Petty theft
Posted on Friday, July 27, 2007I’m a bit lazy and a bit careless. I know it. Sometimes I’ll put off doing things even when I know I’m being stupid and when I know it will cause trouble for me later.
Ha! I say. I’ll do it in a minute.
One of the things I’m very careless about is locking my car when it’s outside my house. It’s a quiet area and I never worry about these things, but you just don’t know when some opportunistic thief will happen to wander past.
That’s exactly what happened yesterday. I went out to my car and noticed that the glove-box was open and some things were scattered on the floor. A Creative mp3 player was missing and so was a Nokia phone.
I hope this thief enjoys the broken mp3 player and the damaged phone I was too lazy to throw out.

Stumble it!

Your lucky it was not the car they took.
A lesson hard learned.

That’s the problem with restricting Satan and Dermot to back garden duties. If they were out front the thief would be in the glove box in itty bitty pieces. What ever you do don’t tell them, I know your doggy talk is improving daily. They will pick up the vibes no doubt and have an inward doggy chuckle. “That will teach him”, not sure what that translates in doggy but something along Grrrhh woof

Inventive way to take out the trash, Bock. There are crackheads moving into the neighborhood so everything gets locked up.

Y’know, the sad thing is that, if this thieving swine actually gets the mp3 player working, he’ll probably fill it with crap. You should invest in a new exploding mp3 player.

You got off light Bock… Friend of mine woke up one morning to find some knacker had crapped in the backseat when he couldn’t get the thing started… Nasty.

Bastards, even if they got dodgy gear, they are still bastards. Knee capping never really stopped them but did offer a moments amusement…

So, erm. How do I get these lads working, Bock?

Christ, here in Baltimore they break into your car and if you’ve naught to steal they steal the ashtray, the glove box, and the carpeting out of ire.
Frankly leaving defective junk in the car is a damned good bit of an idea.

I live in London and leave my car open all the time as in an extremely obtuse way I figure that it will not get broken into if I don’t ‘play the rules’ by locking it. I keep a now dog-eared photo of me and my then newborn son in the glove compartment that has been in there for 6 yrs now - I leave it in there as a sort of guardian angel against theft and accidents. God I’ve just realised I am a complete idiot weirdo. I must go and lock the car this instant!

Mr Thank God: You didn’t read what I wrote at all, did you?
QJS: Cry haddock, and release Dermot! Is that what you’re suggesting?
Medbh: Yeah. Next week, ‘m going to try a bag of beer bottles, see what happens.
Cap’n: Good suggestion, or I could load it up with Barbra Streisand standards. That would learn the little fucker.
WJJ: Shit! That’s rotten.
Manuel: We need guidance in the ways of kneecapping. Woulod you be a consultant?
Mr Skinner: Press the button marked “Manilow”
Geoff: Thank you. We’ll patent this cunning plan.
Rockmother: In future, I’m going to leave a Jack Russell in the glove box. See how they like that.
