A moral man (unfortunately)
on Jul 05 in General by DanKerry went down to pick up the car from outside the railway station only to find that some arsehole has smashed the passenger side window. There was little of value in the car and nothing appears to have been taken.
Do you know how tempted I was to report that my ipod had been in there?
Very bloody tempted, that’s how much; but I didn’t.
I’m sure I’ll get my reward in heaven. It better be a damn ipod though or there is going to be trouble.

Good for you for doing the right thing. Let’s hope the arsewipe who broke into your car gets burning piles and an addiction to vindaloo, as well as being caught of course

That’s the kind of situation where your kids are watching, whether you know it or not.
This will be just one of many lessons they learn from you as they grow up. It’s oh so tempting to do the easy thing, to let the insurance cover that iPod, but the payoff with your kids will be so much bigger.
I think Santa might bring you a new iPod Touch this year.
Crazy bastard. Did you at least tell them that my diamond-encrusted Wii with the gold controllers was in there?
Avitables last blog post..I ain’t got shit
Damn, friend. You get a gold star for that one. I would definitely have thought twice about reporting it that way, with all the $$ insurance gets out of me…
Jamess last blog post..Independence Days!
Don’t you feel better for doing the right thing? Of course you don’t because you’re kicking yourself that you could have gotten a new iPod out of a bad situation. Still, in the long run I’m sure you’ll see how wise you were ;-)

I think Phil nailed it – at some level, in some way, your kids will pick up on a moral or ethical “ambiance” about how these things (and much bigger things) should be done. Well done you!

Confirming again what a great guy you are.
I’m sure the heavenly ipod will play heavenly tunes and all ;)

Karma will happen, it always does, you just have to wait.
Your new iPod will be bigger, better and have nicer tunes on it when it arrives – the phantom window breaker broke a window for no reward, a sign that someone is already casting all the duff dice in his direction.

You are a better man than me. Of course, I am a chick, so that’s not saying much.
How do you **know** it wasn’t in there? LOL
Absurdists last blog post..Why I haven’t been around
Glad to see you back up and running Dan.
Are you sure your i pod wasn’t tucked in the seat back or something and that’s why they broke in? They must have been after something.
I am very very proud of you. It restores my faith in human-kind to hear a story like that. I think I might have had to add the scratch on the side and a new Radley Handbag to the list.

Are you sure there wasn’t a new stainless steel appliance package in the back seat?
Jane – Wow, that’s some talent for punishment you have there. Ever considered a career as a old testament god?
Phil – I hadn’t thought about it that way, but I hope you are right.
Avitable – I did, but for some reason they didn’t believe me
James – It was very very tempting.
Kevin – No, your right, I don’t feel better at all:)
(un)relaxeddad – Maybe this will make up for that white slavery business I’ve got operating from the attic
Arjan – I hope not, as they say – the devil has all the best tunes.
Gary – I hope my lack of gadgets in my glove compartment ruined his day
Absurdist – I lost it a couple of days before I got broken into unfortunatly
Gail – I don’t know why the bog went down, but it seems ok now
Miss Britt – I don’t even want to know what that stainless steel ‘appliance package’ you are referring to is. Whatever you get up to in the privacy of your own bathroom is completely up to you.
You mean your toilet was broke too? What a day you’ve had!
Gails last blog post..Great British Food
Ooooh sooo tempting! I really hope the heavenly payout is worth it! ;o)
Penelopes last blog post..Driving me crazy.
I could never cheat like that either. I feel guilty taking the free steaks they give you when you get your broken windshield replaced.
Jeffs last blog post..A Waste of Money-sota
I’m the same way, however, it seems it would have been prudent for you to mention that Kerry’s iTouch was in there.
Whits last blog post..Homeless
I can safely announce I too am cut from only the finest moral cloth and would never entertain the thought of such a reprehensible act as insurance fraud.
On the other hand, if I thought my insurance would actually pay up…
Xbox4NappyRashs last blog post..As I sit in a pool of my own estrogen
I’ve had that happen before. I don’t understand why somebody just smashes a window. I would be tempted to report a missing iPod too, but my insurance company would end up raising my rates so it wouldn’t be worth it.
VegasDads last blog post..time to be a big boy
Gail – This damn keyboard can’t spell
Penelope – So do I. I hope me being atheist won’t throw a spanner in the works.
Jeff – Free steaks??
Whit – Damn it.
Xbox – I’m in the process of trying to claim it legitimately on my house insurance. Don’t hold your breath.
VegasDad – My work actually insure my car, so an increase in premiums wouldn’t have bothered me much.
Too honest for your own good.
Neighbourhood watch is needed round that station though, I’m always seeing broken window glass in the road. Little bastards. (I presume they’re little – they might well be six foot eight.)

Yep, and hopefully it’s the 80GB….or the trillion GB, seeing as how it’s heaven and all.

Good for you to do the right thing. Im sure the arshole will burn in hell in the judgement day.
nimzoindys last blog post..Reduce Insurance Costs, not Benefits
Excellent job mate! Take the higher road. Your blessings will be plenty as I hope ours all are when we get there. Besides that, when you get there you won’t need an ipod you’ll already have it all!
