Car Update

So I hope my post isn't too difficult to understand (I am going on a few hours of sleep). I received a phone call this morning at 1:00 am (it felt like 5) telling me that they had found my car.

They had found it a few minutes earlier and gave me the info to pick it up today. It got impounded so we had to go through a bunch of things to get it out. When I went to pick it up, to my surprise there didn't seem to be any apparent damage. The car did "ding" as though there was no key in the ignition. Most of my stuff was still there and everything had been lovingly--or not so lovingly thrown out of the glove box (apparently they did not find my valuable sporks that I keep in there as my secret stash). They did get into the trunk and I no longer have skates. That's probably the worst part of the whole thing--now I have to save up for a new pair of skates. :(

They did trade me a jacket for the skates though (what kind of thief leaves things?). I also have a DQ cup with a straw still in it. I am going to call the police and see if they would want to saliva from the cup...sneaky, sneaky. Stupid though to leave that as well. I also found some business cards for a photographer in Ogden who has a pretty nice site (don't worry I checked it out).

All in all, it wasn't too bad of a deal. I still need to take it in and get the ignition fixed since I can drive it without any keys and the car may have an alignment problem. At this moment, Jared and I are not quite sure what we will do with the car since I'm the "sugar mama" for a few more months. Bryce does seem to think that we could get a pretty good car that has been repoed because of the economy. For the time being, we will put an alarm on it so that it doesn't get stolen a third time while I own it.

I have had several offers of people who would like me to drive their cars around in hopes that they will get stolen. I did have to break the bad news and let them know that the cars that get stolen for me are on a three-year cycle and they usually get found.

Sorry about your skates! Hope the jacket fits you or Jared! I just can't believe that this has happened twice. I can't wrap my brain around it! So bizarre! Good luck with figuring out what to do.

I can't believe that that happened again! I'm glad that they found it for you though. I hope that you guys had a fun Christmas/New Years and that everything is going great!

This is so crazy about your car, I still can't get over how ironic the whole situation is.

If you guys would like to come down for Anna's baby blessing it'll be on the 11th.

Just e-mail to let me know: ronnielainelarsen@gmail.com
