Then last Wednesday, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the general parking lot, one of our patrons had her car window smashed out and her bag taken.
Two days after the incident, I noticed all of the shattered glass when I was taking the weekly unclaimed Lost and Found clothing to the donation bin. When I walked back into the branch I grabbed the janitor's closet key and picked up a trash pan and broom and got to work.
It really pisses me off when I think about it. Some people's reactions to the story were, "Well, she shouldn't have left her bag sitting in the open." Really? We're going to blame the victim here? What about the douche-bag that did this?
I fully believe in karma and whoever did this will end up paying for this. I have sent the broken glass to Tech Ops for DNA analysis and Detective Bookman is on the case.
Not cool.
ReplyDeleteDon't put your hope in Karmic comeuppence- you will only be disappointed. Good things happen to bad people all the time.
ReplyDeleteMISFIT,
ReplyDeletedefinitely not cool, it's a safe area too so my coworkers are pretty shocked.
SPENCER,
You and I ascribe to different belief sets. The balance of the world may often seem lopsided at some times but yin yang has always prevailed in my perspective. Everything has a way of rounding out.
I mean c'mon now, "the sun goes up, the sun goes down, the tide goes in, the tides goes out, never a miscommunication--Can't explain that!"
