Today I feel very annoyed. Yesterday the worst of John and my problems was paying £4 to park in Leicester city centre. Today we had a whole new bunch of problems... Remember how the houses either side of Ali's house have been burgled? John's car was parked outside, and it was broken into last night. They took his £200 Sony car CD player (ripped out the head unit), his £120 Caliber Rally Amp (which was wired in under the passenger seat), his £70 sub (in the boot) and all the CD's as well. I think they might have left my Jeff Buckley CD. The case is there, anyway. Odd if they have. I wonder what it says about car thieves?

We haven't touched anything because the police are going to come and take fingerprints. There are wires sticking out all over the place. They even tried to unscrew the speakers in the parcel shelf, but they left the job half finished and took off. They left a fascia from another car, too. Must have dropped it.

When I think about how long it's taken John to set everything up, let alone be able to afford it all, it makes me very angry. But once again, it's not the fact that they took the stuff as much as that they were able to. It's a kind of violation. If you know what I mean.

Hopefully he'll be able to get the money back with the insurance. And then he might get a car from his work and sell the Vauxhall. Obviously it's not very hard to break into. It was definitely locked, because he always checks the doors, and there was no sign of forced entry. They must have picked the locks somehow. The best thing about that car was the way he'd set all that sound stuff up. It sounded fantastic. And now it's gone.

Happy Christmas, eh?
