I suspect that you're right that it's a total loss. I filed a police report though so they'd have a record of the theft, but I doubt that anything will come of it. Although the iPod was a gift and does have a personalized inscription to me on the back. I think it is the fact that it happened so close that I find most disturbing about the entire thing.

I guess I'll have to start pricing new ones. As I told Tas, I can't be dependent on the wasteland that is local radio. Especially given how much time I spend in the car driving kids around!
