instant karma

[threeplusfire]

I suppose this is my own damn fault for something I did.

Someone smashed out my passenger side window. Took my car stereo and every cd I owned, including cds belonging to a couple friends. CDs that were made me for me and cds I bought overseas that I probably won't ever be able to replace. All gone.

I'm waiting for the police to show up, and then I suppose I'll talk to my insurance company. I can't even remmber right now if I have coverage for this sort of stuff. I don't think I do. It occurs to me that I haven't any idea how much it will cost to replace that window.

*hug* I'm sorry. That's so horrible!

It's really extraordinarily lame to steal someone's cds and hurt their car. I mean, just, ugh.

Oh Amanda, that sucks!! I am so sorry.

Hopefully something surprising will happen and your insurance will cover it, or they'll catch the guy trying to sell the stuff. Maybe you should contact Waterloo/Cheapo/other stores and put them on the look out for certain CDs that are rare and hard to find? Do they even do things like that? It could be worth a shot.

I think they will quickly find that no one in Austin wants Czech classic rock cds, except for me. :P

Oi. Am so not happy.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Now where are those sky police when you need them? That is sucktacular.

I'm not at all sure what it is you think you did that precipitated the theft. Own a car? A CD player in said car? What?

As long as there are things to own, there will be those who figure what's theirs is theirs, and what belongs to everyone else is also theirs. It's not your fault, although it is a damn shame your property was stolen. I can empathize.

Cheers...

Well, I really shouldn't have left my cds in the car. That was foolish. But that comment was actually because Alan and I had a discussion about karma last night, and how his tends to come right back at him pretty quick.

Oi. I am bereft of all my foreign cds. What a shame. I had an entire Easter weekend service in old Church Slavonic in there. Not that I could really understand much of it, but it was good to listen to sometimes. Those thieves will be sorely disappointed in the market value of my music collection. ;)

I feel your pain...

I have been down that path, plus it was 3 am, and it was outside a bar I had gone to with some friends. The feeling of violation was difficult to shake. It it's any help, it was my passenger window but the small triangular one, not the main window. And that cost $250 for me to fix :((.

In moments like these, be strong and remember these words: What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger...

Re: I feel your pain...

Ouch. Yes, I've learned today the smaller windows cost much more to fix. Thank heavens I don't have one of those.

I so sorry, Amanda. It's not your fault that crackheads are crackheads. I had a radio stolen from my car once, right outside my house, but I was lucky in that my insurance covered almost everything.

Stuff like that is why original CDs rarely leave my house any more. If I want to take it with me, I burn a copy and take that. A little extreme, I guess, but at least my out-of-print Showgirls soundtrack is safe.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea, and probably one I shall employ in the future.

You have the Showgirls soundtrack? *boggles* ;)

[lawnrrd]

IMHO, the soundtrack was as good as the movie was bad. Music by Bowie, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Siouxsie and the Banshees (performing the best song that T. Rex never wrote), and No Doubt.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Wow. That really sounds fantastic.

[dragonflychey.livejournal.com]

Aw, I am so sorry that happened to you. Maybe with the power of your internet friends you could post a list of what you lost, maybe people out there have it and they could burn some of it for you? I dunno, just a thought.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

That's a thought. I'm trying to figure out what all was lost, and I'll make a post of it.

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

Aargh. When these infidels are brought to justice, the turkey buzzards will feast.w

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Damn straight.

[shakespearessis.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

If you have any cds that I own, I'd be happy to copy mine and mail them to you.

Wah! Stupid thieves!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you so much. That is a very kind offer.

[lyeta.livejournal.com]

oh, darling. that's just the worst feeling. I didn't lose much when it happened to me, but the feeling of it stayed a while. good luck, love.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this creepy feeling of invasion has got me very down tonight. Why would they take my Russian music? Who here cares about it but me?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Oh honey, I am so fucking sorry. The foreign CD we will find -- wonder of the Internet and all.

Call or nudge electronically if you need anything.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Just so frustrating. I want to go home and hide from everything, but there is too much to do.

[melyndabelinda.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, that's AWFUL! Which of my CDs do I need to copy for you?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I lost all my counting crows, all my tori amos... anything and everything you have, pretty much. Thanks darling.
