I walked through the parking lot and what did I see,
Broken glass all over my seat!
A robber left me such a nice surprise,
A broken window right before my eyes!
They left all valuables and couldn't take a dime,
The only thing they earned was a guilty mind.
Well it really was so,
And how it seems to me,
I get the last laugh because they couldn't steal a thing!
Okay but seriously, who breaks into a car, only to leave everything that is in there.....in there? This question has an very simple answer...criminals do....that is stupid criminals, very stupid criminals!
First things first, I don't know what appealed to these hardened people about my most fantabulous 11 year old Ford Ranger. Maybe it was the decaying paint job, the crater like dents in the driver side door, frustrated scratches surrounding the key hole, quake like cracks in the rear bumper, or the pitiful license plate that is falling off, I mean, I'm sure that reads goldmine all over it right????
I use to think that because my car is so old no one would ever be enticed to break into its doors, only to discover the fruitful jackpot of 2 burnt CD's, some sanitizer wipes, and a car sun visor. I was lying to myself when thinking this, because today I was proven wrong. It's ignorant to think that this will never happen to you, and hiding behind a beat up old car is not fooling anyone, or at least the stupid criminals out there. It seems no one is off of their radar screen, looking for who knows what? Maybe they were hungry and the aromatic stench of P.F. Chang's in the upholstery lured them in, or maybe it was just a rush? There was nothing worth over 5$ in the car, and even that they did not want. I guess some people might take offense to this thinking; "wow, they didn't even want my sun visor that Ive had since high school???" But I choose to look on the bright side. Like I said in the jingle beforehand, all I can do now is laugh about their careless mistake, and learn from the one mistake I did make. From hence forth, I Piper Leigh, will be parking closer to the tenant building, lesson learned.
Oh no! No bueno. No bueno. I had my car broken into when I lived in San Diego. The only thing they took was gum. I mean really, I had some good music in there but it obviously wasn't their type. I'm glad to see that you're taking a humorous approach to the whole thing. Just like in Primary - when frustrated sing "Popcorn."
