Is he sure he didn't just get towed away?

Yeah. WAs about to go to the grocery store only to notice the car is gone. Good fun, eh? The point is, it was a ****ty car, so who ever stole it probably gets pissed off, it didn't even have much gas in it.

There's a comedian who does a bit where his identity is stolen. Once the perpetrator realizes how many debts he has, the perpetrator tries to give his identity back. But the comedian refuses to take it. "Now, he has to pay my bills."

Hahaa! I recieved a call at 11:50PM from secret number. I was like wtf? But I'm still up so I decided to answer. Just for the curiosity, plus that would trouble me for the whole night so find out who it is!

Yay! It's the cops! Officers found my car!

One for the officers, to serve and protect! :beer: I'll have a few for them on the weekend for sure.

I figured it would be having at least some problems, like broken lock or something, but nothing. It was clean, it was in the same condition that I left it. Amazing. Nothing was actually broken. Nothing. It was parked in a parking lot as well, well lit area

It was obvious it was some drunks, because it was in part of a city that is.. let's just say problematic with interesting people in it. Drunks, because it was parked, and the front tires were almost one meter over, on grass. That was lucky, because the cops checked the car out, it wasn't parked correctly (even though it was just fine). And tadaa! I get the call

I took a cab, because it's only 5 minutes from here and wanted to drive it back home but the battery was dead to not much surprise. But other than that, it was totally cool The cab driver was friendly and funny as hell as well so pretty much a succesful night in casa de Pekka The driver actually turned off the meter almost half way in, plus he took me back because the battery was dead, so I only paid for quarter of the trip. Which is VERY cool

One for the officers

Man I'm so glad they didn't break things, usually these joyriders, when they take crappy cars, they just end up burning them or something like that. Trashing it for the fun of it. But this was parked and everything . And nothing was broken.

See? Told you the undefeated mark still stands. Time to add one to the win column

[Pekka]

Nah, this doesn't count as a victory. Nor is it a tie. It's just... a non-event in SC life. A victory would have been to see the car in a parking lot and some punk getting in as if he owned it now, the aftermath of that would be victory.

Regardless, things like these suck even though the car wasn't worth anything, they still suck a lot. But when turnovers happen, it is equally fantastic Just feels good. I also feel good for the cops, because they found it. They can't actively look for stolen cars so they just randomly find them every now and then, chances were, that unless the tires weren't on the grass a bit, it woudl have gone long unnoticed. But they paid attention, did their job and served a citizen well today

Awesome news! The world returns to equilibrium...

[Pekka]

Yeah. It's like the economy on crisis seems like nothing once again. I would expect good news tomorrow, seems like the market might be recovering.

Glad you got your car back.
