Comments on: ROBBING YOU KIND http://mightygirl.com/2006/08/31/robbing-you-kind/ Famous Among Dozens Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:48:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Phc http://mightygirl.com/2006/08/31/robbing-you-kind/comment-page-1/#comment-3008 Phc Fri, 01 Sep 2006 18:29:40 +0000 http://mightygirl.com/2006/08/31/robbing-you-kind/#comment-3008 You should be grateful. When I was 41 weeks pregnant (may you never see that day), someone broke into my car and took THE ENTIRE FRONT DASH. It ended up costing over $4,000 to fix (thank god for insurance). All for a $100 Best Buy stereo. It got broken into AGAIN a week after we got it back. I cannot tell you how tempted I am to just leave a note on the window that says: If you really need the hundred bucks, come see me. The inconvience isn't worth it. You should be grateful.

Calif. When I came home for a week for Blogher, I found my keys & car stereo face plate in the box I left them in and got in my car to meet friends to drive up to the Bay Area, when I noticed a large hole where the stereo used to be. I drove back into the driveway, went up to the house and asked my brother where the stereo was. He came and looked at the hole in the dashboard and said that it was missing when I dropped the car off last September. It had been in the car last year, and at Christmas, but now it is gone. I was amazed that it was locked since Christmas and he did not notice that someone broke in and stole the stereo...

It was returned a few days later (Monday morning I think) with a full tank of gas, freshly washed and vacuumed, with a note saying "Sorry but it was really important." Never did find out what that was all about. I told him he'd better report it to the cops anyway, so they can check it for bloodstains. Long-ago friend had his car stolen on a Thursday night.

Who robbed you? Alice from the Brady Bunch? Perhaps it was the small ivory toothpick from a Swiss Army knife smuggled in the mouth of an escaped convict. That makes a much better story. A bobby pin?

It's the little things that really matter, isn't it? That’s pretty funny (not ha ha funny of course) and so unexpected that a thief would be so otherwise considerate of your things.

Back in 1997, I got mugged at gun point, while waiting for a green light at 10pm... wallet, coins I had in my pockets (freakin' losers), my cellphone, my watch (my dad gave it to me 4 years before), and I toootally thought they were going for the car... But no... I remained in the car... frozen by the damn gun. A year before, same car, they gracefully stole the grille. Yanked it from the front of the car causing me to pay for a new grille (doh! of course) and for some body repair because they messed up the supports of the grille. But with the first incident, I think that whatever they do to the car... I don't give a damn, as long as I am not IN the car. However, I feel for you Maggie... I would go ballistic if they stole my stereo. No, I don't live in Mexico City anymore... I live a safer life in a southern Mpls. Minnesoootah suburb. =) I used to live in Mexico City… now THAT city is nasty!

It was the used Jeep which we purchased immediately upon finding out about Baby Mason. The Ghia doesn't even have shoulder belts, so I'm banned for a while.

(Ten years later and I'm still bitter.) I would be rather touched too, if the thief took that much tender care.
