Not a way to start your day with a smile

So I walked out of my house this morning and my car wasn't there. A couple quick calls revealed that it wasn't towed by the City of Somerville, but the helpful lady saw that the plates had been run by Boston early this morning, because it had been towed... in Dorchester. Ergo, my car has been stolen.

(Which is annoying because my car is a standard, and a beat-up old 11yo Civic, so if you're going to grab a car, you would think it would be a better one, no?)

Now I have to get on the phone and start things up with the insurance company and find out what shape the car is actually in, and so on. Aaaargh.

well, shit.

I hope it's okay.

The 11yo car is probably easier to steal than a newer one, and since it was abandoned, it was probably just a joyrider.

I gotta say, that's quick work by the Dorchester towing crew.

OMG! I am glad to hear that it was found already. The asshats that stole my Civic drove it around for a couple of weeks and trashed the interior totally. The whole thing is a huge pain in the ass, I know, you have my total sympathy and understanding.

Oh crap! I hope it's not damaged, and that the attendant rigamarole for reclaiming it is minimal.
