I woke up extra early today to go to work, I’ve got a busy week ahead of me. Packed my lunch and walked outside to find my car…nowhere. This is a familiar feeling. This has happened before, two years ago. Whose car gets stolen twice from in front of their own home? I thought this neighborhood was nice enough but I still parked my car under the motion sensor light just in-case. New sunglasses, precious wakeskate, lifejacket & wetsuit top, ipod…probably never too be seen again. I probably care more about my Integrity wakeskate than the car, although I’m sure I can get another wakeskate.

My roommate comes running out the front door this morning in her pajamas as I’m filing a police report, “Dude! I heard your car start at like 2:30am, I was wondering where you were going! I had a dream my car was stolen so I woke up in a panic to check!” Her ballin’ tahoe was parked right in front of mine, doors open, valuables inside. Idiot’s for theifs if you ask me. Better my beater car than hers though!

Luckily this time I’m 21 and I can rent a car. Last time I was stuck taking the very poor public transportation all the way to FullSail everyday. Time to start car shopping…Odds are I won’t see my car again. ’93-’98 Honda Civics are the most stolen cars. I think most of them go straight to a warehouse to be stripped. I got pretty screwed over when they found it last time, I ended up having to rebuild the transmission shortly after with no help from insurance. I had esurance then (jerks), and so far with this process I’ve been very pleased with Progressive.

I wonder how car theifs work though. Do they have it planned out or do they just drive around looking for hondas late at night? Because if its planned out that means they’ve been watching us and thats creepy. I feel like my worst enemy just used my toothbrush and I didn’t find out till after I brushed my teeth….ugh.
