Free ticket and vandilism?

I'm the one who took up the offer of the free ticket in exchange for the poster. Thanks so much jjm33 for the ticket. It was definitely legit. I had decided to drive up to Mansfield- instead of flying (way more expensive than I thought, and in the end- it cost me a full tank of gas to get there- not too bad).

So on the way up, helpme2helpyou called and offered his extra ticket- which was a better one (section 1). So I sold the old for the new. I still got the poster for jjm33- it was still a free ticket after all. The concert was great- my 3rd ever and I can't understand why I waited so long to see them. The seat was great- met really nice people and hope to see them again. Ted Leo wasn't so bad this last time- they kind of grew on me.

After waiting on the long line to pick up the poster, I get back to my car and no driver-side mirror! Coming from a nice night to this, sucked big time. Unless someone was going 30mph in the crowded lot, the amount of damage to the mirror was astounding. And no other part of the car was hit (thanks much for that). So vandalism? Feels like that to me. My one lone NY plate car in a sea of MA's, and the only one to be damaged. Not everyone cares about baseball rivalry!

So thanks to the ass that messed up my car. It made the 4 1/2 hour drive exciting.

    a few years ago, when I was at the movies, I came out to my truck and noticed that someone had stolen the tailgate off my freakin' truck! What the hell!!???

    When we had the diesel 8 footer, he had to keep the tailgate locked up for that reason.

    I had never even thought about someone stealing the tailgate. I asked the cop why someone would do this and he said, they probably got in an accident and needed to replace theirs- guess it makes sense. Then he told me how easy it was to unhook it- wow- I had no idea.

    Sorry to hear about your mirror.

    Just goes to show. There is no such thing as a free ticket.

    Sucks.
