    Sometimes it really is worth laughing.

    I can't even be mad about this. In a minute you will know why.

    I left my truck at my aunt's house while they were out of town and used her car. My truck needs cylinder heads badly. Anyways...I picked it back up today and noticed my back window wasn't all the way shut. Now the town it was in is known for shenanigans these days and its unfortunate because it's not a very big town. Anyways I didn't realize thieves had been in my truck until I went to the gas station to grab a monster or two and wanted to burn up some change in the door pocket to pay for it.

    Change gone.



    Five dollar bill gone from the cubby.

    Grrr...someone has been in my truck. But wait, my door was locked. Who crawls in through the back window, steals change and a five, leaves all the tools and the dvd player...then either crawls back out the window and TRIES to shut it or goes out the door but has the forethought to relock it for me?

    But wait...there's more. Been stopped up today a bit, figured I should take a docusate. Can't...pills are gone from the door pocket on the opposite side. Don't know what docusate is? Let me help you, it loosens your stool SIGNIFICANTLY and works for a FULL DAY OR MORE. With one or two pills, the drain gets unclogged.

    I'm not even mad. I can't possibly be mad. I haven't stopped laughing like a Dr. Evil for half an hour. If whoever stole them took "a few" he/she will be married to the john for the next two or three days.

    Now, that's hilarious!

    Useless tangent: I had one truck broken into once. It was my 1987 Chevrolet, and someone stole the radio (It was the worst aftermarket unit I've had- I don't know why they would want it). Two weeks later, I made a pickup of our collection bin, and guess what was in there. Apparently they didn't want it either. I doubt they'll give you the pills back, but I bet they won't be keeping them too long!

    So, they gained $5 in exchange for feeling miserable for a couple of days. Seems like a fair punishment!

    Ha ha.

    Talk about a ****storm.

    Sucks they broke into your truck.

    You could say they scored the biggest load of their life...

    It was a crapshoot an they lost. No need to poo poo things, I'm quite glad they will get it in the..end.

    Sirscrapalot - No really, I did just say that.
