Tis the season to dead-bolt your doors, have your mail held, bring any extra checks and valuables home and -oh be jolly! Ahh, Christmas in Carbondale, what joy. Consider this, a smile and hello from a stranger can leave you in a good mood all day… and then there’s the opposite. Instead of telling my sob story, as you may presume, I got ripped off. I’m sure you’ve read a lot about the various thefts recently, especially during the holiday season. Wait a minute!

Isn’t it Christmas time. What happened to giving, sharing and helping those less fortunate? All you thieves, may not realize how much you really stole. You took away a lot of my time (police, SIUC, banks, etc.) and part of my trust for people. Two things you can’t buy with money. I should be studying and humming Christmas tunes, not dealing with your screwed up way of getting through life. Bah humbug to all you thieves and a Merry Christmas to the rest of you.
