sigh.

1. Got out to the car this morning, discovered Moya had been broken into. Or not broken, since one of the doors was unlocked. (no broken glass=plus). They'd dragged everything out and searched through the glove compartment and papers in the console.

What they ended up with (if memory serves):
1. baggie of pennies, couple a nickels. Possibly 1.50.
2. Flashlight with bendy neck, but no cover for lightbulb.
3. Almost-never-used jumper cables (DAMNIT) that dad bought me for my birthday a few years ago. They were SHINY jumper cables.
4. bag of plastic gloves, almost empty bottle of brake fluid, possible bottle of oil, miscellaneous crap in the trunk (like, bags, and a box...)
5. full bottle of anti-freeze that doesn't work in Moya anyway (YES, finally, it's gone) -- and that's if I hadn't taken it out, recently.
6. one pair of dollar store sunglasses (srsly, man. Dollar. store. sunglasses. wtf?)
7. Stuff from glove compartment, pens, possibly a cassette tape or two (no idea).
And, the one thing I'm pissed as fuck about:
8. my camo-green sweater with the turtleneck of Doom that is the BEST THING EVER. Fuckers.

What they didn't take:
1. hookup for cd player to tape deck and cigarette-lighter adapter.
2. CHICKENS. There would have been murder, if they'd taken my chickens, man.
3. Timey's purple boots (still in the trunk from Wizard World).
4. Spare tire (thank god).
5. Open and half-used anti-freeze bottle.
6. Two purple sweatshirts, and two bath towels (I've been leaving with my hair up when it's wet!).
7. MP3 player--it was in the house (HAHAH. MY PARANOIA WINS OUT)
8. IPass.

so, yeah. I was late to work. And spent most of the day feeling out of sorts and a bit disconcerted. Sigh.

In other news, the weather was niftykeen.

Sunlight, until the 1/4 mile before 43, where it was suddenly Grey and Foggy--and looking back, you could see nothing but Fog. Then, halfway down 43, two seconds after FOG, it was sunlight and happy breezes.

Ack! So sorry to hear that. Did you file a police report?

I have to ask... these chickens in your car aren't alive, right? Come to think of it...chickens could be a good security system. They certainly squawk loud enough.

So these genius thieves took your $1 sunglasses and your sweater but not your sweatshirts. So are they fashion conscious or stupid thieves?

Dollar store sunglasses can be so easily mistaken for Ray Ban.

No. Nothing was broken, and, well, given that the police didn't care about a drunk driver, I didn't think they'd even worry about something this small.

THEY ARE. Obviously. I was going to replace them soon, too, 'cause they're a bit cloudy.

Oh! And the chickens are rubber ones, on a bead necklace that Timey's mother bought in New Orleans a few years ago for us.

Yarg!

*snugs*

Want I should send out some warwolves? It would at least be amusing...

YES. They could patrol the alley.

*stares* You know, if we ever tried to give our cat a bath, she'd look... kinda like that, actually.

Left eye twitching with murder on her mind? :D

Yes! Oddly, now I kind of want to do so... hrm...

*keeeels them with fire* Oh, well. We can replace the jumper cables easily enough. They must have been going around trying doors...I don't see how they could have noticed the unlocked door through the tinted windows, really.

*nods* Yeah. I'm just... saddened, since they were a present from dad. *sulks*

And I figured they must have been trying doors--I don't think they broke into the boys' cars, since there's no glass out there. I also think they were pros--went for stuff they could sell, rather than the stuff that would be sentimental.

So sorry to hear that Moya was violated. Bastards! Thank goodness you're not out too much, but bummer about that sweater that they took. No doubt they will have lots of bad karma for some time to come. I have faith in that.

Grr. I hope so, man.

Didn't your other Moya get stolen and stuff taken?

*Bad guys leave her car and stuff alone!*

*hugs*

[identity profile] dreagoddess.livejournal.com 2006-10-04 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs* Glad they missed most of the good stuff, and I'm sorry this happened. :(

But yay for the chickens being safe!

[identity profile] pinkdormouse.livejournal.com 2006-10-04 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
That was seriously sucky. At least they left much of the really important stuff -- I once had my lucky dinosaur stolen out of a car -- yay for chickens. And no damage is also a bonus.

May you be blessed with even shinier jumper cables very soon.
