I want to kill somebody

The BBQ Pit
1

My 20 gig ipod and my sony dj headphones, the two most valuable and cherished possessions I own in the world were stolen right under my fucking nose by some gutless, cocksucking, mutherfucker, and if I ever meet that piece of shit face to face I’m going to beat his fucking head in.

I DJed a sorority party at a local bar. The night was outstanding, free drinks, ridiculously hot girls trying to cozy up to the DJ dropping the beats, and NCCA tournament champions Hakim Warick and Carmello Anthony rolled in. Plus I got some of my boys to crash and when I was off the mixer we scammed every chick in sight… classic college evening with only two week of school to go.

The night comes to a close, I play the last song, collect my check and my friends and I start packing up the equipment. I grab one of the big ass speakers, my friend Jordan grabs the other one, Danny my roommate gets the mixer and cd decks, and Jeremy gets the speaker stands, no one manages to grab the headphones or the ipod, the two things that belong to ME.

I pull the car around we start loading it up and Jordan asks if I have the phones. I say no, and then we go on a frantic search. I go back into the bar and the owner and ask if they’ve seen either. Out of the blue he cops an attitude and without missing a fucking beat snaps that aint nothing of mine is in there. Now I know that everyone who lives in Syracuse, NY thinks the kids at Syracuse University are spoiled, stuck up, rich, JAP-ass, retards, and on the whole that characterization isn’t totally unfounded… but I aint made of money and I’m no average SU student, regardless there is a bias against me and those dirty motherfuckers saw an easy way to fuck a stranger and they took it, and there is not a damn thing I could do about but piss and moan and make my knuckles bleed hitting a mailbox, all three of which I did in short order.

To top it all off, three, count them THREE, different girls that I’ve been hitting on for some time were all so impressed by the party I ran they invited me back to their apartments, but I was so fucking out of my head I couldn’t even sit still when I went back, and I just left and came home and now I’m writing all this bullshit which has happened in the last 20 fucking minutes down, and to be honest I do feel a little better.

I loved that fucking ipod man, loved it, I never went anywhere without. I spent a good chuck of summer’s earnings on it and now I’m all but fucking broke, I can barely pay my electric bill…. Damn it all too hell. People are bastards.

Don’t suppose the iPod’s covered by your homeowners’ insurance policy, by any chance?

Apple is supposed to have some music-related “media event” next Tuesday; rumors say they might introduce a new iPod, which would give you a(nother) incentive to upgrade…

3

I heard Mac bought some record label, and that was the cause for ‘media event’.

Thanks for the suggestion rjung, but unfortunately my parents have extended their homeowners policy to me while I’m in school, and because they blame me for the theft and because they are afraid of their premiums going up they have decided not to file a claim.

Basically, I’m fucked six ways from Sunday. Part of me knows it’s just a physical possession, ultimately it can and will be replaced someday down the road, but right now I’m just so fucking bummed my pod is gone

It literally provided the soundtrack to my life. I don’t even have a CD collection anymore.

5

You think the bar owner stole it? Call the cops. See if they can get a search warrant. Was it password protected?

6

Brutus, the rumors are that Apple may make an offer for Universal Music, but (a) no one has confirmed the rumors, (b) no deal has been made, and © CEO Steve Jobs denied everything at the quarterly report last week.

cainxinth, that really sucks. Sorry to hear your harents aren’t being more supportive.

7

I’m definately going to contact the police and report the theft, I doubt anything will come of it though. I don’t think there is enough evidence to support a warrant. Sadly, there is no password protected on an ipod, although thats a pretty good idea. Whoever has my pod has 350 albums of really good music to listen to (if I do say so myself).

8

That really, really sucks that you’ve lost that stuff. My hopes that you’ll get it back.

What do you mean by this, precisely?

9

You know, game, flirting, its just an expression.

10

Heh. When I ran across this thread it was immediately above the thread titled “IS this what u want ??? be honest …”

Funny.

11

cainxinth - so did the club owner definitely shaft you out of the iPod?

Revenge is a dish best served cold. How revenge might best be hadis an excercise left to the reader. The key to success is not mouthing off about your plans. Or, you could just lump it. Either way, you have my sympathies - if I lost that I’d be going crazy too.

12

I got it all back!!!

The bar called me and said the cleaning crew found my stuff, which seems impossible because they went missing in plain sight. One minute it was sitting on a table the next it wasn’t, where could it have gone? I showed up and the manager returned everything to me, but he acted really shady about it, and wouldn’t give any specifics. I think somebody who works there took them, bragged about it, and had to return them. But whatever, I don’t care if underwear gnomes were responsible… I GOT MY POD BACK… THANK YOU JEBUS!!!

13

Hallelujah!

14

I’m quite literally sitting here stroking my ipod and whispering “my preciousssss”

15

So what happened with the chicks?

16

I am happy to hear of the safe iPod return. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost mine. It’s only 5 gigs but it’s still my personal favourite possession.

17

The chicks were the cause of a different kind of stroking.

18

So, cainxinth, wanna show me that iPod?

:wink:

19

:eek:

I would but my gentlemanly code prohibits me.

20

I have a Creative Dap Jukebox (20 gig) which cost me a bloody fortune, so I half feel your pain (only half - because I don’t yet know what it’s like to have a 20 gig mp3 player stolen)
