Today, I realized I don't have very much stuff.
I was reading a police report about a burglary. Among other things, three TVs were taken from one house. At first, I thought, "Oh my gosh, who has three TVs?" Then I answered myself, "Uh, lots of people. People you know."
Reading reports of burglary sometimes gives me a major case of avarice. Some people have a Wii and the latest Play station and Nintendo. Well, had. I have a few components of a Sega Genesis. I'm not sure if it works. And $1,000 in movies really? I have... a couple of DVDs I bought on sale.
Sometimes, I just don't understand the things people steal. Chainsaws? A Mickey Mouse backpack? Clothes? -- I mean what are the odds they'll fit? Or they're clean?
So potential burglars, note -- there's nothing worth taking in my house. Unless your need for unmatched socks or cupcake pans is unquenchable.

haha I am guessing they took the backpack to put their loot in.

April 4, 2008 at 12:24 a.m.When I began life here as a transplanted Houstonian, I owned books. That's it. I was a recent graduate with no professional work experience holed up in a house that had been divided into three living quarters. Well, guess what? I got a phone call from the landlady while I was visiting my mother in Houston that someone had broken into my space. The refrigerator was left open, the phone was off the hook. Nothing else was touched. Evidently, there's no market for college textbooks among hoodies, homies, or whoever traffics in stolen goods.
