While doing my civic duty, participating in jury selection, the judge asked the large pool of jurors to stand if you have been a victim of a crime. Nearly the entire room stood. As he went around the room inquiring the nature of the crime, it alarmed me that (I estimate) at least 40% said their car was broken into.
For convenience I frequently leave my car in front of our condo, but upon hearing this, I have been making the point to put the car away in the locked underground garage after each use. Better safe than sorry.
Not to be dense, but I’m confused- when were you performing jury duty? I thought you were in Europe… do you have dual citizenship in the UK and had to fly over there as your ‘civic duty’?
p.s. if that’s your excuse for not being at work for like 10 days, I’m totally ratting you out, cause I don’t buy it : )
