I just looked out my front window.

My car is gone.

Look up and down the street. Did you park it somewhere else yesterday?

First thought: confusion; followed by disbelief. Third was, "Did I park it elsewhere?" and looking up and down the block. Fourth was, "I was pretty migraine-fucked yesterday; did I forget to move it back to my side of the street (away from the tow-during-ruh-hour side) after street-cleaning hours ended?" Then I remembered making an extra pass back and forth over the snow pile to squish it down, and checking to see whether I was close enough to the curb, and went back to staring at the blank spot in disbelief.

Fucking Baltimore!

I really hope it is around, or at least, towed but not stolen. Argh.

Towed. Bad enough, but at least less likely to be wrecked ifwhen I get it back ...

*hug* *sympathy*

Having both been towed for outstanding violations (yeah, I did them damned well :-) and had the vehicle stolen (and knock wood, never again), je grok your panic.

Have you called all of the various numbers for impound lots, sheriff, marshall, whatever? They may have it (is there any reason for them to?) and it may not show in their inventory for 24 hours. At least, that's the party line from the NYPD, who refuse to even take a stolen vehicle report less than 24 hours after the vehicle goes missing.

Good luck retrieving it, karma sent your way.

I didn't think there was any reason for it to be towed (outstanding tickets, yes, but I didn't realize they'd gotten towably stale already), but the police forwarded my call to impound, who found it after first telling me they didn't have it. Argh. $195 tow/impound fee on top of having to clear the outstanding tickets.

Shit! Let us know what happens, okay?

Car located -- towed ... still working on being able to ransom it back (and hoping the impound people don't also write up equipment repair orders for the cracked windshield and cellophane-tape headlamp lens).

Definately keep us updated.

I'm so sorry.

Located: towed; currently attempting to raise funds to ransom it back.

AIEEE!

I hope you just misplaced it! I'm really crossing my fingers that you just forgot where you parked...

Baltimore just sucks, I swear. A friend of mine has had to defend his neighbor from two separate breakins two days in a row...

Heard the latest on stuff like that? Turns out the Baltimore police are under-reporting crimes! Not logging shootings, finding flimsy excuses to change burglary and assault complaints to "unsubstantiated" so they don't count in the crime stats, etc.

Oh geez... it's like the inflated grades kids get because school administrations don't want to admit that the kids might not be learning...

What really killed me with my friend is that his neighbor got the call from the cops (whom he called) before she got the call from her alarm system...
