1am - 230am
My Car was stolen from my drive way.

8am
Cops are at my door. I did not answer it because I just woke up and had to pay restitution for a traffic ticket today and thought some paper work got messed up and I got a warrent issued for my arrest.

830am
I go to my door and read a paper stuck in it.
" Your car was found in Cahokia Illinois "

835am
I call Cahokia and they have my car at the impound lot.
All I got from the conversation was that " I think it is drivable sir.".

930am
I could not find the city clerks office for Oakland. They were not answering their phones. I drove around until I found a postman and asked him. " It's in that curch, they only are there 2 times a month." So I go in and there is a church lady and I asked her what the deal was and she confirmed that the city of Oakland only has court twice a month in the curch basement at 6pm. I asked if there was a way to pay my restitution, she called the Clerk at home and she said I could leave it with her in a labled envelope.

1030am
I get to the Cahokia PD and they give me a ticket to go to the impound yard where my car is and the detective is going through my car for prints.
I go to the yard and in the front office this pile of a woman tells me it will be $175 to get my car. I polietly flipped out.

I said "WOW, that is a great scam you got going on here ! You get young black kids to steal cars and then dump them here and then you get $175 for impounding them." "You guys must be loaded."

She said "Do you want to pay the bills here ? We have alot of bills."

I said "Why ? You get all the auto theft tows and you rape the people to get their cars back, you have no product to sell and offer a crap service, I bet you rake it in hand over fist."

She said Give me your liscence, it's $175. So she took my CC and liscence and made a copy and ran the card. Well she only ran the card for $75!!! She forgot the hit the 1 button. So I lucked out there. The invoice for the tow says $175, but my CC reciept says $75 as does my online statement.

PART TWO - The Detective,
 
11:30 am
The detective says " A citizen called the cops because they saw people in your car slouched over in their subdivision. {the subdivision was directly across the street from the salvage yard in visible sight}.

"A officer knocked on the window where he saw 4 black males asleep in the car and then noticed the steering column broke"

"When they awoke they started the car and drove away and ran into a curb and almost hit a house. Then they bailed out of the car and ran. When they took off a CITIZEN tackled one of the men and held him down for the cops."

THE COPS DID NOT CHASE THEM !!!
I could not believe that.

Well they got one guy he was born in 1985 and lives in St. Louis somewhere. He said he was drunk so they are waiting 48 hours to sober him up so his confession is viable in court.

They boke out one window, broke the column, drove on $35 of gas and deflated one tire. I have to start my car with a screw driver.

12pm
I get to work. Normal day there.

745pm
I am on the phone with my mom and she hears THUD THUD CRASH CRASH CRASH !!!
Our back yard is Highway 44, there is an accident on WEST bound 44 with multiple cars. She hangs up with me and goes down our yard to see what was going on.

810pm
I am on 44 EAST just past ELM Traffic screeches to absolute gridlock.

I called my mom and she said when she got to the end of the yard she said there was a man from a car on WEST bound 44 in the EAST bound lane being ran over by the passing cars !!!
She said she saw hime get hit 12 times then she turned away.
There were people on the highway trying to stop the cars from hitting him more.

After that she forgot to call me back so I am in gridlock.

9pm
1 hour on the highway of not moving 1 inch we move about 40ft.
My deflated tire is completely flat, so in the middle of the highway I put my donut on.

10pm
We start moving and my donut goes flat so I decide just to drive home. The highway is closed and everryone has to get off at Leclede.

1010pm
I Finally get home after sittign on the highway for 2 hours.

You got off cheap some kids stole a car from my house and the impound yard charged me 325.00 to get it back it was only there for a few days but not accessable because the police would not release it until there investigation was complete,so I paid for the storeage while they investigated the crime to no avail.
 
That is so assinine... How in the world can they expect someone to pay for having their car stolen?

Steve, I feel for you dude... Wish I had hit the powerball, I'd buy you a new car.
