I generally lock my doors on my car—it’s pretty much habit. And I’m not quite sure if somehow the “unlock” button was pressed in my pocket upon leaving the car or if I just completely spaced it (which is unlikely), but somehow someone got into the car that I had been renting for the weekend of busy photography [mostly for the wedding that I had scheduled on Friday]. Back to the car.

I was asked to shoot some spokesperson finals competition at Visage and parked up in the ramp nearby. I left a few photography accessories behind and a few stands and my iPod tucked away in some pocket of the car. I returned to my car a few hours later to find the door ajar, the glove compartment opened, my bags rummaged through, and my 60GB iPod stolen. Fortunately they weren’t interested in any of my photography stuff—but they ran off with my iPod, dammit!

Words can’t convey how pissed off and violated I feel. Yes, I’m grateful they didn’t take anything else, but somehow that just isn’t all that consoling. Looks like I’ll have to bring my portable drive to work and plug it into my computer to listen to all my music.

DAG, that just pisses me off to no end. Undoubtedly I have to wait before I’ll be able to get a replacement—my wife comes first and she’s long overdue for a new iPod.
