I knew it was going to happen eventually but I thought maybe I’d get lucky and avoid it- someone messing with my ride.

I’m a little sensitive about my car. You see it’s the first new car I’ve had (my last car was given to me by my grandma); and it’s less than a year old. No, it’s nothing fancy but it’s mine, mine, and mine.

Car alarms go off all the time and I usually end up running to the window to check on my baby. This can get annoying; especially when it’s 3AM and five have gone off. Lucky for me I accidentally set off my alarm the other day and I realized that my alarm doesn’t sound like the alarms that usually go off. That means I don’t have to jump up at every hint of a chirp.

So I was laying in the bed surfing the net when I hear a bunch of kids outside. Don’t they have school? Is what I was thinking and I hoped they’d quiet down soon. No sooner than I had them tuned out I hear - chirp, chirp, beepbeepbeepbeep and a kid goes “Oh crap!” I thought the same thing as I jumped up and saw my lights flashing and heard the car going off.

I said some dirty words and ran outside. The kids were already down the street.

When I got back in my head was killing me.

Manassas Virginia is sounding real good right about now.
