So tonight after getting back from my evening walk with a couple of my co-workers, I go out to my car heading out to Family Dollar to pick up some more cold medicine.
When I get to my car, guess what I see? There is a flattened piece of metal with a bit of a strip hanging off of it, stuck inside my driver's side keyhole. At first I'm flabbergasted, and then I try to pull it out. It was stuck in there pretty good, although I did managed to get it out.
The only conclusion I can draw is that some kid was trying to break in to my car. Why, I cannot even begin to fathom. They could easily see I have NO radio (the space is completely empty with cords hanging out..) The only things visible are some books, an umbrella and some miscellaneous papers/trash. In other words, absolutely nothing of any value.
Maybe they wanted my car. HA HA HA HA!!! (It's in really bad shape cosmetically. Rust, some kind of white substance on the paint, crunched up hood ... etc, etc.)
I do have some stuff in the trunk I wouldn't want to lose if someone decided to drive my car off - not really valuable perse, but would be a pain to replace.
I think though it had to be a fairly young, inexperienced kid attempting this. Because it isn't as though my car would be at all difficult to break in to - anyone with a coat hanger and a small bit of skill could do it. Plus they had to have done this during broad daylight - unless they did it last night after I got home from my babysitting job.
Bizarre.
I wonder how much longer I'll have my car.
Say what??

Although I guess I might have a few parts left that someone with a similar car might want enough to steal for. *shrug*

HH - I used to do that - leave money in my glove compartment. But after my car was broken int years ago, I stopped doing that.
