Reunited and it Feels so good!!

After searching online this morning and figuring out how much of a car I can afford I got a call from West Valley police saying they found my car abandoned in a parking lot off Redwood Road. What a relief. Nothing majorly wrong with it. Smell of smoke, cigarette burns in the seat, slashed the inner console and all my presets were tuned to Latino stations. I didnt realize there were so many Latino stations in Salt Lake. I thought they had stolen the faceplate off the radio but they were just kind enough to remove it and place it under the seat so that nobody would steal the radio out of my stolen car. Thank you Theives!

There were some things of pretty good value in there that they didnt take. Just a joyride i guess... Although they put over a thousands miles on my car. The unnerving part is that the police man said that they have a master style key with rounded off teeth that will start the car right up. I guess I am in the market for a club that were so popular in the 80's.

Stolen Car/youtube friday

Farmer's Insurance commercial on what its like to have your car stolen.

I can relate to this as I am currently without a car because it was stolen this week. The commercial does a good job in showing some emotions that you go through when your car is stolen. My experience was not exaclty like this although an old woman did laugh at me.
I was at work wednesday afternoon and was just on my way out to an appointment. I walked out the office door and a fellow employee just pulled his car into a parking spot. A spot that I had parked in earlier that day and had seen my car there about an hour before. I just stood there in disbelief. It was so surreal standing there processing what was going on. Had I parked somewhere else and forgot? Who in the building was playing a joke on me? I checked my pockets for my keys and they were there. The fellow employee walked towards me and asked what was wrong. I told him that my car was parked in the spot that he had just parked in. "Sorry Dude" is all i got out of him. So that day I was pretty mad wondering who it was that took my car and the nerve of someone to do that. I felt so violated. How could they just take my car. The next day I wasnt just upset, I was pissed. Each day getting more pissed off.
The kicker..... In December the camry that i was driving finally died on me and I was fortunate enough to have my good friend Ryan sell me his 96 Accord. Although this was an older car with many miles i avoided a car payment. As i felt the value of the car was quite minimal, i opted to save the $400 per year that full coverage would have cost me and i took liabiity. Bad move. I am sure my car is in Kearns right now void of its tires, radio, airbags, dash, seats and my personal belongings.
