Things of value...and then some

I'm starting to feel that people in my small town are fostering an over developed sense of value...at least in terms of material things. For example, I cite a recent police blotter:



$127 for a videotape? C'mon, even my 25th Anniversary edition of American Graffiti DVD autographed by Paul LeMat, Candy Clark, and Bo Hopkins isn't worth half that.

And what the heck kind of metal-studded belt can do $387 worth of damage to a steel reinforced and sheetmetaled door of a late-model Ford Crown Victoria black and white? Has S&M fashion progressed so far that I'm that out of touch...not that I was ever in touch with THAT brand of fashion to begin with.

I'd best stop typing now.
