I am telling you, this kind of thing could only happen to me.
Now, itapos;s not that Iapos;m the only person ever to be robbed, and I am not actually the one who has been robbed, so thatapos;s all right, but the confluence of events within the time frame -- only me, man.
Lucky left from Texas early this morning to drive to St Nowhere and pick me up, since I have to be out by the thirty-first. Iapos;m completely packed -- I donapos;t even have any pans or the toaster or anything out, so all Iapos;m doing now is cleaning.
Mum just called to let me know that he might be a little late getting here because heapos;s behind schedule since his truck was robbed last night and he had to make a police report and get it looked over this morning.
Me? Furious at the WORLD.
Itapos;s not just the theft, which is bad enough, but the timing. Stealing a car stereo from a man about to do a two day drive in TEXAS is cruel and unusual. Fortunately they didnapos;t take the battery or the WHEELS, but they did get the stereo and weapos;re just lucky they didnapos;t steal his work badge, which heapos;d left under the seat. They also broke the seal on the rear windshield and tried to move it. And as his deductible is $1200 (which is fucking ridiculous, if you ask me) he isnapos;t even going to bother reporting it to his insurance because all theyapos;d do is make him pay it all himself and then jack up his insurance rates.
Iapos;m guessing itapos;s probably the guy who installed the ball-hitch on his truck, since we live in quite a nice residential neighbourhood miles from ANYWHERE and our street is so deep in a maze of suburbia that I actually have to have a map to get out to the main road. Itapos;s not like we got gangstas cruising for wheels every night. And our address was on the work order for the hitch.
So he still has his car, and Iapos;m going to buy an AC adapter so that I can run my laptop and weapos;ll still have tunes. At least he didnapos;t actually buy the stereo; it came standard with the truck, and while replacing it will run somewhere in the area of $500, weapos;re in a position to be able to save up for that at the moment (ie, both he and my mum are employed and nobodyapos;s having a dental emergency, touch wood).
Itapos;s not quite as despicable as stealing a bicycle, which is the most heinous theft one can commit, in my opinion, but itapos;s still damned annoying. On that note, Iapos;m off to tape up the last of the boxes and pack my suitcase.
