Where's your car?

Well Sunday morning was a beautiful morning, like any other. Larry got up early as usual to water the grass in the back yard, eat breakfast and study. Me, being the lazy pregnant mommy I am, was still in bed getting some rest with the buggy monster. Larry went to open up the blinds to let the morning sun in and in shock he ran back asking "Where's your car?". I don't know if I have ever jumped out of bed so fast! He ran back to the living room and ran back in asking me "where is your car?". All I can think is, where ever you parked it last night. Very puzzled I ran to living room and to my surprise it was gone!!!
Someone had stolen our car Saturday night. In a panic I called the police and rushed to get ready. Larry ran out to his car to find it had been riffled threw. The cop came and got all the info he needed and told us that 14,000 cars were stolen in 2005 and 10,000 were recovered. All we could hope is that we could find our car because we couldn't afforde another one. The cop also told us the owner tends to spot their car long before the cops. Well we quickly got ready and jumped in the Maxima, which I should add was having some car problems (which ended up being a broken coil). we drove around sad and disheartened. My parnets called and brought us lunch and sat and talked with us, helping us with some other options. Well my parents had some things to do and said their goodbyes.
As we sat in defeat so sad, my mom called "I found your car! I found your car! Whooo HOO!!!" I couldn't believe the words she was saying. They found my car 2 blocks away from our house with out a scratch! Some low tires but that is minimal. We went to them and waited for the police and CSI. We were able to take our car home. The bum used 1/2 a tank of gas (my Versa didn't even use a full tank from ABQ to Durgango. 1/2 a tank can last me a while!). I am guessing they went about 50 miles. I am so glad we found our car the same day it was lost! We have had the keys changed and the computer reset.
What a Sunday it was.

Oh my gosh! That is so insane! It makes me wonder if I should get better insurance on our car. There have been several car break-ins at our complex, and the manager recently had her car stolen! Our car was even broken into twice! What's wrong with people!!! I am so glad you got your car back! Yay for you!
