Won't you be my neighbor?
I wrote a few months ago how somebody had swiped my towels from the laundry. I really have no idea who it was, but I do have some evidence that the girls who lived above me like the five-finger discount. When I went to throw in a load of laundry this afternoon - my first since returning from my self-imposed exile - I found that my bottle of laundry detergent was missing!
On the bottle I had drawn several stars, in order to differentiate it with the other bottles sitting by the washer. I didn't want to write "This belongs to Tim," because that seemed kind of snitty. I figured a star was the next best thing. But no, the bottle was gone.
In the meantime, the girls who lived above me shipped out and moved somewhere else, and the apartment was taken over by four other girls. I've met three of them over the past two days, and they all seem like nice, friendly people. Plus, certain readers of this Commentary will be happy to know that they are Miami Redhawks. In short, they don't seem like the kinds of people who would steal my bottle of detergent, while my star-scrawled bottle mysteriously disappeared with my neighbors.
The question is, do you think the previous occupants of the apartment took my bottle of detergent? If so, are a bunch of stars drawn upon a bottle of Tide enough to distinguish it from all the other unmarked bottles? Seriously, I can't take all this anarchy!

First of all, I guarantee those other girls stole your stuff. Unfortunately isn't posession 9/10 of the law? How does that work in a theft situation? And of course then the sluts moved out. Perhaps they had a crush on you and wanted to use your towels?
As for the new ladies, first of all, they better keep they damn hands of my man! Secondly, they better not be stealin my man's stuff. For either offense I'll beat the ever living crap out of them.
Sorry for the negativity, I'm in a crap mood, as you well know.
