My car was broken in to last night

Wow, this is a bummer! I'm just glad they didn't take anything else, especially your check book. It's a darn shame people have to resort to theft these days. I just wish folks would start treating others (and their property) they way they want to be treated.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you Morgan.

I seriously considered trading my vehicle in just so I can get an ipod hook up

yep, that's how I feel. A cd player isn't something that is hard to replace or that expensive. I think it was $160. I'm bumed, but I'm not devistated.

I had my purse stolen in 8th grade at church. I haven't gotten over that one. I'm such a cautious person. I have a huge padlock on my computer at work & one on my monitor. I know this is just going to make me that much more cautious. I'll go back to removing the faceplate everyday & bringing it inside.

A guy in the lab next to me had his laptop stolen thursday. That would really upset me. All that information & how hard it is to replace. So I sent out an email warning everyone to backup their harddrives on thrusday. I planned to do a big backup on friday & my computer wouldn't start that morning. How crazy is that?

Luckily mike recovered my hard drive so i didn't lose anything. I had to buy a new hard drive. So I've been having some bad luck. But, I can tell I am so happy with my life because it really isn't getting to me. How can I be upset when so many other things in my life are so perfect?

You can just swap out the stereo for one with an ipod hook up. What I was doing (prior to today) was using an itrip. I had my radio preset to a station that my itrip transmitted a signal to. So I'd plug in the itrip & it would play my ipod over that station. It works better if the ipod is also plugged into the outlet getting power. An itrip is about $30.

But, soon I'll have a stereo with an ipod input. That's the bright side of this.

I also have a clock radio I got at target for $20 that has an ipod input. It's really nice too. I play my ipod over the bathroom radio when i take a bath. I love listening to my podcasts. I'm addicted to "this amereican life."

OK, seriously? Your purse was stolen at church? Nothing is safe anywhere! I think there's a special place in hell for people that would steal something at church!

I love your attitude- that's kinda how I am about things... a car stereo is pretty small in the grand scheme of things. But still quite upsetting. Now, if my laptop got stolen I might have a major meltdown...I'm glad Mike recovered your hard drive- holycrapolascary!

Well said! That is exactly how I felt when my car got broken into last month,my window got busted, and my new digital camera was stolen! I was thankful enough they didnt rob me while I was still in the car, as it seems it happened an hour or so after I got home at 3 in the morning! Jerks!

Ahh, Morgan. I'm so sorry to hear this. This kinda stuff makes me so mad. My car got egged bad last weekend and it messed up my paint. Don't people have any regard for others any more!!!
