Sick. Seriously sick. I had a ticket tonight to Metro and am in hell. I drove down to work (we have parking on Lower Mich.) so I could stay late. I brought a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt so I didn'[t dufus out in my suit. I went out to change clothes at 5 and had a minor problem. No car. For first time in my life I was hoping for a pirate tow company but the shattered glass next to the space I parked in and the sh$t eating grin on the officer's face that was not the case. I am pissed. The dbpm sticker should be enough of a warning to step back. I am in what is like an inverted version of Alice's Restaurant. I am on a bench at 11th and State filling out forms and have to go home and explain that the gifts I was hiding in the trunk are no more. Glad it was small stuff, glad I wasn't in the car, with the kids. Anyway, sick. Let me know how it goes, and just know the dbpm sticker is not as effective as an alarm. Updates, por favor.

Oh my god! That is terrible! I am so sorry to hear. Good vibes from southeast TN coming your way.

 

Thanks. Wilco fans are the best in the world. Was sitting on train on the way home and this is the kind of post that pulls one up by the proverbial boootstraps.

People who steal are horrible people.

 

I had my backpack stolen out of my trunk in the fall (among the contents my less-than-a-month-old macbook pro) and it was so violating. I can only imagine an entire car. Maybe the police will find it!! Did you have insurance? Maybe you can get some sweeter wheels?

 

Hang in there!!

Turned out ok. Didn't mention the subterfuge I was using to store cash. My wife has spent the last two years worried her position would be eliminated. My daughters are older, so expensive gifts are the way. Every payday(every two weeks) I had been stashing 20 dollars in the secret camry light compartment to srpris them with something nice for christmas. Pissed I missed wilco, but was sick over 500 hidden dollars would never be recovered. Whomever stole the car wrecked it a couple blocks from work, and the Chicago police tow lot was kind enough to let me go in car, grab my clothes, cd's (The Wilco deluxe, Being There, Kicking Television) were right where I put them. Then I cringed, popped the little trap door, and Christmas is back on. the dbpm security sticker doesn't do so well preventing theft, but it does lure thedumbassess who steal your car into not finding your secret Christmas stash.

 

Again, mad I missed the show tonight, sick that car is totalled, but insurance covers car, and the surprise gift money was intact. Wilco loves me baby.
