Went out drinking with King Mongo on Friday night. When I got back to my car, my headlights had been left on and my battery was dead. So I walked home.
Next morning, friend in tow to jump my car, I found that the tiny window between the rear-passenger and the rear-end windows was smashed. Nothing taken because there was nothing there. But it cost me $300 to fix the fucker!
So -- I wonder if the people were unable to steal the car because I left the lights on, or if they left the lights on and fucked with me because I had nothing they wanted?
FUCK!
I'm sure glad I don't have a car. They destroy the environment and are generally unsafe. I'm holding out for the next generation of automobiles incoroprating fuel-cell technology instead.
Oh yeah, too bad about the broken window BTW.

Swedish Translation:
Paragraph 1
I picked up my 3rd DUI and now I prefer commuting through Stockholm on my little sister's banana seat bicycle instead of going to prison.
Paragraph 2
I didn't realize you had the top down on the convertible. That's why I broke the back window. Sorry about killing the battery. American cars confuse me.
Hey! Where'd you learn to speak my language?!
Most people who can't afford to own a car justify it by some moral high ground wackiness.
I don't drive my VW because I won't support the use of alien technology while aliens are being held in Area 51 without trial. The fact that it has an electrical short that sucks the battery dry every day that I can't afford to fix has nothing to do with it.

Observations:
1) You are going to have to sell heap big heroclix to pay for window.
2) You truly are an elitist. A true common man would have taped a flap of semi-opaque plastic over the aperture.
3) Your "friends" on the forum could use a refresher course in sympathy.
4) I hope you catch the rat who did this, and kill him, unless, in the course of your investigation, you discover that it was you in a fugue state. If you find yourself standing in front of a freight elevator, do not get in!
Hey, I offered up my sympathy! I said I thought it was too bad about the broken window, remember? I'm new at this whole "being nice to people thing" and it's fucking hard, so give me a break, OK?
And I still think cars destroy the environment, no matter what you lot say. I think about it constantly, riding my sisters little bike around.
PS: Ahab, I mailed you a better, non-compressed version of the Dec pic. Did you recieve it?
I agree with the elitist part. You should see what I did when the window would no longer roll up on my VW. I should eventually replace the screwdrivers and shoelaces with a new window winch and door panel.
And sympathy? Get some cellophane!
The best part of it all--I mean the worst part--is that Brent's mishap caused him to miss disc golf, a party, and ArnoCorps! I would have gone with the cellophane.
Although I still laugh at what must have been the thieves' frustration: "There must be something of value in here! Arghh!"
Maybe the person who broke the window did so to turn Brent's lights off. Although too late. Perhaps they were just trying to help.

In that case they could have just smashed the headlights. Then all Brent would have had to do was duct tape two $10 flashlights to the sides of his front grille. He would have saved $280.
Vandals simply don't understand economics.
I thought out a very well phrased and intelligent reply to this topic, but then I had a chance encounter with the web page lost in translation (http://home.cwru.edu/cgi-bin/multibabel) and all was for nothing. The dialectizer can just suck it! See if you can make sense of the result!

You just wait! I'm gonna sell them all! So bid like the fast and the furious!

My roommate who stomps around at all hours and knows *everything* had his window smashed in a couple months ago and still hasn't even patched it. Maybe it's the California weather, but it looks like somewhere in the deepest part of Louisiana (not that I've ever been there) and I did not want to be "that guy" as well.
I guess I am elitist.
3) Your "friends" on the forum could use a refresher course in sympathy.
Friends?
Sympathy's for suckers.

There is no goat to kill.

those stupid little windows cost more than the main ones. uggh. you should go find some swede's volvo or saab and smash his/her window. an eye for an eye baby!!
What's an "eye baby"? Some sort of newborn consisting almost entirely of ocular matter? Or did you forget the comma?

Silly foreigner. Eye, Eye Baby was a hit song in the early nineties in the United States of America. It was performed by the famous rap artist Vanilla Eye (http://www.cosmeticmall.com/content/FacesEvening.asp).
An eye for an eye baby. If the prices go up they're gonna cost you an arm and a leg. Buy fast!

The porn version, Vanilla Pie, was pretty sweet
No, that eye movie and I don't see eye to eye. They got to much cum on the lens, for one thing.
Get it?
Eyes. Lens.
See? It's funny!

The Eyes Lens of the Lambs was a scary movie.
That was funnier!
It takes the lotion and rubs it on it's iris.
