Cell Phone Angst

[nirvelli_lynn]

My cell phone was stolen out of my car this morning. Actually, we think it was arround midnight last night as Erica recalls hearing car doors slamming. It was odd because Erica always locks her car, but didn't. All that was taken was my cell and charger. Sucky thing will be programming the phone again... and getting numbers from people not in my outlook. Damn! We saw footprints leaving the car and since they were about size 11, I'm thinking it was a guy. The things I noticed when I got into my car were the open glovebox, open bag on the seat, and, of course, the missing cell phone. Actually, it was the missing charger that gave it away. Plus, Erica's glove box was open. Ironically, had he merely went through all the crap on her car floor, he would have found another cell phone and several chargers...

Erica felt very violated by the whole thing... I'm not sure how I feel. I know I'll start locking things more, but I guess I just see us as random victims. It's not personal, so I'm not taking as such. Is it weird that I see this as only a minor inconvenice? Yet here I am, the one with all the trust in the world, and yet, I don't feel violated. I guess I see personal violations, like when you've established trust in a relationship, more violated when trust is breached... But yet this doesn't phase me. Maybe I'm just wierd.

This has been an odd year so far...to say the least.
