Our U-Haul store got robbed!

Friday, January 21, 2022


Yikes! The U-Haul store where I work got robbed last night!

The thief busted out the glass on the front door (shown above) and used a sledge hammer to steal all the cash drawers. Not just the cash. The entire drawer!

At the end of the day all he did was a bit of damage to the building because we don't keep anything of any value in the drawers after we close. Duh! Too bad, ya #dumbcriminal.

I almost didn’t even share this story because as intriguing as the exploits of dumb criminals are to others, they interest me very little. If it's made up (like Reno 911) I find it extremely funny and worth watching, but if it's reality, it just strikes me as sad.

I’m glad I DID decide to write about it, though, because Mr. sad U-Haul thief stole a key I was keeping in one of the cash drawers he made off with. It was just a backup key to a lock I use so all I have to do is get a new lock but I would never have remembered about storing that key there had I not written about this whole stupid event. 

I made a note to myself to get a new lock tamale.

You're happy I wrote about it, too, because you're one of those people intrigued by dumb criminal stories. lol. Don’t tell me you’re not.

I'm well aware I'm in the minority in this category.

I know this based on the popularity of the TV show Cops, a show you love and one of the longest running shows in the history of television, currently in it's 33rd season. Bad Boys, indeed!

If you enjoy Cops (and I’m pretty sure you do) I'm not going to hold it against you. Like I said, you're in the vast majority on that one.

I'm the weird one. 

You may even like The Simpson's as well, which is another show I can't stand but has been running even LONGER than Cops! 

So again. I'm the weird one here, not you. You're fine. 

Maybe one day one of your kind will even convince me to join the Simpson's/Cops watching team, But I doubt it. She’d have to be pretty hot and even then I don’t think it’s worth it  

Peace!
