Thieves and Scoundrels
« on: May 18, 2004, 09:01:33 PM »
Someone stole our car stereo.

While I was in the mall for 10 minutes dropping off dinner for my husband.

And it's really my own fault for not grabbing the faceplate this time.

*sigh*

I think I'll go play in traffic now.

That sucks.  I find it horribly depressing when I loose a buck, a stereo, ouch.  Was it a NICE stereo or just desperate theives and scoundrels?

It was fairly nice.  We bought it in december of 2003.  I think it cost us $99.   The LCD faceplate was cracked though (and therefore useless, visually), because we always used to bring it in, and my husband left it on the floor one day and I stepped on it accidentally.

But now we have no music.

Well, that sucks.  I am sorry.  That is a nicer soundsystem than I have ever owned, but the extent of my stereo systems is a ten year old $20 boombox, sooo....

I'm just mad at myself, and I hate dealing with my husband when he's grumpy.  This is going to make him grumpy every time he gets in the car.

I'm sorry. If I had a car stereo, I'd give it to you. Course, I don't have a car stereo.

the problem is not that you didn't remove the face plate, but that you didn't leave a bear trap for the thief's hand.

No, your thinking too small.  A heat sensored death ray.  There is no way ANYONE would steal you car stereo OR give you a ticket if you had one of those.

Yes, because Bear traps are known for their graceful disposal of thieves, scoundrels and the occasional traffic cop...

I generally prefer the careful positioning of a trusted henchman to prevent and discourage members of the less noble public from tampering with my ride.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I'd just leave a guard Koala in there. Even with a stick, those things are vicious enough to be a deterrant.
