A couple of weeks ago, I noticed something a little disturbing. Our car showed evidence of an attempted break-in. The doors of our car are capped with a thick piece of black plastic. This particular part is very heavy duty.

A few weeks ago I noticed that the piece was bent out of place. It looked exactly how you might expect it to if someone had pried it back to allow a wire to slide between the door and window.

I naturally assumed that someone had tried to break into the car.

I tried to bend this piece back into place, but it wouldn't budge. It stubbornly remained motionless in that cockeyed position. I assumed it was just bent.

This morning I noticed that piece is not bent, but is in fact popped back into place exactly where it should be. There is no indication that it was ever any other way.

Now, when I fiddled with this piece, I couldn't even get it to move. Not even a little. It was absolutely rigid.

So… do you think maybe the original would-be thief had an attack of conscience and returned to the car with a new part?

Or am I just crazy?
