It's no new news that the day we got back from our honeymoon we realized my car was stolen. It had been parked right in front of our new condo. There is no way to really explain the feeling of total violation. For the last 4 weeks we have been borrowing Blake's uncle's car. We had been talking all week about returning the car today so we don't abuse a favor. Our plan was to just make due with one car, I was going to drive Blake to work and he would get a ride home. Even though this plan would work, it was going to be a huge inconvenience. We were optimistic though. We were determined to hold true to our promises to not go into debt and a stolen car wasn't going to jeopardize that. So yesterday morning at 12AM I got a call from the Auburn police department. THEY FOUND MY CAR!!! They asked us to come pick it up and gave us directions. My car was found literally half a mile from our place. It had been abandoned at a townhouse complex. It had a note probably written by a tenant that said "Please don't park here, this is a reserved space." It had probably been sitting there for a few weeks and they just called it in. Nothing was wrong with it, besides the point it smells like someone got really sick in it (I am having it cleaned and detailed next week...YUK). It even still had half a tank of gas in it. My mom's theory is that the really did only drive it half a mile and they probably saw a better steal and swapped cars. No biggie, I call it the advantage of having an old car... no one wants it! When we got back home and went back to bed we were almost afraid to go back to sleep. We were worried we would wake up and realize it was only a dream. We were lucky, it really was back. Smelly and with a brand new bright red club, I am truly fortunate to have it back.
