My Ghetto, Part Deux

So, yesterday I am parking my car inside my pointlessly gated community.  I pull up behind my roommate's second car--a 1998 Corolla, with the gold trim package.  It was fairly pimp in it's day, but is no longer much to look at.  Well, as I get out of my car I see that the driver's side window had been smashed.  Walking up closer I see the dash ripped out and a $89 stereo missing.  Making things strange, is that the Corolla was probably the least awesome car in the line-up (no offense, Mario).

When I think about it, I've had seven stereos stolen, so maybe I've been living in little ghettos all along.  I am somewhat desensitized to the scene.  That said, the scene of the crime is a mere forty yards away from the stranded shopping cart.  To clarify, this happened on the good side of the complex.  

This is another little check in the reason's to leave column, as I think the grass really is greener concerning my future plans.  

Oh!  One more thing on the insult to injury factor.  By that afternoon there was a notification on the windshield from Patrol One, the lamest mother f*%@ing company in the world, saying that they're going to tow the car because it obviously has not been moved recently.  

This is where I live.

If it’s any consolation, my sister’s stereo was stolen a few months ago from our parking lot as well and lately 2 homeless guys have been hanging out at the bus stop which faces my bedroom window which also sits directly in front of a liquor store!

Listen, Im no stranger to living in hoods either. I've had my share of care stareos stolen, funny thing is my stereos were worth more than my car, which made me realize I was driving a piece of #$% car. Sad huh. One more thing, you know your living in the hood when every family on that block have a sofa in their front lawn, a jumper and a barbeque. Yeah, the hood.
