I was a victim of crime on Tuesday night as some dirty little thief broke into my Honda and stole my stereo. The perpetrator also hit my roomate's car and took his stereo too! Our doors must have been jimmied open caus both the windows were fine (which was nice) but then the center console was just all ripped out with wires and crap hanging out. I felt bad for my Honda.. like I was looking at it's guts or something. After the initial shock wore off I thought I had made it through in pretty good shape and was actually feeling pretty good that the dirty rotten thief didn't pop my trunk and take my golf clubs too! Unfortunately later on in the day as I was getting ready to listen to some music I had a sinking feeling as I realized I didn't have my MP3 player, and yep... I had left it in the glove compartment. I think that was the first and only night my MP3 player was ever in the car. I remember stopping on the way home from work and putting it in the glove compartment so that no one would see it in the car and try to take it. How ironic that putting it in the glove box caused me to leave it in the car that night so that someone could actually steal it! The no good lousy criminal actually left the screwdriver he used to rip out my stereo in the car. I can almost see him now as he opens the glove compartment and is so stoked to see my Odyssey 1000 that he drops the screwdriver and runs off to buy some crack. I mentioned the screwdriver to the police in my report, but as I expected they were not interested in doing any CSI investigating. At least I got a screwdriver out of the deal. Unless you want to trade your car stereo for a screwdriver I suggest not being a lazy sack like myself and actually taking your faceplate off when you're not driving around.
Now I just saw this video of a crow, and thought to myself that crow looks like he could be trying to pick a lock. I'm not saying a crow stole my stereo, but what if a crow did learn how to break into a car? I mean as a crow you pretty much have to wait around for some small animal to get run over by a car before you can move in for dinner. If you could actually get your crow buddies to help you steal a car then you could drive around and run over the animals yourself. That's the only reason I could see for a crow to want to get into a car caus I don't think they would be too interested in human music or anything. Unless maybe you were a really lazy crow and just didn't like to fly around. Then you might want to have a car to drive places because even though you might have to travel a longer distance ( longer than "as the crow flies") at least you wouldn't have to be flapping your wings the whole time. I mean there would be times as a crow when you could be flying along and just hold your wings out to glide, but I bet that even that gets pretty tiring.
