Jan 09No, the key was not in the safe at the time.
When I got to the office this morning, there were about four cop cars sitting outside. As I walked in, I joked to a coworker, “Maybe the office was robbed and we can go home.”
Turns out I'm Nostradamus.
Sometime over the weekend, someone (or ones) broke into the office and jacked the safe up but good. In a remarkable stroke of luck, however, it turns out there wasn’t anything valuable in there: $37 worth of petty cash and the licenses for Microsoft Office. Update: Since there might be criminals reading this blog on the Interwebs, I’ve been directed to remove some details. Anyway, the bottom line is that there are plenty of better targets in the building. Or next door at the car dealership.
(Side note: maybe my expectations were set too high by unrealistic heist movies with catchy soundtracks, but I expected a more intricate and admirable scheme.)
To soothe my shattered nerves after this heinous crime, I went to Isabella’s for lunch, which I highly recommend if you’re ever in Little Italy and feel like insanely tasty sandwiches.

Jesus. That looks like a lot of prybar work for a nice dinner and an Office license.
I almost feel sorry for whoever went through that. I mean, they weren’t even licenses for CS4 or ArcMap or something, you know, nice.
