Early this morning, thieves ripped my scooter while I slept. It's weird, 'cause I didn't feel very upset about it. Maybe I was still half asleep when my resident manager woke me at 6:30 am to tell me it was missing, but I felt very content with the whole thing. I still feel so, as I believe it fulfills some karmic duty I owe.
Unfortunately, this could not come at a worst time. I am amid finals and have a major presentation tomorrow. Along with many other stressful elements recognized last night, including my landlord raising the rent, I am already in a precarious position.
What is most weird is the fact that the thieves cut through my $100 chain. I was almost certain if my bike were to be stolen they would remove the wheel before attempting to cut the chain. Apparently, the chain was my weakest link because they cut through it with ease. They even left it as a sort of testament to my insecurity. And even though the police dusted for prints, no evidence was recovered.
Luckily, the chain/lock is still under warranty. Maybe I can recover some of my losses? I guess for now I will have to walk, or even worse, ride the bus!
