Broken Glass

This morning I was walking up a street around the corner from where I live. Strewn with yellow and brown leaves, damp after last nights rainfall. It was also covered with broken glass in one place beside a car.

 

Yes, the mystery car thief has struck again. Its hard to understand what he gains from this. Its entirely opportunistic, his targets are at random, and judging by the stuff left lying around the car I passed today, he simply isn't interested in what he finds. So is after anything specific? Apparently not. I actually start to wonder if he's doing it just to be anti-social, though it has to be said he did search my car fairly thoroughly.

 

After all the vandalism thats been going on, the garage across the yard have left their external lights on all weekend, leaving me to sleep through a dull orange glow from my bedroom window. It must be said, the volume of people hurling taunts and insults in the small hours has decrased noticeably - along with an increased police presence I'd suspect.

 

If only that were all. The alleyway beside the block of houses where I live has become a favourite dumping ground for someone. Mattresses and binbags regularly appear, and of course, so do broken bottles.

 

To quote Blondie, they 'like the sound of breaking glass'.

 

Breakage of the Week

We all do it. In a moment of detached clumsiness we all drop things. Only this time, I didn't just drop it. The plate slid out of my hands like it was propelled by strange forces, scattering piled crockery and utensils waiting to be dried on my kitchen top before sliding to the floor and disassembling itself into random molecules. Then the dislodged stuff followed, and despite my heroic efforts to catch things, most ended up following the plate like inanimate lemmings.

 

I definitely heard the sound of breaking glass. Don't like it.

Someone broke into your car? :shock:

 

I'm so sorry to hear it! Hope everything gets straightened out right quick! It's getting too cold to be riding to work in a windowless car!

It makes no difference in reality. The car was well and truly killed off last year mechanically two months after I bought it. I've had long arguments with the police over it. Fact is - somebody wants me to get rid of it and wanted me to do so right from the start. Not until they own up to what they did.

A life might be a better idea. Then they'd have something to do other than invent reasons to upset other people. problem is, the sewer rats in my area are too full of themselves to notice how lifeless they are. They give themselves value by sneering at other people. They think thats cool - I think they're sad, which they just cannot comprehend at all.

 

A boot to their head might be more satisfying in the short term. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll certainly consider it :D
