Dept. Of Bad Breaks

Ahh, there’s a nice shiny car. It’s all clean and nice. Hmm… maybe it has something inside. Do you think… it might… hmm… I can just smash in and… uh oh:

A thug with a lengthy arrest record is again behind bars after he allegedly broke into Police Commissioner Sylvester John-son’s car last week and stole his city-issued cell phone, police said. [...]

“The commissioner knows it wasn’t personal. It’s just life in the city,” said Sgt. Kimberly Byrd, Johnson’s chief of staff.

Byrd described her boss’ reaction to the crime as “even-keeled,” noting that “no one escapes crime, not even the commissioner.” [...]

Johnson keeps his car shiny and clean, “so it probably caught the kid’s eye, and he tried to get something out of it,” Byrd added.

So, basically, the way to avoid getting your car broken in to? Keep it nice and dirty. Thanks, commish.
