I never thought I'd regret the spaciousness of my glove compartment.
I've put together a list of all the CDs that I've confirmed as gone from my car. When I first got my car, I was so excited--look at that glove compartment! I can fit a bajillion CDs in there! Oh, well. I'm surprised and delighted to find that they missed grabbing my Dissociatives CD, one that would've been tougher to replace. Here's the list so far:
Ben Folds Five--Ben Folds Five; Whatever and Ever Amen*
Jeff Buckley--Grace
The Beatles--Abbey Road; Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; Revolver (oomph, the Beatles collection took a hit)
Silverchair--Young Modern
Hotel Lights--Hotel Lights
Coldplay--Parachutes; A Rush of Blood to the Head; X&Y (explain to me why I had every Coldplay CD I own in my car?)
Built to Spill--There's Nothing Wrong with Love
Colin Hay--Going Somewhere
Harvey Danger--Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone; Little by Little...
Death Cab for Cutie--Plans
Random Piano CD from Wal-Mart
Guster--Lost and Gone Forever; Golfdfly?
The only things I foresee having difficulty replacing are the silverchair (I had an import special edition thing, and I know they've rereleased the album in the States; I want my original, but I'm too cheap to buy it again) and the Hotel Lights (only because you can't find it in stores). I lost my original version of Whatever and Ever Amen, but I do have a rerelease of that. I don't remember Goldfly being in my car, but it doesn't seem to be with my Guster CDs, either.
My only other challenge will be collecting all the Classical music that was on my iPod, stuff I'd gotten from about ten bajillion different sources. I shall overcome, dammit! Music will live again, now with 80GB of space to run around in!
I filed a police report yesterday. I tried to do so Friday, but the exceptionally nice girl I dealt with told me my parents, as the owners of my car, would have to be there. When I brought them Saturday, a less-than-friendly police dude told me that wasn't necessary. He seemed more than a little skeptical of my story, couldn't understand why I didn't file a report until Saturday, and just generally didn't try to listen very much. I could only think of five CDs that were definitely missing yesterday as I hadn't had time to really look for anything, so now I supposed I should call them back and note that it was actually 19 CDs--I'm just not sure it's worth it. I did what I wanted, which was to get my iPod's serial number into the system in the hopes that someday it'll turn up.
And these are the goings on in the life of me.

The music history CDs would be great. If it's too much trouble, don't worry about the Beethoven CDs--I'm gonna get the symphonies from the library and another recording from Dr. Landers, so I should be good there. Thanks. =)
I love the rants, too, btw.
Joie, I think Eric might have the Guster cds you're missing, and maybe a Coldplay cd and the Ben Folds cd. (On computer of course...my boyfriend's a thief.) I'll ask him about it.
