Car got stolen about 20min ago.I'm actually of two minds about this. (I don't own the car, it's technically my fathers, I share it with my bro and sis while I'm in school). On one hand, I'm really pissed that it was stolen. On the other, I'm kinda relieved in a way. It was set to be replaced (1995 Dodge Neon) and was kind of falling apart anyway. (The front struts were just replaced). We actually had a pool going on what would fail next. Unfortunately, none of us had theft in the pool. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

That's what I said! Not misplaced though, my sister had JUST come back from a hockey game. She'd been home for about 15min, and was just going to bed when she heard the car start up.Apparently though, that particular year is one of the easiest cars to steal. I'm betting that it's a couple of idiots on a joyride. I couldn't see anyone actually wanting to strip it and crate it. Not when there's a 2005 Durango next door, a Range Rover up the street a much nicer/newer PT Cruiser across the street, a couple of nice Honda Accords (new models), an MR2, a Mazda 3. . . in short, a bunch of much nicer cars for the taking.

lol!My dad seems to think that someone at the shop where it was last serviced is marking cars. To which I responded. . . "11yr old Neon?" So many choice vehicles on this street, why this one. Probably cause the douche can't drive stick and so couldn't take the neighbour's Pontiac Firefly. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

They found it.40min away in Port Moody (if you know Vancouver/BC that will make some sense to you). The brakes were smoking when it was located, and of course the ignition has been ripped out, but otherwise it's completely intact. (Lucky too, an eyewitness says the guy was trying to cross the median strip, and stopped just short of it instead). -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Ecks, we're depressed that we're getting it back, it's not quite a complete POS yet, but it's close. The car is literally worth more dead than alive.The perp was apparently hepped up on goofballs (he got away, but probably has priors). -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

The provincial government is trying like hell to make safe injection sites go away. Same with the pot.
