Time to Bring Back the Neighborhood Watch

Last night we all heard a loud thud. We assumed it was an animal, knocking over our trash again. When I left for work this morning, there was a brick on the trunk of my car. Some person threw a brick at my car in my driveway, probably trying to hit my rear window. There is a sizable dent on my trunk now. My car is merely a means of transportation to me, but this is low. I would guess this is some neighborhood kid with nothing better to do while he is on winter break. Reports have been filed but will probably amount to little. There are places in the United States, where you can leave your car running with the windows down, and your car would be safe. Unfortunately those places are fewer and fewer nowadays.

Such is life. Don’t sweat the petty things. Pet the sweaty things.
