Wow!!! Can you believe it? We got a phone call from the police on Tuesday evening saying saying they had located our car. It was at an apartment complex just off 4100 South and 300 East. Apparently the theif who stole it from our driveway sold it to a buddy of his for $1500.00. He didn't have a key to give his buddy and when the buddy tried to call back the theif with some questions he had about the car, the theif had already disconnected his phone. The buddy got a little nervous and called the police to say that he might have some stolen property and sure enough...it was our car!
There wasn't much damage to the car at all, just a cut seatbelt on the front passenger side, a low back tire and 1000 extra miles on it.
The policeman asked us if we wanted to help pay for the keys the guy had made for the car because he was out $1500 plus another hundred to have the keys made! Am I the only one who thinks that is a bit over the top???

Umm, no! That would seem a little nuts. Your car is stolen but you have keys to it already and they want you to pay for the new ones! Weird!
I would hand over $50 bucks! I would hope to encourage the guy to listen to that little voice that says.... uh.. something's up here!!
PS - to me it would be worth it not to have to deal with finding a new car, insurance papers, salesmen, run-arounds from agents, etc. etc. etc.
LOL!!! It still cracks me up that the Police Officer was even able to form those words and get them to come out of his mouth.
