Dude, Where's My Car?

November 10th, 2005 by Funky Dung

Please pray for the miscreant that broke into and stole our car last night that he/she might turn from his/her criminal ways. Pray also that we can acquire another vehicle soon.

My wife has been working on-call hours as a lab technician for a drug study. She was called in yesterday to work. She parked the car on Bayard between Tennyson and Ruskin. As often as needed, she came out to feed the meter. After 6PM, though, that was no longer a problem. When she was done workat around 2AM, all she wanted to do was go home and sleep. She walked to where the car was parked and found only broken glass. Thankfully, she was able to get a ride home from a generous security guard at the hospital (who deserves prayers on his behalf for whatever his needs and intentions are).

This sucks. It's taken the wind out my sails, so I might be delayed in posted about Blogfest 4 (which was fun, by the way).

Update 11/18/05: We have the car back. Remind me to tell you folks the odd and amusing of what happened to it while it was gone.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you should post a pic of the car and the plate number so we can all keep an eye out.

I used to know the dumping grounds in the City for stolen cars. I suspect they've changed.

I don't think your car sounds like one that would wind up in a chop shop. I could be wrong….

Sorry to hear that.

Oh that's awful. I hope your insurance covers it and that you can get a new vehicle soon!

Sorry, about the car. It's no real comfort, but I'm glad that only the car was lost.

I want to be mad at the perpetrator, but I keep telling myself to give him benefit of the doubt. I pray that he really needed our car and if he didn't that his conscience will bug the hell out of him.

Dude, that blows hardcore. If there's anything else I can do, lemme know. I don't have a car or anything, but if you think of something, I'd be happy to help out…

I thought about writing a post the next day, but having my wife wake me up at 3AM to tell me that our car was stolen didn't exactly put me in a blogging mood. [...]
