To the person who stole my mom’s silver Toyota Echo from a Makawao parking lot the other night: kudos to you. You just stole the sole mode of transportation for a single mother of three. My mom is a waitress who works constantly just so we can get by, and that car was the one nice thing she bought for herself after years of driving a beater. She got a really good deal on it, too, so it’s probable that even with the insurance money she won’t be able to afford another nice car like that. Luckily, mom doesn’t attach too much value to material items; she cares more about being positive and living life to the fullest. Unlike you, who has no problem stealing from families right around the holidays.
