Where the Sidewalk Ends

Remember that accident I got into back in May? Well when I picked up my car from the autobody shop, I noticed that someone stole all the quarters from my ashtray. This of course, posed an inconvenience for me when I needed to feed the meters, but within weeks, I refilled my ashtray and was merrily on my way. When I had to return my car to the same shop because they did a sloppy job, I remembered to take the quarters out of my ashtray. Instead, I put them in a Sanrio box that I keep in the center console of my car. When I picked up my car an hour and a half later, the quarters were missing! This really struck a nerve because it was evident that someone was rifling through my stuff. Thieves!

Why didnt you just remove all the quarters and personal effects from your car? One time when I went to get my car maintenanced, some mexican mechanic stole my $300 oakley sunglasses.

You should sue their ass for the tort of larceny! I would have purposely left quarters EVERYWHERE, taken some pictures, had a buddy as witness... =P
