goodbye to a few more items

My car got broken into a few weeks ago. Those guys jimmied my drivers and back passenger window. I was able to see the scratch marks. I don’t know why they picked my beat up car. I guess it is the easiest car to break into, compared to the Porsche in front of me, the BMW to my left and Jaguar to my right. That just pissed me off (again). Standing outside my driver’s door looking at the mess they made inside my car staring in disbelief, wondering how could this happen to me again. Why my car? Farewell to my Maui Jims, you served me well for 5+ years. I’m not too pissed because I used you so much and scratched the hell out of you that I don’t mind getting a new one. But with the morning sun blazing into my eyes, I still miss you when I’m on the road.
So long Oakley’s, you fitted so well around my ears and nose and helped me through one marathon and a few half marathons and 10K’s, but your lenses were quite the disappointment since I first tried you on that I spent my first running hour with you in complete regret of purchasing you on FINAL SALE, NO RETURNS. With you gone, I now use that as an excuse to run indoors. Lastly, my glasses, you were such a hit when I first got you. Everyone loved the frames and you made me look smart. But now with you gone, I can’t see at night, I can’t see the signs in the grocery aisle, I can’t see period.

The wires to my car alarm were all snipped. AAA did not hesitate to replace the alarm and fix up the windows. I kindly asked if they could just give me the money to compensate for the items they don’t cover. What good does an alarm do anyways? Has an alarm ever helped anyone? Of course, AAA preferred to fix my alarm instead. Stupid people.

did you leave all this stuff out in plain view? Never leave stuff out or it invites thieves to take it. It happened to Gigi and Simon too.

not much was left in plain view. There was a plastic bag in the back seat with cookies in it. My gym bag was in my trunk. My driving glasses were on my dash board and that was it.
