    Craigslist posting thanks car thief...




    To the person who broke into my car last night

    <hr> Date: 2007-12-02, 4:34AM EST


    You broke into my gray Hyundai Elantra parked on the corner of Wythe and 4th St. As I was parking it, I noticed broken glass on the sidewalk and thought "the lightning never strikes the same spot twice." Well, I was wrong.

    I wanted to express how much I appreciate your effort to minimize my inconvenience. I understand that you probably come from a disadvantaged background, you may have an addiction or two, or maybe your mother is sick in the hospital. I quite understand your need to break into my car.

    You only broke the rear passenger small window, so even in the cold weather there are no drifts reaching the front seats. I know it was hard to open the car through that small window, so I appreciate the effort.

    You took my GPS system. I actually didn't like it because it doesn't allow me to update the maps and they are quite outdated by now. Thank you for giving me a reason to get a much better one.

    You tool my work blackberry. They are actually upgrading us to the new Pearl model. I was due to get one in February. But thanks to you, I will get a new one on Monday. Thank you!

    I do miss those $5 in spare change, but it's a small price to pay. Hope it goes a long way towards buying your next fix.

    And thank you for not taking my garage key, EZ pass car, or NY map. I wouldn't be able to get home without them. I wish all car burglars were as decent as you are. You should start a car burglary etiquette classes.

    Your biggest fan!
    Eternal Salvation or triple your money back!

    lol... I have heard also stories involving someone selling a Porshe, only to have the potential buyers getting mugged when they arrive (one happened here on LI).

      Ha! I love sarcasm.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

          Hilarious is a slight exaggeration, but they are humorous.

              Yes.

              How many actual chuckles did it get out of you?

              One, two? Maybe three?

              And were you drinking anything during said chuckles? If so, did that drink squirt out of your nose? Ears? Eyes?

              This is all very important. We need to know how "hilarious" these posts were for you.

                And my point was I feel the word hilarious was too strong.

                  Oh ok ill break it down by paragraph....

                  P1- Still optimistic as this point. being that the past excerpts from craiglist have been comical, I decide to give this blog a shot.
                  P2- a slight smile due to the sarcastic nature of the paragraph
                  P3- more blunt sarcasm, another smile
                  P4- a mild chuckle ensues
                  P5- a full fledged chuckle
                  P6- back to a smile
                  P7- I decide this passage is enjoyable enough to comment on, and elect to post my approval

                  all in all, while this excerpt was pretty funny, the priors overshadow it.
