This just rocks — my parents van, which was stolen about two weeks ago, will be back in their hands sometime today! Here’s what dad just e-mailed me about it:
I was driving down Muldoon Road yesterday at 4:30 PM and I saw Berta’s car right in front of me. I had my cell phone, so I called the police. They had me follow the car at a distance. When it got “lost” in a housing development, they sent out several cars to search, and the car was recovered about 6 PM. They took it to the station to do forensics (fingerprints, etc.) and we get it back today. It looks perfect on the outside; they did not want me to disturb the inside until the forensics were done.
Very, very cool…most of the time, if you don’t recover a stolen car within 24 hours, you’re not going to recover it. This is a great little turn of events.
So far the day hasn’t been going too badly…on a nice sugar high at the moment from the cake that was brought into the office by my co-workers. Woohoo!
