Rachel's car got broken into last night: rear quarter glass smashed, blood everywhere, nothing taken though. Quotes to replace it varied from $95-$215 ("Because it's a european car, maam."). I called up my friendly Volkswagen service tech, who trembles at my call after the fiasco with Paul's car, and got a new genuine glass delivere3d for $41. Twelve minutes after it arrived I had it installed and all buttoned up again. Rachel is very happy. Glenn's not so sure I should be doing car glazing during work time.

In other news: Paul3's job proposal was accepted today, so he's moving to the south island later next month, leaving me to move in with Johnny and Kim. Lovely. I migh even save some money. If I still have a job. *grin*

Assuming Rachel is a co-worker, you handling this promptly for her probably wound up saving the company time.

Clever bear !

Where's Paul heading? South Island? Why?

UMMM...maybe this is just my mode of thinking, but: If nothing was taken and there is blood everywhere, ever consider the possibility someone was hit/pushed/thrown through the glass? Sounds more like violence than theft...

Not likely, it's rear quarter (THE glass to break when smashing into a car) and the blood's on the inside, mostly around the lock knob. Also, every junk holder- sorry, glove box- in the car has been opened and emptied. It's more a case of Rachel having nothing to steal- the stereo is crap, no CDs, lots of tissues and paperwork and girly things.

So get a sample of the blood... DNA!

Tell Glenn you were using your "vacation" time.
