Half a pack of cinnamon Dentyne, a handful of change, the owner's manual for a Dodge Caliber, and a 6-yr old iPod Shuffle that barely works...

My car was broken into today, although to be honest "broken into" is not the correct phrase since I probably left the car unlocked, as I am want to do. Bottom line...my car was messed with last night/this morning. I went out to my car this morning to leave for work and there were three CDs on the ground outside my car--which I thought was odd--and when I got in the car, there was stuff strewn about.

I'm thinking it was probably just kids but seriously, even if they are not honest-to-goodness criminals, my car must be a complete disappointment. The above-noted items, the ones missing from my car, are probably the items of greatest value. Although, I admit that I am a bit confused by their taking the owner's manual. It was in a little case, but it's not like it was a special little case, it was the one that came with the car.

They will probably be very disappointed in the iPod. It was the first version of the Shuffle and since I tuck it into the waistband of my running shorts, I think perhaps it has been exposed to a bit too much sweat over the years, and it regularly goes on the fritz and deletes all but one and a half songs--and almost invariably it is my least favorite one and a half songs.

Oh well. Maybe this will teach me to lock my car in the future.
