Some time last night one of the Nice Neighbors’ cars was broken into. The back window was broken and the stereo stolen, and then the crooks made off down the street and ran over one of the other neighbor’s mail boxes. We, of course, didn’t hear or see anything.

Lin’s a little spooked, but I am not necessarily in fear for our cars or possessions. It wasn’t all that many years ago Brother over there was a teenager, and we were dealing with gang tagging and other stuff. I am not convinced it was a random hit. The car in question isn’t the nicest car in the area, I doubt it has the nicest stereo, and it seems to me they wouldn’t have ambled about looking in all the ratty cars around here hoping one had something worth stealing.

Of course, ask me about that again after one of our vehicles has been molested. For now though, I am going to think it may have been more personal than just a stolen stereo. Especially in light of the fact that last weekend a strange car sped THROUGH the Nice Neighbors’ yard and almost took out our mail box (which wouldn’t have been much of a loss).

In other Nice Neighbor news, Brother seems interested in the Dart. I may have to talk to him about it. If he really wants it, and he would really do something with it, I may very well sell it to him. Not like it would be moving too far away! :)
