GDMFSOB!!!

Rough start this morning…  The Mrs and our daughter are out of town, and per usual when the Mrs is away, I did not sleep well.  Nonetheless, I was up at 5am and out the door around 5:40, cuz it’s a “gym day”.  M,W,F I hit the gym before work, but I digress …

As I’m about to leave, I’m wrangling the house rabbit back into his pen and I notice the little bugger had chomped through a nearly new charger cable.  Chewed that sucker into 3 pieces.  In about 2 unsupervised minutes.  That makes about 10 cables he’s destroyed over the last few months, and this particular one was only a week or two old.  So, naturally I’m irritated, but such is life and I had bigger fish to fry -primarily getting to the gym and then to work by 8am.

Then I get to my truck and go to throw my bags in the passenger door, when I see the cab of my truck is in total disarray.  Uh oh…  That’s not a good sign, but it’s still pitch dark and I can’t really see what all is missing, so I figure I’ll go work out and then deal with it.  Only trouble is, when I go to put the key in the ignition I discover some piece of human refuse tried to STEAL the entire truck – the steering column is all busted up and the ignition switch is broken, wires pulled out, just completely inoperable.

Capital F to the You See Kay!!!

So now instead of going to the gym and work, I’m calling the boys in blue at 5:45am, filing a police report, then dealing with insurance, getting a tow truck, arranging for a rental car…all that “fun” stuff.

Aside from the broken column and ignition switch, they also broke the exterior door handle on the passenger side.  And, to add insult to injury, they also stole about $1,000 worth of tools and personal items like sunglasses and such that was inside the cab.

Yes, I know it’s only “stuff” and I’m lucky they DIDN’T get the whole truck.  But I’d be lying if I told you I haven’t been in a murderous rage all day, nonetheless.

So happy I pay a generous premium to live in the “nice” neighborhood…/s

No moral to the story here kids.  Just me “ranting” cuz I feel a burning desire to load a scum bag into a wood chipper, feet first, Which in my not so humble option is what ALL thieves deserve.

I guess I should consider myself lucky.  I went through a rash of burglaries about 25 years ago – my car was broken into 3 times and my storage unit twice. (That one HURT!! All my drums and music gear were wiped out with NO insurance.) All that happened in the span of about 3 years. But things on the crime front have been good for a long time.  Be that as it may however, I have a deep, brutal loathing for thieves.  I guess it’s good that I didn’t hear the commotion as I would have, likely as not, answered that call with Mr. Nineteen-eleven for backup and ventilated some POS in my carport.  I can only imagine (being in California) the day that followed that kind of scene would certainly be worse than the one I actually had.  I’ve had copious amounts of rage bottled up for several decades, it’s best that I didn’t intervene.  I was looking forward to a great week, not catching felony charges.

Anyhow, it’s been an absolute shit day.  I hope yours was better…

Serenity now, serenity now, serenity now…

Tomorrow is a new day.

Thanks for stopping by.
