here's a funny story. on new year's eve my friend's car was robbed. okay, it doesn't start out that funny, but i was already asleep when it happened so i was unconcerned. the cops called him at 8 o'clock the next morning to tell him that they had found the perps (is that the word? whatever it sounds cool). it was a married couple who had worked a couple of cars in the neighborhood. we were kind of puzzled that they would break into ro's car, cuz let's just say it's not exactly "new" or "working." but apparently they had seen a samurai sword from his halloween costume sitting in the back seat, and thought it was a real samurai sword. yeah, real bright obvs. when they discovered that the sword was plastic, they took the only thing of value in the car, a gold chain with a jewish star on it. except that it cost about fifty cents, and was part of my friend's jewish pimp costume.
the woman was caught breaking into another car, and the cops apprehended her partner, but because they hadn't caught him in the act, there was nothing to make it stick for him. until... the cops found that the woman had the chain from ro's necklace on her, and the man had the jewish star. bam! proof that he had been a part of the break in. now, there are no words for how dumb these people must be. i don't think i could ever understand the choices they made. why did they split up the necklace? why?? but i guess it's just something we'll have to accept. also, i guess sometimes cops can be nice, cuz the guy ro worked with on the case offered to give him a free voucher. for what, i don't know.
