has anyone ever noticed that the lame stuff happens right when your the most stressed out and unhappy? well it sure did this week for me. ive been going to school forever, im finally gonna get my phd next month so im working on my final project. people who said they were gonna help ended up... well... not. so that was fun. im having issues with my boyfriend. the people who own the house im renting are thinking they might sell so ill have to move. one of the people i work for just wont take no for an answer about a show he wants me to direct and then.... on sunday i come home from hanging out with some friends to find that my gt has been broken into and all of my cds are stolen along with my walkmen and my backpack which i usually bring everywhere with me. ugh. my car stereo is still there, and an envelope containing 100 dollars cash also still in the car.. and they kicked my car and put a huge dent in it. we know they kicked it because you can see the shoe print in the dent. im sorry, i hate to complain but it really made me mad.... sorry.

My 3rd year, somebody stoll all my engine dress up stuff (black chrome with gold lettering) while I was parked RIGHT IN FRONT of the bar (they were nice enough to replace everything with old rusty stuff-so it could have been worse -
Later someone pulled a hit and run.
So I feel your pain!
What are you studying?

Wow, that really blows. I've had weeks kinda like that before, not too long ago actually. There's nothing you can do but damage control and repairs for the car. The rest is completely up to you. You just have to keep your nose to the grindstone and keep your determination and focus

Yeah .. sometimes you get a week or so like that. Where everything seems to be against you but there are other times it's all right.
Like once you've received that PhD you hard so hard for .... that should brighten your day.

Sorry to hear about the bad things, but glad to hear things are looking up.
One of the cars I had while in college (in the early 90's) was a 1978 Chrysler LeBaron (with a 318) that I got my Senior year of High School. While attending college I lived at my grandmother's in a fairly rough neighborhood in East Knoxville - a case where a formerly nice, middle-class neighborhood had gone way down hill (crack houses, drive-by shootings, etc. at the time), so I always locked my doors and never left anything valuable in the car. It just had the stock, factory am/fm radio (didn't even have a cassette player), so no one wanted that. Strange thing was, although I always locked my doors, many mornings when I sould come out the doors would be unlocked. I started double-checking to make sure the doors were locked and, sure enough, many mornings they were unlocked. The car didn't have electonic locks, so that couldn't have been the problem. I couldn't figure out this strange phenomenon until I began to see a pattern - it was usually only after the coldest nights that my doors were unlocked. That and a few other, very small details helped me figure out what was going on. Apparently, a vagrant or vagrants was using my car for a comparatively warm place to sleep on cold nights. It was kind of weird but, being that nothing was ever stolen and no damage was ever done (the seats were the originals and had some ground-in dirt from a previous owner that even apholstery cleaner wouldn't get out, so some bum sleeping in the back seat wasn't going to hurt anything.
Eventually, that car started having troubles and I had to park it until my dad could come by so he and I could work on it. When we got around to working on it, something about it looked strange. I finally realized that, although I had bought new tires shortly before parking the car (under the carport outside my grandmother's house) the ones on the car when we got ready to work on it were bald and worn. Then I noticed the wheels (nothing special - I never changed the plain, old stock wheels) didn't look exactly the same and I was missing one hubcap. Apparently, someone stole all four new tires off my car and replaced them with worn out ones with it parked right outside the house. Thieves suk!

At least they left you with something! They coulda' left the car on blocks.
When they took all my engine stuff they forgot to put the hood pins back in and the hood flew up and was ruined, the hinges were tweaked and the roof of the car hat a dent from the crown of the hood. It was dark so I didn't see what the thieves had done until I looked at it the next day.
they'd taken the valve covers, the air cleaner, the gold/black battery, the pulleys, -everything, and replaced it with rusted & pitted crap.
I was sick to my stomach, but I was happy they'd at least replaced everything . . . It was probably someone who'd seen the stuff at a car show.
It was weird though. (strange concept -thieves with a conscious)

I don't think it had anything to do with having a conscious or feeling guilty. I think the thieves replaced my tires and wheels (and your motor parts) so that it would take me longer to notice, further decreasing the likelihood I could report it to the police in time for them to suffer any consequences. I imagine they didn't leave me with any tires at all out of the goodness of their hearts but for their own, self-serving reasons.
yay for people.
