[ WP ] It appears breaking *two* mirrors in a row brings you good luck . How do you discover this ?

I did it; I finally summoned the strength to wake up at the crack of dawn to go garage sale hopping. For months I ’ ve been hunting for a new telescope but no matter how hard I tried, they were always sold by 10AM. Not today though, today was different. 
 
 I started out on my usual path, hitting the Jefferson ’ s house first and working my way around the neighborhood from there. Three houses in a row turned up nothing, maybe it wasn ’ t my lucky day. I was headed back to my car when the unthinkable happened; I tripped over an extension cord and landed right on a wall mirror. 
 
 Bits of glass scattered in every direction. There goes my weekend, and every weekend for the next seven years. I can ’ t remember how many times I apologized but it was probably in the hundreds. I gave them a $ 20 bill for breaking it and turned back towards my car. That same extension cord came back for round 2 and wrapped around my ankle; my bad luck had begun. 
 
 I failed to keep my balance which sent me right into a table full of glass. On the other side of the table was another mirror. Oh God no, what did I do to receive this punishment? Everyone knows that breaking multiple mirrors compounds the years exponentially. My world slowed down as the mirror fell flat on its face, exploding in a brilliant display of glass. 
 
 I was about to give up all hope when the most incredible thing happened. Every glass on the table landed upright on the driveway around me. Not a single one chipped at all. What were the odds of that happening? As I began to stand up and try to reach my car for a third time, a voice stopped me. 
 
 “ Sir! ” it said, prompting me to turn around. That was it; the cops were definitely on their way to arrest the infamous Garage Sale Demolisher. 
 
 “ Yes? ” I squeaked out. 
 
 “ It appears to be your lucky day. I just found this baby stuffed in the back of a closet. I don ’ t remember ever buying it so you can have it free of charge. ” 
 
 My eyes lit up. He held an unopened box containing a brand new telescope. Maybe breaking the second mirror canceled the effects of the first one. I wasn ’ t going to argue the logic of superstitious physics so I took the box and walked the long way to my car.
