Driveway, last week


Me, to my neighbor, Jose: Hey, make sure you keep your car door locked. Someone took my GPS last night.


Jose: Aw, really? I'm sorry to hear it.


Me: Thanks


....


Jose: I've got one of those but I don't use it. At first it was cute, hearing the voice telling you where to go, but then it got annoying. I only go to places where I know where I'm going! I don't use it anymore.


Me: I used mine a lot. I have a bad sense of direction.


Jose: Mine's a good one. Worth 300 bucks. It's a Mag-Ah-Lan?


Me: A what?


Jose: A MAG-uh-LAN.


Me: Oh. I hear those are pretty good.


Jose: What kind was yours?


Me: A Garmin.


...


Me: The cop said whoever took it probably takes those all the time, and sold it to a neighbor or a pawn shop.


Jose: A pawn shop, no kidding? Hey, that's where I got mine.
