until last month that usually just meant a big raccoon or something
but last month someone broke into my friend's car [unlocked] in my driveway and took his wallet and calculator.
then a week later we get a call from crimestoppers saying there have been a large number of cars being broken into in our area.
we used to leave our house unlocked all the time, back and side door. our cars are still unlocked [never left valuables in them in the first place].
but i'm just one of those people... i don't do well with this stuff. i could see myself dying from refusing to give my wallet to a pack of punk kids or something. or fighting back against a gang.
growing up in safe neighborhoods, i'm not used to this at all and i've never been more angry in my life than when i was assaulted in australia, mine was verbal and a shove, and then my roommate made fun of them and ended up taking the physical assault. from a couple australian asshole kids probably 17-18, who were pretending to be a gang or something.
that was the only time in my life i've been angry enough that my temp rose pretty high. high enough that i felt feverish and my forehead was burning. felt like it took forever before i could sweat it out. i had the most evil thoughts, it was pretty bad. i don't even know what i would've done to them if i had known there whereabouts. it happened in an instant, and they ran off. and there was a police car right there, and the cop didn't even stop them.
we don't even own guns anymore, so i fear for those kids because it will be me and my brother and my baseball bat. i'm sure its kids since this lady/neighbor [who found my friend's driver's license in a creek behind her house] said that they kept stealing freon from her a/c unit outside her house.
i've had a few bucks stolen from me before, but once its on my property, and near my house/family, its over for them. i don't play around in this instance
