I have no idea what is wrong with the world today!Sep 20 2007 11:27
Our car stereo was stolen last night, and we live in a nice little country area?so I?m still flabbergasted that it happened. We?ve lived here for ten years, nobody locks their cars, it?s just that kind of community and this morning my husband goes out to head into work and someone had ripped the stereo right out of the dashboard.
They also took three cases full of CD?s and now I?m stressing because I?m a writer (as in books and short stories some poetry) and I have no idea if I had any backup CD?s in those cases. I still have everything on my computer---I didn?t lose anything----and all my work is © but the idea that someone might have any of my work?is reading it uninvited is as bad as someone reading my personal diaries.
The thing is I always keep a backup copy in the car just in case, I?m paranoid about losing any of my work?even the stuff I never intend to try and publish?so I keep a backup out there as a ?Just in case? thing?I mean if the house ever burns down (god forbid) I wouldn?t lose all that hard work?.and this happens! I don?t even know if there was one, the one in the glove box was still there---but I have had some (in the past) in my CD cases---and if there was one it had to be from a couple years ago but still it?s put me in a foul mood this morning.
I?m angry and frustrated! I could care less about the CD player, but my work---all I can do is HOPE that I didn?t have a stray backup disk in one of those cases :( and if I did they?ll just pitch it when it doesn?t play in the stereo?the thing is I always write the words ? Writing Back Up and the date??so someone might think to stick it in a computer.

This has NOT been my week *sobs*
That's horrible! I don't know if this helps but chances are if they're stealing car radios they won't even bother reading past the first line of it IF they even go so far as to put it into a computer. They just might think it is someone's school assignment or something. I hope your day gets better. I would say not to let it bother you but it would be in vain. I'm still upset about my patio set being stolen out of my yard early this summer. And that was just a patio set. {{hugs}}} |
Of course, you feel violated! I'm so sorry for your loss and stress. But chances are they were stolen to sell...usually for drug money. Yep, drugs do exist in rural communities, unfortunately. In any case, there is nothing you can do about it, so try to let the anguish go! |
I agree...drug money. CHECK LOCAL PAWN SHOPS immediately! |
