I think I already told you this, didn't I? But ever since I bought my car in the 3rd week of Oct, someone has been regularly coming by to vandalize it. Approximately every couple of days (even though I don't any longer use my parking space) someone comes by with a key or a bat and bashes in part of my car. They must live in my bldg. I interpret the vandalism this way: "Move out of La Pew before we turn your car into smithereens"
A few days ago I noticed that they took a bat to the roof of the car and bashed part of it in. I believe this is reverse racism, similar to the intimidation they use when they break into my apt. There are definitely other people in the bldg. who are being robbed who are not white, but I haven't heard of anyone who has been robbed as frequently as me. Turns out that even the black men in my bldg. don't feel safe and many are packing a weapon for "protection"
With the little bit of strength I have, I seek housing as if I am a battered woman who is homeless, but it makes no sense for me to take shelter anywhere else in the city. The car is a ticket to a better life but I don't even have a safe place to park it.......................................I have to try to keep the location of my car a secret until I can move out.
