A Thug with Choral Music

I've learned from living in urban areas for the past few years, never to leave anything valuable in your car. In Nashville, we learned it was better to leave the car unlocked because then if someone decides to break in, they don't have to break anything. This was espcially important with Jason's soft-top Jeep, but one idiot slashed the window before checking the door. Ah, criminals.
Anyway, this morning while taking the trash can to the curb I noticed my car insurance card on the sidewalk. Upon returning it to the center console I discovered some person, who smells funny, had gone through my console while I slumbered last night. As I said above, I never leave anything of remote value in my car. Spare change, insurance card and sunglasses. That's about it. I think he did take the $5 ladies sunglasses. Whatever.
However, I did have a couple burnt cd's in there from a road trip and they are now in the hands of the thug. iTunes has made this so not a big deal, because I still have the music, I'll just have to burn another cd, big whoop. So, the cd's I happened to have in my car? Jimmy Eat World, Ben Folds, and here's the fun part, 2 Christmas Choral Cd's! My good sense tells me that once this person reads the writing on these burnt cd's, he won't even give it a listen, but I really hope he'll be compelled from curiosity and that this new discovery of peaceful Christmas Choral music will soften his persona, will change his heart, will lead him to a new path in life. Perhaps he'll knock on my door during this holiday season donning a santa cap and tell me how much my choral music changed his life and he just had to let me know. And then he'll save a kitten from being hit by a car and give a baby a candy cane... All because he went through my car and found not a wallet, not an ID, not even a dollar's worth of change - he found choral music. Ah.
