California police get a bad rap... I praise them this week

Tuesday morning, my husband did the bonehead move of the year..

He started the car & came back inside because it was cold..

2 minutes later he went out to find a big empty spot where the car had been.

I called the police immediately

Tuesday 6:05 AM

Thursday 6:20 AM, the Long Beach Police Dept called to inform us that they had our car..undamaged.

It was a drag to have to go there to get it & to pay $250 to the impound yard, but it saved us the expense of having to buy a commuter car for the remaining couple of years left to work that he has before retiring:)

It was also a hassle to have to call people all day Tuesday to cancel this & change that, etc. but I am amazed that they found our car so fast..

Honda Accords are stolen a LOT around here, so I thought we'd never see the poor old thing again:)

The best part of the event is that it was HIS "boo-boo" & not mine :evilgrin:

1. Eff the cops--until you need one, LOL! Glad things turned out okay. nt

2. We don't "EFF" the cops in this household

I was stunned that they found it & so fast:)

3. Mine either. Fortunately, I've never had an encounter with Maricopa County SO (knock on wood).

Phoenix cops have been outstanding on the few occasions I've needed tham, though.
