In some sort of hyperspeed crime spree, someone stole my iPod from my car. I’m not sure if I left the passenger door ajar or they did something like the five-second airpump/rod deal that the road-side assistance fellows use. Strangely the iPod is all they took, in addition to rifling through the trash box in the driver-side door, where I’m sure they found a trove of chewed gum and dog-bone wrappers. Considering it was one of the original iPod Minis (that we got for free), it sure is no big loss. If they had taken my CDs from the car I might actually be pissed off. This thief now has the entire Orbital catalog on mp3, some Depeche Mode, Justice, BT, and other obsequious electronica, plus the whole demo of the new Bounte album, and that probably has more value than the iPod.

Luckily I have an early iPod Shuffle lying around as a backup:
