This is getting to be a dangerous place to work. For the third time this year, my car was broken into and robbed. This time they popped the hood and cut out the battery. It wouldn't be so bad except that the thief cut the postitive/negative cables.
A car battery? What the hell? I asked the cops when they showed up if there was a run on car batteries and they just shook their heads. One of the cops was a real dick. He said it was my own fault for parking in a known high-crime area -- the Restaurant Row parking lot? -- and when I said I didn't have a choice as I work there, he threatened to ticket me. I'm still not sure what for. It was clear he was annoyed at being called in on such a minor crime. Sorry, pal.
The Restaurant Row security guards said there are portions of the parking lot that simply aren't covered by security cameras and aren't patrolled by guards. Since they charge nearly $200 a month to park there, you'd think there'd be at least minimal security. No. It's a "known high-crime area."
Oh, this was in broad daylight.
