  • The hits just keep on coming.


    On my way out this morning, my uncle came back inside and told me that someone broke into the Civic and stole the stereo.  I went to go see what happened and the passenger window had been smashed.  A card was left on the windshield by the Sacramento Police Department saying they were there at 4:40 AM and had found the car broken into.  They tried knocking and ringing the doorbell but there was no answer.  I had heard knocking and a couple doorbell rings at 4:26 AM, and irritated to be woken up from my slumber, I had not answered the door.


    My uncle demonstrated a patience that I had not seen from him before.  He said that it was good that they had not broken anything else, referring to the ignition and steering column, in an attempt to steal the whole car.  Maybe it was his way of coping.  I just hope that the insurance will cover most of the cost of replacing the stereo and replacing the window.
