So I was at work today and reading the paper and having a smoke on my break and there was this article about how Canada was the 8th most peaceful and safest places to live. LOL the U.S. was right before Iran! Anywho so yea I thought that was pretty cool in the back of my head.

So as I walked back home (this is around 6:30pm) from work I go up my drive way and see some weasel kid shimming through my window. WTF! I yell and other obscenties at this dude he sees me and freaks a little. I drag him out and slam him against the ground roughing him up a little (mind you I was wearing steel toes from work). Anyway to avoid a long description of a play by play... I drag him inside after checking for weapons to avoid hassles from cops. The kid freaks a little thinking I'm gonna hold him there till cops come.. and he whines about it.. *smack smack* he shuts up.

I look around my place my guitars and gear and amp are untouched. Maybe he didn't get to them yet or was an idiot. I'm moving right so all my shit that WAS packed up was all over the place. In his backpack he had my Xbox, PS2, games, My Roland phrase lab mixer dealie, a bottlle of Glennfiddich single malt scotch whiskey (sooooo good), Some speakers and what little cash I had lying around.

Anyway I tell him to empty his pockets and tell him the deal, checking his wallet finding out where he lives and all that. I take his smokes and about a quarter of weed he had on him as compensation and I throw his sorry ass out as he runs away.

Gawd dammit. I almost get robbed and I'm gone in 2 more days and it's my brothers birthday today at that. I'm just lucky I got home in time.. That would have sucked.. But yea my neigborhood I live in is pretty nice and quiet lots of older peeps and portugease dudes, which made this really surprising. All good now though.

Close call!
