Well, crap. Somebody broke into my truck today and nabbed my iPod. Not exactly the disaster to end all disasters, but you folks can imagine......I mean, it is my main source of music on the go, and pretty much at home too.
The irony is that I the car was parked outside of a Buddhist center where I take classes, and on this particular day was volunteering to help clean up the place. This being the case, I just had to kind of say, "well, that's the way it rolls....." you know, such is life.
So, spending the rest of my holiday weekend essentially carless (they busted out the passenger window), and trying to plot a scheme to raise the cash for a new iPod, I really can't do without for too long.
For what it's worth, I have no thoughts of being singled out, nor do I have vengeful thoughts. Just, that's how it goes in the city is all......
Pardon my mild rant here, but figured some of you could relate.
Damn.
And yes, the music is all backed up on my computer (thankfully).
As a last aside, I pretty much saw the person who did it. I was finished for the day, and just had to run an errand a block away, so walked (having dropped the ipod in the car). This person passing me kind of turned around and for a second I thought, "That was a bit suspicious," and almost went back. Lesson learned. I would have called the cops, but I think you know how that goes.....just, not a lot of motivation to track down one iPod. And I wasn't positive it was this person, of course, so I had to give them the benefit of the doubt. It was kind of a rough looking street-type though, and she (yes, she) had a backpack....and I saw her two blocks down the road (after) kind of looking into cars. I'm sure it sounds like I should have done something....but imagine if I was wrong.

I got my tape deck stolen from my car twice in my life (one with the proverbial window smashed too), now I never left my car outside a paid parking lot if I can help it.
