Stop! Thief!

by on August 14, 2007 in Uncategorized

This morning, I got up, took a shower, got dressed, searched for my
keys and walked out the front door to take off for Evers &
Company’s weekly business meeting.

But, wait!

Where’s the car?  Didn’t I park it right out in front of the house?

It wasn’t there.  I looked up and down the street.  No Black Cherry Pearl Lexus sedan!

Yikes!

So,
I became one of the District of Columbia’s victims of car theft – on a
scale of 1 to 10 of bad things that could happen, this might have been
about a 3.  Nobody got hurt.  It’s just a car.

And now, I’m feeling guilty!

Just
last week, a buyer commented on how nice my car was.  I responded by
saying it was a gas guzzler that exponentially increased my carbon
footprint.  I was actually thinking about selling it and getting a
Prius.

I’m sorry, car! 

You were wonderful!  You made me feel like a serious real estate agent – a rich lady!

The District police are actually great at recovering stolen cars.  It’s been less than 24-hours. 

Keep your fingers crossed!

Meanwhile, I’m driving a Hundai!  How embarrassing!

    I know just how you feel because it happened to me about a year ago. ‘Parked in front of my house in beautiful downtown Crofton, MD! Police spotted my car about 20 minutes after I reported it and gave chase, eventually catching one of the thiefs as he took off on foot. Inside my car were their four guns, knives, and trash – but they didn’t have my car long enough to do it any damage.

    Hopefully you’ll have a happy ending to share with us. I’ll be watching for it.
