A letter to a thief

Dthiefear person that broke into my car outside my house last night

I have a few things to say to you so I’ll take the liberty of assuming that you have come off what I can only assume was some drug addled rampage that would cause you to break into my car outside my home and well, make a huge mess.

Here’s the thing you don’t know about me. As clean as my house is my car is the opposite. It’s a source of constant amusement to my husband that I am so meticulous in the house but the car is such a mess. So the only real reason I know that you were in there was because I had it cleaned last week. When I got into it this morning it didn’t look that different from normal so you weren’t THAT scary.

I wanted to also thank you for not bothering to look in the back seat because if you had thrown my son’s homework around like you did everything else I would have blamed him, and you know that’s not on. Actually you probably don’t know that, but still.

I’m a bit angry with you for scaring my son into thinking that we live in a high crime area (we are people of extreme and it sounds cooler to say high crime area than “suburbia with one car invasion”). But I put aside that anger when I was driving him to school this morning to explain the horror of drugs.

Judging by the fact that you only stole my emergency money * I am going to assume that you were looking for drug money. I understand. Being a drug addict is hard. I am quite sure it’s not a decision you made. Does anyone do drugs the first time or indeed any time thinking they’re looking forward to becoming a drug addict? (that was rhetorical so don’t answer)

Maybe the first time you took them was for fun, maybe it was for escape, maybe it started as fun and then became all about the escape. I am sure you never imagined yourself breaking into cars on suburban roads looking for money to get your fix.

We talked about you, me and my son, and by the time we got to school we were already feeling a little sorry for you. We hoped that you were safe and not living on the streets, we hoped that you find some comfort in something that is not drugs soon. Even though we don’t know you, we are very soft-hearted people.

I am also quite grateful to you for unearthing that long lost lipstick and the small make up purse I had been searching for , I almost feel like I owe you something for locating my favourite tweezers although you didn’t have to put them on my seat like that. I sat on them.

I’m sorry you felt the need to get into my car while I slept mere metres away. I am sorry your life has turned out this way. I hope that it changes for you.

If you just broke into my car for the fun of it – you are an arsehole and I hope karma (and the law) catches up with you.

Love the owner of the black car with stuff strewn all over it.

  1. You are being a better person about this than I could ever be, Lana!

  2. This post shows what a beautiful mama you are.
    Many would have shown anger in this situation but instead you chose to teach your little man a very important life lesson….compassion.You should feel very proud lovely lady.
    Sorry you had to go through that experience.By sharing it you are also teaching others a life lesson.
    Thank you.x

  3. Sorry this happened to you Lana, but great attitude. Ultimately, pity is the only approach really. I have nothing constructive or pleasant to say about your interloper except that it was nice of him/her to find that makeup bag for you.

  4. Having been victim of the same thing 20 years ago in a quiet suburban area I feel your angst. I had to laugh about the tweezers! Love the life lesson talk with little pencil. I hope you & Mr Pencil haven’t had to chase around town to find a replacement window like I did!

  5. I once had my car stolen from out the front of our house. There was money a small amount of money in the ashtray and not much else of value. The police found the car a week later, with more money as well as a set of headphones and other stuff in the back seat. I came out ahead from that robbery!

  6. My car got it last week, for the 5th or 6th time in 9 years. I had a few sat navs stolen along the way. Then bought a car with it built in. Most of the time, bar one time, my car been left unlocked and its an opportunistic turd. Why is my car unlocked? By the time my kids have stopped looking at their electronic devices, I’m already inside the house cooking dinner, put on a load of laundry and fed the dog. They eventually realise the car has stopped and get out. My clicker just doesn’t work from the kitchen! I never leave anything in there anymore. I still find it aggressive, offensive and an invasion of my privacy. Do I feel for them? Not really, if I’m honest. x

    • We started playing a game – last one out the car unpacks the dishwasher. Now the only thing I have to make sure of is that he doesn’t get out of the car while I am still driving .

      It is a huge invasion of your privacy but you know I’m a ridiculous softy!

  7. It’s wonderful that you are getting ideas from this article as well as from our argument made at this time.
