchill, “If you’re young and not liberal, you have no heart. If you’re old and not conservative, you have no mind.” In other words, as you get older, you experience more of Life’s crap, which hardens you and makes you view things more rigidly. I feel that it’s experiences like these that build peoples’ prejudices. I’d be lying if I said this experience didn’t taint my view of the kind of people I envision breaking into my car–the rugged, lower-class, lazy, and drugged up young male from the bad side of town. It’s harsh, but I’m sure most people have their own vision of who this person is–this person becomes more defined every time we have a bad experience with them.
Anyway, I’m trying to take a philosophical stance on this issue. Less is more as the Cynics would say. The more possessions you have, the more you need to worry about, and the less possessions you have, the more free you are. In the end, the stolen stuff was just that–stuff. However, I would still like to land a few in-between the eyes of whoever stole that stuff. Bastard(s).

*sigh* i’m sorry…
Don’t get too hardened, u r right about what kind of person did this, but, there are lots of good people in the world. I understand the feelings tho, as some years ago I experienced the same thing. As you said, it is just stuff, and you can get more stuff.
Hardened yes, but it also makes us realize as you said… less IS more…
Not fun, Not cool… but…
just remember that the good far outweighs the bad,
and karma is a you know what….
Of course, it is awful but you should remember that it is a chain and everything returns to them in double force!!!
Auch. We tried the same a few years ago.
If there is something in this world that i cannot tolerate it is theifs..
People who steal other peoples belongings, that they worked so hard for.
It can be really hard sometimes and no wonder you are angry!
I do hope you will get it back though, if you are lucky. You never know
Stay positive.
that sucks dude
sorry to hear. that sucks
Plus you just washed it, man!!! I would be so pissed, I’m sorry about your loss. By the way, you might want to take a few pictures before you touch anything. It’s good for insurance reasons and police reports.
At least your car didn’t get stolen!!
Oh… That’s just really bad. But yeah, at least they didn’t steal the entire car.
