So I went to the these beach in San Francisco with my dog called Fort Funston. I taker her there all the time, no big deal, its like a dog park beach thing, its wierd. Anyways I’m there for about an hourand when I get back to my car, the rear window is smashed. At first I didn’t think anything was gone until I realized my backpack with my laptop and all my school stuff was near that door. Yes I realize I probably shoulda been more careful and hid it, but I go there all the time and I’ve never heard of break in there. Whatever, nothing I can do about besides call the insurance later, butI wanted to get home.

On the way home, stop at a red light, still pissed off a little bit but I felt cooled off, I wasn’t speeding at all just taking my time to get home. The light I was stopped out turns green and I see the car in front of my move forward so I figure I’m good and hit the gas a little bit. While I’m doing this I do one of those face rub things people do when they’re mad and when I look up BANG Taco served hot and ready right to my front bumber. This is where things get even more fun.

He gets out to inspect them damage, I tell him I’m sorry and that we should pull off to the side of the road. He looks at me all confused, and then walks with his passengr to the side of road and gets on the phone without saying a single word to me. I keep on trying to tell him I’m sorry, and BTW the only damage was that his bumber got misaligned, there wasnt even a dent on it. He tells me in broken English that he doesn’t speak English. Great. Then he says “call police” so I did. The police say we can’t do anything or come out since no one was hurt, just excange info. I try to communicate that to this guy for like five minutes when a cop rolls by. I was very confused by this but he explained he was on his way and saw our cars stopped in the road.

Perfect oppurnity to get a report for that break in, so we started doing that while we tried to figure out how to talk to two guys that don’t speak english. The police wouldn’t or couldn’t idk send out someone who speaks mandarin so ended up doing it over the phone. So in other words my insurance is about to skyrocket.

I know this sucks, but are you from around there? Fort Funston is by Lake Merced, which is still in a major city. Be more careful, don’t be a target. I’m sorry this happend.

Remember, it is just material things.

Imagine if you lost your dog today, instead of your laptop and your school stuff?

That sucks, man.

I had my car broken into a couple times in Oakland. One time it got broken into while it was broken into. I had to park on the street instead of in the secure parking area due to a power outage (power gate on our parking). I came out the next day to a broken windows. I went and put the car into the secure parking. When I came down an hour later, someone had opened all my doors and trunk and glovebox to give the car a twice-over. Clearly one of own neighbors couldn’t resist the urge to get themselves a souvenir commemorating how shit-tastic oakland is.

The moral of the story? California Sucks.

Nocal is hell on earth. I’ve been there a handful of times and always got jerked with by people there. The homeless people are so agro it’s insane. I’d rather visit Cleveland.
