Last night Claude and I went up to bed just after midnight. We were talking about work and band and just general stuff. I couldn’t get comfortable and as I was moving around I heard a “tink tink” noise outside and figured that Eric (our neighbor) was just getting home and was dinking around in his car. We laid there talking for about 10 minutes then started drifting off to sleep.

All of a sudden a horn was honking. Honk. Honk. Honk.

Me: “Is that SERIOUSLY your car alarm?” “Fuck!” As I look on the window, seeing nothing but his car with the lights flashing.

“Go turn it off fershitsake, we’re gonna have the whole neighborhood pissed off at us!!!”

Claude: “Hell no, I’m calling the cops!”

So he called the cops, we made our way downstairs, got our shoes on and went outside to investigate. That “tink tink” was someone busting his rear window on the drivers side. The entire window was shattered. There was glass inside and outside. They were after the woofer and most likely the amp too. Thankfully the woofer was too big to fit through the window so when they tried to open the door the alarm activated.

So now, I get to find someone to do an estimate and figure out whether or not it’s worth it to pay a $500 deductible to get the bitch fixed! I’m sure it will cost more than that….everything is so damn expensive these days.

I’m sure that the car or two that drove by after Claude moved the car and saw me sweeping the driveway at 1a.m. by the light of the headlights of my van…..thought I was bat shit crazy.

Little do they know, I am!
