The apartments I live in is pretty much broken up into two sections. There’s “front street” which is relatively well lit and people are usually coming and going. The chance of something happening to you or your car there is litte.
Then you have “death valley” which is about 50 feet away from “front street” but a whole different world. That’s where all the smoking, drinking, dealing, whoring and such goes on. Very dark parking lot and anyone there late at night is pretty much up to no good.
Recently the management said we’re only allowed to park one car on “front street”; why? I don’t know. So rather than park my darling Chevy in “death valley” I had planned to move her to my friends crib Saturday. Unfortunately that day ended up being a real busy one for me so I took my chances with “death valley” for a night. Right on cue the above happened.
Some guys broke in and tried to get my dvd player. I wasn’t even upset. I actually applaud their courtesy. Not only did they not steal my basketball and cds but they also didn’t do too much damage (aside from the window).
If you know me, basketball and music is my life. So leaving my ball and cd’s untouched is something I’ll always be grateful for.
3 summers ago this same car was assaulted in Baltimore while me and my friends were slanging fake Bape hoodies in the flea market. They took my DVD player and in the process damaged my entire dashboard and ignition. Now that one HURT!!!!. This one right here, lightwork.
They didn’t even try to take the car itself, all they wanted was the Kenwood so clearly it was just somebody trynna come up on a little spare change. Can’t knock the hustle.
*Sidenote: Ironic that I saw this about 3 mins after posting my “God Keeps Blessing Me” post right? If I wasn’t a clear thinker I would get upset and say “aww man maybe I’m not so blessed after all”. Believe me, for all I’ve gained recently, losing a small car window is more than a fair trade. The post below still stands.
damn, that sucks. I commend you on keeping your cool.
2007 Phella = DMX
2009 Phella = Russel Simmons
Haha Nisarg that’s hilarious and somewhat true. It’s a matter of time before I start doing yoga and allowing my ex-wife to have the kids, the money, and the company name. Need to get that DMX back
I LOVE the positivity like for real.
A lot of people wouldn’t be able to maintain such composure after something like this, so I commend you big time.
I think this is how everyone should strive to be.
Man… Thats crazy dude. Good to see they didn’t vandalize too much.
Damn phel. Sorry to hear that man. Check out a place called Brandywinw Auto Parts and they’ll hook u up with a new window for cheap. They’ll even clean the broken glass for free. I stay getting broken into and been there like 3 times.
typo: thats Brandywine Auto Parts
Wow, at least they didn’t take the basketball, CDs and DVD player. That wouldv’e been a real jerk robbery. Its interesting how in a situation like that, where easily accessible objects can mean the most to one person and perhaps the least of thief’s wants/ needs.
