all the bad news

It seems like lately everytime I read a headline it's about someone shooting up a mall or church or schoolbus. Well those are the ones I have seen in the last week or so. This is supposed to be a giving time of year, but it is so stressful. You go out on the week-end and there are at least 10x as many people out as there used to be. Everyone trying to buy all those presents we have to get for everyone.

Well last night all this bad news struck close to home for us. No, nobody was shot, thank goodness it wasn't that serious. Our neighbors car which was parked right outside on the street was broken into and all his stereo stuff was stolen. The crooks broke out 3 windows. Why 3 windows, except that maybe there were a couple of them and they each just started in on a window. We just got our new Versa over the week-end, which was parked right out there too, it would have been a real bummer if it would have been our car. As it is I am just bummed that it happened, and feel terrible that it was our neighbor. Crime is ugly no matter where it happens or who the victim is. It saddens me and frustrates me that someone felt that they had to break into the car and steal the stereo equipment and CDs.
