What a Ride

Some jackass decided it would be the fun thing to do and broke my back window out of my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Out of all of the windows someone could break, they break the one I look out of the most with tint (front windshield doesn't have tint). Naturally the cost of repair will be around $500, but thankfully I have full insurance and won't pay a dime other than the cost of gas to drive my happy ass up to the dealership.

This is the strange thing about it though. They didn't take anything! Not as if I had anything valuable in my car, but they could have taken something. I had an ice scrapper, Maglite, jumper cables, two truck tie-downs and three of my favorite hats in arms reach. Does the person who broke the window not like anything of mine? If they don't, then that's the ultimate put-down.

They risk getting caught and getting thrown in jail for vandalism (five other cars in my neighborhood last night alone), make me clean up tiny pieces of glass in which I cut my hands a few times, lose whatever object they threw at the car and they don't even bother to take anything to reward them of their quest? What kind of sick, young f&*@ does stuff like this?

Life is about risks and rewards. The person took the risk of getting caught and thrown into the city pound-me-in-the -___ prison, he should have at least taken a reward. My Chicago Cubs hat might look good on him. It's practically brand new.

So, anywho, blogging will be light today while I try to replace my back window and make sure they are connecting the defroster correctly, and the rear windshield wiper, and handle to open it, and the shocks to lift the window and the neon lighted sign that reads "Too Legit." It's a shame. Now I have to buy a new Texas Tech University sticker too. Maybe I'll get one of those silver car ornaments instead?

1 Some folk are mean just because they like to be mean. Read up on Sadam's sons or Joe Stalin or Yasser Arafat. Meaness for the pure sake of meaness.

2 That happened one night in my entire neighborhood and they were all Jeep Grande Cherokee's. Totally ridiculous. Sorry it happened to you. Cindy

3 Oh so it's an SUV thing? They could have at least had the decency to spray paint ETA on my car then. Instead I get vandalized by little punks. Where are the pros when you need them?

4 I could see someone doing that just to steal the ice scraper. Not kidding that thing is INVALUABLE and yet I always seem to misplace mine. I am that girl scraping ice off her winshield with a plastic spatula and her nails underneath her gloves.
