OK, so no one said that burglars are rocket scientists, but why, oh why, did you have to steal my brand new XM satellite radio receiver out of my car last night? OK, so thanks for not taking the registration – that would have taken me weeks to replace. And thanks for leaving the charger for my phone…and thanks for not breaking the window or doing major damage to the car. And maybe you did me a favor by stealing the CDs out of the console because maybe there was a reason they were in the console and I can’t remember what CDs they were – read, they had been there for quite a while and not missed, even now. But, jeez, I just got the XM receiver two weeks ago. And it’s not the top of the line or anything. And, for goodness sake, the moment I noticed it was gone – clue: the car door was wide open at 6:30AM today – I called and reported it stolen and now there is no way to get it registered it for an XM subscription, unless you guys have figured out how to steal that too.

Living in a city didn’t seem as cool this morning.
