Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

The Worst Way to Wake Up

January 12, 2005 - 11:51am

“Um, Jenna?”

(Not even half awake) “Yeeeah?”

“Phone for you... Someone broke into your car.”

(Suddenly completely alert)My car? You're fucking kidding me.”

My parking service had called the police and had an officer waiting on the scene when I arrived with Abie.

I walk around to poor, wounded Russo. His driver's side window was busted in. Nothing was even taken. The CD changer was still in the trunk. My glove compartment had been rifled through, but all my paperwork was still there. My one comfort is that the interior lock on the driver's side doesn't work, so whoever was responsible had to lean through the window, all over the broken glass, and hopefully will be finding glass in their clothes for a few weeks.

My roommate Allison's car was also broken into overnight. She parks two lots down, a block away. The officer asked Abie and I if we have any enemies we could think of that would have targeted us.

No, I said. It's just an unhappy coincidence.

If nothing else, I now feel like I've gotten the full urban experience. Yey.

That's awful, Jenna. What're you gonna do? That kinda freaks me out. I park in the lot right next to yours. Like, I see your car on a regular basis.

So, let me get this straight, they busted out your window, but nothing was stolen? Damn, that's messed up. I'm sorry Jenna, send my love to Russo for a speedy recovery.

What am I gonna do? Get it fixed. Cross my fingers that it doesn't happen again. Not the way I wanted to spend my money (it's going to make things really tight for my again, JUST WHEN I WAS STARTING TO GET AHEAD, GEEZ) or my time (you know I'll be finding fucking glass all over my car for months), but as they say, shit happens.

Our car was busted into once. It was in a bad neighborhood and was very scary. I will never forget it. Good luck!

Oh shit, Jenna! I read in an lj group about your car, so I wanted to write and give my, er 'condolences'... Poor little Red! At least nothing was taken though. Take care! I hope you can get the window fixed on the cheap!
