They really need to update the signage in this city. Instead of the current “Welcome to Historic Pawtucket” signs they’ve got, there should be a giant sign off of exit 27 on I-95 North that says “Welcome to Pawtucket - where the theives are complete idiots”. Seriously.

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that Eddie and I don’t keep the car as clean as it could be. There’s two boxes of yarn in the back seat, as well as my lab coats and pharmacy books. There’s assorted bags from stores, mostly filled with scraps of packaging that hasn’t made it into the trash bin yet. There’s also a few hundred dollars worth of CDs and things in there as well, which are in the center console as usual.

So this morning we get into the car, and I notice that there’s more crap in the front seat than normal, but I don’t give it much thought because I figure that maybe it’s just my yarn bag shifted at some point during the night. That is until Eddie said, “Well, someone was in here last night,” and pointed out that the center console was open and my CD case was missing. At that point I’m mourning the loss of not only my own CDs but several of Eddie’s that I’d put in the case to listen to when I was working for Cingular, until Eddie starts rummaging through the back seat and notices that whoever got in looked through the trunk as well by pulling the back seats forward. He moves a winter coat and viola, my CDs are found.

Whoever got in took absolutely nothing. All the CDs seem to have been untouched - everything loose in the console, the CD case, and the visor CD holder - as well as all my books, the tools and jackets in the trunk, and the chairs and $10 radio we use at the drive-in. While it might not be a helluva lot, it certainly would have fetched a decent amount of money at a yard sale or something, enough to buy some booze at the liquer store on the corner anyway. I guess they just didn’t like my taste in music.
