I had a wonderful day on Friday only to be back handed when I got to my car. I was parked on a busy street a couple blocks from bart and as I was walking up to my car I saw a cop car sitting behind it. I was thinking did I park illegally or something? Were they giving me a ticket, but as I got closer they pulled away, so I was like okay they were drinking coffee, I don't know. But when I got to my car my back side window had been smashed.
TH had just detailed my car, so all that was in it was my backpack with my Optifast food that I had forgotten to take out when I got home that night. I knew it was there, but I didn't think I would have to worry about it since it was a highly traveled road, with a market 15 steps away. I had even stopped to think maybe I should take it home, but I thought it would be safe enough. It was only my food.
In the front seat I had a garmin and a wireless for my phone, a few dollars in change and a swiss army knife, all left untouched. It was a typical smash and grab. Only that grab was going to be like 20 pounds.
For all it is going to cost me to fix the window and get replacement food, I wanted to see their face when they saw that they got diet food. I hope that they are really skinny and I hope they try it and I hope they gag on it.
It isn't the first time my car has been broken into. When I was in Seattle I parked on the street by a hospital and my car was always broken into. I ended up leaving it unlocked so they would stop breaking my window. I figured at that time they wouldn't try to steal the car since I was really right by a hospital and they must have some compassion, - and it was never stolen, but it was periodically riffled through. So I learned early don't leave anything in your car.
I am always amazed by people who go for walks and leave their car in a parking lot and leave their purse in the car. I understand that they don't want to carry the purse, but if you are walking then don't carry your purse in the first place. So I guess I just did the same thing, I will not leave anything in my car when I am parked on the street. But I am not sure I would leave it unlocked now either.

So sorry - broken windows are a real pain in the A$$. As you know, the truck and the older X5 have been broken into many times & they're parked in front of our house. You were in a fairly busy area - just bad luck. There are a bunch of homeless who hang out near BART, but catching someone is pretty unlikely. I thought I was referred to as "TSH" rather than "TH" - what's TH? Whitemop wants to know.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! I too would like to see their faces, serves them right! Thinking of you!

This is horrible, I'm sorry this happened :( I don't think it was a homeless person though, it was probably some sort of libertarian!
