I understand why someone would break my car window and steal my wallet and cell phone.  I was not, am not, bothered by that at all.  I understand the fact there are criminals in the world and I understand why someone would want my wallet full of money and credit cards.  And I understand why they might want to take my phone, crappy as it was.  What I don't get is why they would take my favorite sweater that happened to be in the backseat.   I was totally calm and pragmatic and accepting about being a victim of theft until I realized they stole my sweater too.  Why?  Why would they take my favorite hoodie that I've had for 8 years?  I loved that thing.  I've seen and done so much in that sweater.  Its kept me warm through countless Hawaii winter days.  Why?!  Why did they have to take my one and only sweater?!?!?! Eight  years I've had that sweater.

update: oh my god, they took my lucky red hat too...

Pet Peeve #73: People who hold their forks and spoons like a shovel and stuff food into their mouths.  It's so uncouth. 

Pet Peeve #1:  People who don't answer their door when I knock or ring the doorbell.  

Irony #5:  Unfriendly people with really nice entrance ways.  Why bother making the front of your home look warm and inviting when you're a son of a bitch?
