Someone stole my umbrella today. I was in the library,studying, and like a good student I left my umbrella outside. Lo and behold when I get back got out, it vanishes without a trace as if it had been in the bermuda triangle. Now, obviously umbrellas can't walk so I have come to my conclusion that my precious little red rain buddy has been stolen.
I suppose I got what I deserved. This isn't really the first time this had happened. Back in college (and it what many would say a more elite school) my black umbrella was stolen. Well, I didn't learn my lesson, and now in a new school, a new thief has stolen my umbrella. (I wasn't the only victim though, two other girls couldn't find their umbrellas, therefore strengthening my belief that it was stolen). It's annoying to think that I am a victim again, but am I to be completely blamed for trusting that no one would steal an umbrella? Are times that hard, or are our values that screwed up that people have no qualms about just taking something. I used to think not, but frankly the more umbrellas they steal from me, the more I don't believe in the people's integrity.

You'd be surprised.. one of the students where I teach actually took a handphone from a lady on the train (Well, he said that he found it). She had sat opposite him and left her h/p on the seat when she got up. Not only did he not stop her, he took the phone, used up the remaining credit, removed the SIM card & now uses the phone as his own. No morals whatsoever. I know it's hard to have faith in the virtue of humankind nowadays :p
