Stolen cars and stuff.

[charlz_lynn]

Well, you may have caught it on filthy Facebook, but I think I need to process it a little more thoroughly here... My car was stolen tonight. I cannot really believe it, and I've mostly been laughing and laughing about it. Of course it's stressful, but why on Earth would someone steal that car?

I'm the most bummed about these things that were in the car:
Tiny box of doughnuts from Tracy and Jamie for my teeny tiny birthday
'back fat is the new cleavage' button from Gilly
Tuna chalupa heart from marbles
giant sperm that Dawn made for my sperm raiser
work boots
roller skates

Lots of other little things, too... But those are the big ones. Also, most of my favorite CDs. Whatever.
I just keep thinking about how much Millicent was stressing me out. In fact, I've been formulating a post that was a list of things I need to do to the car. It was leaking oil and a big honkin' piece of the exhaust system fell off the other week, and it wouldn't ever pass emissions and my plates we canceled. Unfortunately, since it was a piece of shit, and I trusted that no one would ever steal it, I only have liability insurance. Which means, of course, no coverage for theft or vandalism. So. Hello again, bus.

One really nice thing is that, because of a really sweet thing from someone whose name I won't mention, I have shelves to hang on my walls tomorrow. Thanks for the donation, IKEA fairy! More on that tomorrow, and pictures to come.

Now I'll go to sleep and marvel over the fact that I haven't cried about this yet and may not ever. xo

Ah, shit.
I'm so sorry to hear about this rotten news!

A few years ago I bought Lukas' grandma's car from Lukas and about 6 months later it was stolen from my driveway when I was home. I was sooo frustrated! It wasn't even a nice car - it was a 1997 Plymouth Acclaim! A freakin' k-car!
The good news is it turned up 3 days later, 200 km away from Ottawa in a field. The stereo was gone, and the ignition was stripped but it was otherwise pretty much OK.

I hope yours comes back to you soon, with all the sentimental stuff intact.

oh no! the car! dammit - that sentimental stuff is so the most important. still to this day - I miss the case I kept in my old aspen over 10 years ago that had stickers and mixed tapes in it that are irreplaceable.

sigh.

hopefully this is somehow a turn for the good - like maybe that car was going to have the brakes go on it and your car thief is going to plow into a tree instead of you and Oliver.
