Walked outside to see a fucker trying to jiggle my door and ran off when I confronted him. Shits worth $300 and has different color doors. Who’s chopping this shit up? They gotta be selling it to developing countries where they’re worth more. I suppose that’s why beat up cars are more valuable than high end ones because it’s more affordable overseas
I never tell this story irl because I can’t give the pigs credit for shit because it quickly devolves into, “Well that’s why they need more live ammunition to shoot at protestors”
But they actually found my old ass stolen car that was taken for a joy ride one night. But the reality is they didn’t actually find it. The cop cars just have a camera that check for license plates and mine popped up and so they told me about it. Seems like we could literally have a whole department who doesn’t need to arrest people or enforce any laws to do a job like that.
Also luckily for me they took it from a shitty part of town to a nicer part.
My car got totalled - couldve been driven but the rear passenger door was fucked - the insurance company sent me a cheque and asked that I give em the keys. I told them I'd leave it with the mechanic and the cheque cleared and that was that.
A year later the police called me about abandoning the car on the side of the road, apparently someone had taken it for a joy ride at some point and I was the last registered number on the VIN. I had to send them all the insurance stuff and the note the mechanic signed saying I left it with him, it was good that I was a hoarder about that stuff and maintained it and kept it accessible that would've been a fucking pain in the ass because I bet the lazy pigs would've just charged me for it.
