I Can Just Tell
…it’s going to be one of THOSE days.
We woke up this morning to find a stolen car dumped outside our house. Stripped down and just dumped. No doors, no upholstery, no gas cap, just the shell of a very nice little red Honda. It wasn’t there when I went to bed at a little after 2AM. Go figure.
The police say the entire county’s under siege with this sort of thing, and they’ve chosen our neighborhood as a dumping ground. I haven’t noticed a lot of stripped cars around, but the cops are so quick at removing them–as I speak, this one is being loaded onto a tow truck–I suppose that’s not unusual. It was kind of fun to see the officer use the mobile evidence kit on it.
I would have thought the thieves would take the tires, since they look new. But then, I suppose you can’t dump a car with no tires. On the other hand, transporting this thing around presupposes that someone either drove it out here, or towed it somehow.
The cops tell me even an old junker of a car isn’t safe, since the ignition’s easy to crack. *sigh* I hope, whoever owns this little red Honda (Jesus, they even took the back bumper) has insurance.
So, good morning, everyone. I am bracing myself for weirdness today. Let’s hope I’m wrong. But the air last night was warm and still, even though it smelled like fall. It is still smelling like a change in the weather today.
