Is it week five? Maybe it’s actually four. I guess the 2nd was my month anniversary. So…four?
This week on the unemployed front has not what you would say…good.
I’m going through a lot right now so that’s making it hard, plus I just went a week without any work. And those student loan people are not being very nice to me. I’m stuck owing them a lot of money.
Anyway, I was leaving the apartment today to go pick up a check from the last temp job I worked. I was going to walk and was bolting forward to the gate in the garage and for some reason something pulled me to just drive instead. So I walked around to the driver side of my car and the back driver side window is broke! It’s broke in a really weird way. I have no idea what they used to try and smash it. They did a poor job. They took my toolbag, which really makes me feel good because that’s what I use to work! YAY!!! Luckily my multi-tool and knife were in my room. But the whole bag of tools was gone and that was my life force.
The way it was broken allowed me to tape it up a little so that I can at least use that until I can afford to get it fixed. I don’t understand why they chose my car and I don’t understand why they broke into that side of the car. When that side is facing a half wall and a pillar is so close to it that you can hardly open the door to begin with. Let alone use whatever they used to try and bust the window. There’s no leverage room to swing something…unless they used a fist/foot to try it.
Now, I’ve had my car broken into before. Last time was in Chicago with my old car. They busted the same back window and stole a bag of Sun Chips and my stereo face plate. Somehow this time is even worse. My tools…MY TOOLS!!! And I had JUST moved those to the back seat, they were taking up shop on my passenger side for quite sometime. Also bothers me that whoever did this is using my tools to break into other people’s cars. Get a life. A small part of me thought it could be someone I know…but really who do I know that would do such a thing?
Where’s Oprah when you need her? I need her sympathy and her wealth to buy me a new set of tools and a new tool bag.
Check out the break…
Moral of the story? No matter where you are…don’t leave anything in your car.
