A Robbery, Straight Ninja Style

I can now confirm the presence of ninjas in Malaysia. After a night drinking (not drinking too much), I was on the way home at about 3am and I was a bit fatigued; it had been about a 10.5 hour workday before. I had dropped the lady off who I was drinking with, was about 2 minutes from being home and got to a red light which was a bit long. I dosed off for maybe one and a half minutes or so. I woke up to the sound of someone knocking gently on my car window telling me to wake up. Slightly bewildered and intoxicated, I wake up, look around and finish driving home. I get home a couple minutes later and as I'm leaving the car, I realize my iPod touch is no longer in the adapter holder plugged into my cigarette lighter. I searched the car a little bit more, then it hit me....I WAS ROBBED, BY SOMEONE AS STEALTH AS A FUCKING NINJA. That alcohol dose-off isn't some really hard dose off, even a gentle sound usually would wake you up from that. So you're telling me that during the very short time I nodded off, someone identified that I was asleep in my car, identified that there was valuable electronics in the open inside the car, approached the car in the middle of the intersection, opened the passenger door, grabbed the iPod, closed the door back in a way that didn't wake me up, and got missing. The most likely person is probably the guy who knocked on my window. Meaning he robbed me quietly enough to be undetected, then woke me up? Strange. In hindsight, I wish I would have been in a more clear mind state so I could have picked up and acted in real time. Also, I know realize that cars in Malaysia don't automatically lock the doors while in Drive the way most cars do in the US, so it may be a good idea to physically lock them myself if I am going to be out and in such a form. I'm honestly more embarrassed than mad at this point. Lesson learned: NINJAS ARE EVERYWHERE. In the words of the Wu Tang Clan. "Protect Ya Neck."
