A PUBLIC NOTICE: TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHO STOLE MY IPOD CORD OUT OF MY CAR

Dear Sir or Madam,

It is one of my personal convictions to never lock my car. I never have. It is my vote in the goodness of the community around me to leave my car unlocked. Call it stubborn optimism, call it irresponsible or unrealistic, but I choose to believe in the power of your impulse control, deviant.

My car may have been parked on the nicest street in Boulder, but didn't the slightly rusting paint, the cracked windshield, or the missing hubcab on my '97 Suburu deter you? But you saw the GPS mount on the windshield, and thought, maybe you would see if I left it in the car.

Thank you for leaving the receipts and insurance certificates in my glove compartment. I'm sorry the mix cd's in the center console were not up to your discerning taste. You just wanted my ipod cord!

Side rant: This ipod cord was a splurge for me. I bought the deluxe version that both plays your music, and chages your ipod. Since my new ipod refuses to charge on my old ipod accessories, this was the only thing that kept my music charged. So, becuase of someone greedy at Apple, I had to buy all new accessories.

I feel violated. You invaded my space and took my cord, as if you were entitled or deserved it! Stupid hippie communist and/or teenager, or possibly drunk CU student.

Now my ipod is always out of batteries, and I can't listen to my music in the car. You have stolen my morning pre-work sing-along time, and now I have nothing to listen to but the NPR Pledge Drive.

Maybe it's my fault that I left the car unlocked, but I like to think of this as a way to teach you a lesson. I will just trust that your conscience will torture you about this until you see yourself clearly.

So, theif, if you read this blog, please return this cord to it's rightful owner, and save yourself some time in purgatory. Bitch.

Sincerely,

The owner of the green Subaru.
