When I have to drop off Little Man at preschool, I have to park the car and walk him into the classroom every morning. Which means the car is parked either on the street, or in a parking lot across from the street. The parking lot is tucked away behind a wall of trees, so it's secluded and quiet. Though it takes me between 5-10 minutes to drop off Little Man at school, I always take my purse with me when I park the car. I think that's just common sense, why leave valuables in the car even for a short period of time? It's like you are tempting fate, looking for trouble, eager for a throw down with a potential smash and grab robber. Yet at least 3-4 times during the school year I'll get an email from that Passive Aggressive Director about another mom's car being broken into and her purse stolen.
Seriously women, why would you leave your purse in the car? Are you so deluded that you think you live in a bubble and no crime will happen here in Satellite Village? Let alone crime will touch your gilded lifestyle? And what gets me is that after the initial email, usually in September of the school year, these women STILL leave their purses in their cars while they walk their kids to school. Come on, we all know which mom got robbed, we see the police cruiser/motorcycle on the side of the street with the officer taking down their information. Yet some brilliant woman decides to still leave her purse in the car to tempt fate. Do you think you're immune? That bad things will never happen to you in the same location and time as the previous incident? And you leave your purse in the front passenger seat, not even trying to hide it under the seat of in the trunk of the car. What is with these women? How many times do you have to get an email saying another car was smashed and a purse stolen? You think the robber doesn't know that a lot of stupid ass moms leave their cars full of possessions in order to drop off their kids at school? Having the common sense to take your purse with you is a good thing. Having the development of common sense after getting emails about robberies is also a good thing. But ignoring them all and continuing to leave your purse in a car is just plain stupid and maddening for me.
So when another smash and grab is reported and the upteenth email is sent warning us about leaving purses in cars, I'm just exasperated by the total stupidity and ignorance of these women. And to tell you the truth, I have no sympathy for you and your stolen purse. I think, good riddance. Maybe this will knock some sense into that bleached head of yours, past the silicon bobbing along in your bloodstream, and make your realize that you're no better than anyone else. That taking your purse with you, even for 5 minutes, is worth the trouble. And maybe you'll be an example for your children, teaching them to be safe when in public, and to not tempt potential criminals with laziness and small mindedness. Until that time, I'm betting that I'll get another email soon, before the school year is up, about another smash and grab. Seriously, if I was a criminal I'd be all over this area with the easy pickings. People just don't seem to learn from other's mistakes, or they are just too idiotic to care.
Okay, I did get another email from the Passive Aggressive stating another four cars had been broken into. At this point I'm almost wishing for more break-ins because people don't seem to understand the concept taking valuables with you instead of leaving them on the seat of the car!!! Stupid...just stupid.
