Jennifer in Echo Park admits that she stole this note under the cover of night — she found it stuck with silver electrical tape to the back of a battered electrician’s work truck — BUT, she contends, “I would never ever steal someone’s leather pants (out of their truck). I am not a monster.”
Meanwhile, Sam in Pomona snapped this photo at the local Wal-Mart. Will this persecution never end?!

Was the note stolen before the person it was intended for had a chance to read it? I find this offensive. If that is the case, you are a monster. I now find it hard to believe you didn’t steal the pants, but if someone else stole the pants they will now believe it went unoticed. Monster, indeed.

They must have been the leather pants he wore to his “coming out” party.
I don’t think they’ve ever been cleaned since that night and still have the stain left by an anonomous donor. “Scent”imental indeed.

The pants were sitting quietly by themselves in the passenger seat when they were taken.

Pomona seems pretty far from the normal habitue’ of the guyliner type of abuser.

Everytime I take my black eyeliner to Walmart with me all it does is complain about not being able to reach the black lipstick shelf. Usually I just ignore it’s needs and move onto the next department. Next time I’ll ask for some assistance for it.

haha, that is hilarious about the eyeliner. The fact that it has gotten so bad that they had to remove it or whatever they did with it that required a sign is very interesting.

A battered electrician’s truck and leather pants conjures images of saggy buttcracks. He should consider this a favor.

Well, of course I steal. I’m Goth. I smoke dope and complain about my parents and ditch school and talk about how different and unique I am while huddled in a basement somewhere with all my other misfit friends wearing our almost identical Goth uniforms. That doesn’t leave much time for job hunting, does it? Though it’s not like anyone would hire me anyway because I refuse to conform. Society just doesn’t get me. So what if I’ve got more holes in my face than the local golf course? Don’t judge me, man.

Never thought I’d cry, but when I zip my fly,
I’m getting sentimental over pants.
An inseam of thirty-two just thrills me through and through,
I’m getting sentimental over pants.
I thought I was happy, I could live without my leathers,
Now I must admit, I’m barely keeping it together.
Won’t you help me now, and just bring back my trou,
`Cause I’m getting sentimental over pants.

Sentimental value? Does that mean Robert Smith left a pecker trail on them?

Proper self-loathing goths don’t do WalMart. Proper self-loathing goths also don’t do Pomona. Nope, this is clearly the work of goth wannabes who think that stealing eyeliner from WalMart is symbolic of their disdain for corporate America. They’d steal from their mothers but it’s so hard to find her black eyeliner with the glare coming off the blue eyeshadow in the bedroom.
It’s important to point out, however, that this is not the work of emo punks. Emos might very well steal black eyeliner but they’d probably cut themselves too and I don’t see any signs of disenfranchised blood.

To the thief who stole my leather pants out of my truck: you suck and I may bind and gag you with this electrical tape, but please don’t return the pants as I sure as hell don’t want them back now.

Do you mean to imply that there hasn’t yet been a massive goth migration to Forks, Washington?
I thought for sure that it would have happened by now …

Why do leather pants need a valve? Hmmm, Maybe that’s what the note-writer meant about never knowing the pants valve.

Perhaps they need assistance with the eyeliner not because they steal it but because they use it and put it back. Pinkeye anyone?

I stole your pants! They weren’t leather. They were Naugahyde!
How crossed do the wires have to be to make you buy “faux pleather?”
I’m so sick of all these miserly poser electricians that I feel like stripping my clothes off and squealing as loudly and incessantly as a freshly-birched school girl.

If he’s that sentimental about those damn leather pants just think how melancholy the damn cow that gave them up is.

As opposed to the leather pants stolen during his performance as a male stripper.
Folks, if it’s tossed into the crowd, you can keep it. If it’s tossed on the stage, show restraint and leave it alone.

Stealing leather pants does not make you a monster. Whoever swiped them was doing society a favor by keeping society’s fat asses out of those cow hide monstrosities. As long as the pants thief keeps his/her ass out of them, we’ll be hunky dory.

The critical question: was the electrician (a) beaten up or (b) rolled in breadcrumbs?

To whoever owns the P.O.S truck,
Value? Value? Please tell me how a cum stained, crab-infested pair of pleather pants has any value. Seriously, the only reason I took them was to wipe my ass on my way home from the Bar last Friday. Now thanks to you I have friends crawling in MY pants. Next time keep your infected pants in your house, or I will turn your P.O.S truck, into a “Dump Truck”.
Thank you,
Scratchy

I’d say the person who stole the pants deserves a Nobel Peace prize, for we will never again have to lay our eyes on the hideousness that is a man in leather pants. Thief please step forward and claim your prize for the world is eternally grateful!

I don’t know why everyone is assuming that the PAN was written by a man. I’m picturing a sassy female electrician who prowls the gay clubs in hot leather pants searching for a box that has nothing to do with tools, if you catch my drift.

Great. I live just outside Echo Park. Does that mean my leather pants are no longer safe in my car? Sheesh. If ya can’t keep your leather pants in your car at night, where can you keep them. Surely not my closet. I keep my GPS system and other car accessories in THERE. What is the world coming to.

It looks like the note writer started the sign with the intent of using “hard edge 80′s metal” font. He/she only made it through the first line of text. As the note goes on, it seems he/she became more and more angry at the thought of someone stealing the treasured leather pants. By the end of the note, he/she is barely able to write O’s and A’s without an “angry scribble.” LMAO at this awesome and fully warranted PA stamp of approval.

Let’s see…”To the thief that stole my leather pants”…hmm, I better add “out of my truck…” yeah that’s better. I have to be clear about the right pair. I don’t want that dude that stole the other pair right off my drunk ass last Saturday to come back…no, definitely not. I still have some healing to do…
