Default Congratulations!!

This message is for the wonderfully stupid person who broke into my 1989 Lincoln Town Car at the Pulaski Orange line station. I would like to congratulate you on a job well done!

You broke a small window on my back door with a rock, but were too dumb too break more glass away, so there was some of your blood on the inside door handle. Then, you take my snow brush and attempt to pry my dash pieces back to get to my radio. But, it broke, so you left the brush. Assuming you weren't wearing gloves (hence the blood) you must have left numerous finger prints on it, along with the blood all over it.

But that's not important. I'm not going to come after you. You are safe. All you stole was the faceplate of my radio. You left everything, didn't try stealing the car, or insurance and registration cards. You got away clean with the faceplate from my 10 year old Aiwa radio. I'm sorry you had to leave the rest of it. But just so you know, I hope you enjot 97.9. I say this because, well, it's the only station you will get. You see, the only buttons that work on the face plate are the preset #1 button, the power button, and the volume ****. So you can't change the station, the radio band, or anything! So you can turn the Loop on, off, up, and down! So bravo my friend! Enjoy!

Everyone, three cheers for this criminal genious!!

thats pretty funny, why the hell would you just steal a faceplate? Sounds like a criminal mastermind to me! Sorry your window got broke though, I'm sure they'll catch him theres got to be finger prints all over the place and I'm guessing hes too stupid to not have his prints on file someplace

Oh yea, he must've been a genious. I'm not persuring anything. I'd have to file a claim with my insurance company, and my deductible is $500, which is all I paid for the car in the first place.

Anyone know of anywhere I can get the window fixed up cheap?

It was a weird day to begin with, on my way there this morning, the dumpster behind the BP station on 59th and Pulaksi was on fire, and the wall behind it too. I called 911, even though I figured someone probably called it in already, and noone did! The fire was pretty big, so it mustve been going for a while.

The city's a strange place sometimes...

I had a feeling it was you! I like how you left the ice scraper wedged in the dash.
