FML

So I bought a $4,000 Honda Civic about a month or two ago. It's a piece of crap. It gets me from point A to point B and I've been very happy with it. Included in the package was a stick shift that actually fell off while I was driving, but I can use the metal piece to drive it, and a weird tire/brake problem that makes my car squeak each time I put pressure on the brakes. No bigee - it adds character. The third magnificent piece was an OLD after-market CD player that no longer played CDs. The radio worked, but I got commercial CDs to play about one in every twenty attempts.

My car got broken into tonight. It really sucks. They stole the deck, (the CD player/radio thingy,) and totally jacked up the inside of my car. They also stole my $700 guitar - one of my last valuable possessions. I'm really bummed about that.... Last week, a friend of mine who was leaving the country gave me a free subwoofer that cost like $200 or so, and they stole that too.. but it's okay, I didn't have enough money to install it anyway so it was just sitting in my back seat. My car still runs, but the whole front section is just a mess of wires, and I think they broke a few things as well. But, as long as the engine turns on, and the wheels move, I guess it just gives me something else to laugh about in my life right now. I think - with everything else going on - is a missing car stereo and a free subwoofer I wasn't going to use really worth getting upset about? They (luckily) didn't open my trunk, cause I have like $1000 worth of stuff in there, (where else am I going to store it?)

But at least some kids now have a deck that doesn't work at all, and a cool new subwoofer they can put in their car to make loud noises that will make them all go deaf. My initial thoughts were that hopefully, one of them will feel really guilty about it and decide to make some huge change in their life that leads them to go volunteer for the Peace Corps or something and make a difference in this world. Minus that, I guess they could all get gangrene, or have erectile dysfunction on their prom nights or something. :)

I wonder if my insurance covers this.......
