The Worst Year Ever!

As everyone who knows me already knows, this year has not been going so well...

I am not going to relive all the details as to why this year has sucked so bad, but I will add the newest chapter. Today is my birthday, which would normally not seem like such a bad thing. Shawn and I went over to Dad's on Saturday to celebrate his birthday and he gave me a TomTom GPS for the car as a gift. I never leave things like this in the car, but yesterday Shawn and I were out running errands and since I wasn't driving I took it with me in the car to fiddle with. I accidently left it in the glove compartment and didn't remember until the evening. Shawn went out to the car around 10 to get it and found the front passenger door window smashed in. Since he didn't know what I usually keep in the car I went out to see what had been taken. To my complete surprise...the only things missing were 5 quarters! The nickels and dimes were still there, the TomTom was still there, the deck of cards I keep in the glove compartment as well as my phone charger and the AUX and iPod connector cords...all still there!!! Someone had broken my window to get into my car to steal $1.25! I couldn't believe it! We called the police to file a report and discovered from the officer that 5 other cars in our apartment garage were broken into that evening as well. I spoke with the office manager this morning and found out that 3 of the cars had nothing stolen at all, one besides mine had some change stolen, and one guy had his wallet in the car so it is obviously gone. What kind of desperation is there that someone would break into 6 cars around 530 pm on a weekday just to steal some quarters and a wallet with no money in it? I can't understand it! Anyway, so happy birthday to me. Now I get to spend $300 replacing the window of my car that is only 2 months old - on my birthday. yay.
