Degenerate Dirtbags Strike!

So here's another story of Baltimore ruining your best attempts to be an upbeat human:

This morning was starting off well, until I got to my car. I must have left a door unlocked, because someone had gotten into the car without breaking a window. They took many things of value (or seemingly of value), here's a quick rundown:
  • XM Satellite Radio Receiver (worthless to them, it has a unique ID and can never be reactivated by anyone but me)
  • Bluetooth Hands-Free Set (cost to me, ~$80)
  • A bunch of CD's (I have all the music on my computer, so I can burn replacements)
  • My backpack (annoying, but it's a few years old)
  • 3 12-packs of soda, about 18 loose cans of soda, half a box of "Famous Amos" cookies, and a bunch of single serving potato chips
  • A kitchen knife that I'd left in my car by accident
Paradoxically, they did not steal my car charger for my phone.

It's not really the kind of thing that actually hurts you financially. It's the kind of thing that pisses you off at humanity, or rather the trash that passes for humanity around here. Just some white trash kids from the neighborhood in a crime of opportunity I suspect.

I really feel like I have contributed something to this city by trying to live here as a professional and make it a better place and this is how its residents repay me. It's this sort of thing that makes me think that really, I don't care about improves this city. Sometimes, I just think that maybe these people deserve to live in the filth they've created for themselves.
