Thank you Mr. Professional Thief
This morning as I got off the train and was walking up to my car, I noticed that the front door was unlocked. "OH man, here we go", was the thought that went through my mind. I was thinking that perhaps the lock was busted, the window might be broken and that everything else in the car was trashed. But no, the lock was not busted (slimjim job), the window was not broken and the seats were not trashed. Yes, the stereo was gone, but Mr. Professional Thief did not hack the wiring harness. I have to admit that yes I am bummed out, but I am happy that it was not the trash the car while I rip you off scenario.
With that, I must give a big thanks to Mr. Professional Thief.
I'm off to eBay to buy a used Honda stereo for $15 plus shipping.

ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!! dude, this is one of your funniest posts yet! I'm proud of you for finding the humor and the positives in an otherwise bad situation.
i left my car unlocked a few months ago while running in to grab a cup of coffee. i usually lock it up--but not this time! sure enough, when i came back, the iPod was gone as was my old Palm Treo. i was pretty bummed to lose the iPod and to be that stupid.
