Burgle updates…

Posted in Life at 5:54 pm by Rob Schultz

So today I cleaned out the car, tried to look for anything else that might be amiss.

I think, unless I’m just really disorganized or misplaced it while moving (totally possible), the burglar may have taken my camera tripod as well. I got it from Best Buy in Connecticut, so it wasn’t too fancy, but it was still pretty good. I think it was in the back seat behind the driver seat, under the extension cord that wasn’t taken.

In the front was where the bonus trash was left.

So I cleaned out the wrappers and a bunch of trash that was genuinely mine (and not stolen!), including napkins, receipts, and 35 parking stubs. One item stood out.

Later:


I don’t know how you make this mistake. There’s the speculation (by ME!) that the burglar was spooked and left in a hurry, hence not taking / finding the paper money, and leaving the trash…..

The back has been sanded or something – it makes for a nice ‘brushed metal’ look that I would actually prefer to a bunch of smudgy fingerprints (MY ipod is backed with gaff tape). It also makes good on removing the serial number.

It didn’t turn on. I thought perhaps it was also trash then. But, the burglar did unplug my ipod charger and leave it behind….

It works! We’ll see if it holds a charge – it’s completely empty, and based on the language select, probably JUST had a factory reset done. It’s obviously stolen. Is it mine now? Karmic compensation? Where do you even take a stray ipod? I thought there was a to-do a while ago about how apple doesn’t care because they want you to buy more, and like I say, the serial’s gone…hm.

Also, I just found out that the movie really is called “Step Up 2: The Streets,” which is how I’d been referring to it ironically, as though it were really called “Step Up 2 The Streetz!” But my deliberate misunderstanding was founded in genuine misunderstanding, so I got it right. You win some you lose some, right there.

    Dear,

    I’m a korean living in seoul.(name: Oh Minseok)
    Korean special investigative team are investigating sung
    corporation.
    But they do not work right.
    Suspicious to be bought off.
    sung corporation has many crimes.
    And the team investigates sung corporation.

    (Three company CEOs did(and are doing) many crimes to me.
    Many koreans are knowing it.
    But many koreans are bought off by illegal issuing stocks or bonds.)
    The team are knowing it.
    Korean special investigative team must investigate this.
    But they are trying to conceal it.
    I ask for asking for this criminal investigation to prosecutors in any
    country.
    And help the shareholders and me.

    P.S)
    Three companies are hacking me and trying to kill me.
    And are suspicious to use my name and email illegally.
    If you receive another message that I dictated above are not true,
    it is not from me, but from three companies.
    The things I dictated above are true.
