Some scum has broken into our car. They've used a garden fork to first try and pry the passenger seat door open, and when that didn't work smashed the driver's window. The car is wrecked, door distorted out of its frame, glass everywhere, the contents strewn around inside. I'm so angry right now, so god damn angry. James is with the police because the fork had been left behind, and there's finger prints everywhere, but what kind of person thinks it's okay to do that?

Updating on the car thing. The police came out, but despite the many fingerprints said they couldn't use them because the car had been in the open all night. Same for the garden fork, which basically means they're doing nothing. While I realise this is minor crime in comparison to many, I'm boggling that the evidence is there, and they can't do a thing with it.

Thankfully we don't leave valuable items in the car, so the only things taken were stupid things. Like the torch was keep in case of break downs, stuff like that. Probably a few CDs ruined, because they just tossed everything everywhere.

The insurance have been called, but because it's a mobility car they said they can't do a thing until tomorrow afternoon. Also, the local newspaper have been out, how they found out I don't know, but James has had his picture taken and been interviewed.

Still, it could have been so much worse. The central locks did their job ( from the looks of things they used the fork on the passenger side door, and when they couldn't leaver that open, smashed the window and climbed in that way. ) and at least the car wasn't taken. Whether that's because it was opportunist thieves who thought the sat nav system was in there or because they were baffled because the car is adapted for James to drive, I don't know. Which ever one it was, at least they didn't take it. Plus, James being off work means we don't have to worry about transport at the moment. So yes, that's a silver lining.

Thanks for all the comments and being angry for us. The threats of retribution and name calling helped a lot. :)

I haven't posted three times in a day for a long time but I want to point you toward this post. See, randomling offered ficlets, and I asked for one based on trickc and hot chocolate. She wrote me Euro era trickc braces fic. Let me repeat that Euro era trickc braces fic. Anyone that knows me will know how much glee I had when I read the story. I had the full squeeing hand across mouth squeaking glee. So go, read.

Earlier I rubbed my hand across my forehead and realised it was sore. Which is when I remembered I'd walloped my head against the metal headboard of my bed this morning. Now I can't stop poking at the sore spot. Ouch. *is pathetic*

Meme now. The 10 Things I Assume You Know About Me meme which is in ( here )

Talking of writing, I've so caught the writing bandom bug, but the fandom is huge and there's so many stories and just. Wow. How can anyone even think of doing something new? I know so many people in popslash, and it's cosy and familiar and bandom feels like I'm stepping into a huge new world, clutching the hands of some people I know with a I love Mikey badge pinned to my chest.

Finally, tomorrow I'm announcing the new round over at pop_appreciate. I think it's the right time, a little fun in the post holiday slump is always welcome. So if you're interested, go check out the comm :)
