Villains
Definitely not how I wanted to start my Sunday.
Angie woke me up a little after 4:30 this morning. She said she heard two pops and glass breaking. My first thought was gunshots, even though I didn't follow Ricky's advice about gunshots and get low to the ground (I went to the window). Initially I thought my car was safe, but Angie looked from another window and saw that it was indeed my car that was broken into.
The driver side back window was smashed in to gain entry to the car. The vandals then destroyed the ignition system in order to hotwire the car. They didn't get far because they most likely heard Angie yelling about calling the cops and ran off. The trunk was also open which I think they popped with the trunk release since there were no signs of forced entry there. They did take an air compressor out of the trunk and it was smashed on the ground.
The most frustrating part of this is that the police wouldn't come to look at the car and make a report. All they did was give us a case number over the phone. We took it upon ourselves to take photos for insurance purposes. AAA got us a tow truck, but the driver said no place was open on Sunday (everything bad always happens to me on a Sunday when nobody is open/available). The best he could recommend is to disconnect the battery and leave it till Monday and then get it towed to a repair shop.
I don't even think the car is worth getting fixed. It's a 95 LeSabre, so the repairs might be more than the cost of getting another used car. This is frustrating because classes start up for me in a week and once Angie has a job, we can't be competing for use of one car.
Problems just keep piling up and there isn't any relief. Life sucks.
