So, if you have been following along with my blog, you might remember (https://steemit.com/life/@allcapsonezero/a-visit-from-my-old-friend-death) that my super-dope-female companion lost her dad earlier this year. Since then, we have been working really hard on getting her mother's affairs in order. Fixing the house, selling the house, shopping for condo's, buying condo's, downsizing, cleaning blah blah blah.
So, October 31 is the day she is out of the acreage. November 1 she moves into her condo. She is going to sleep on my really comfortable couch right now (she insisted that she not displace us).
One of the things that we have been taking on is selling her second car. Now that there is only her, she really does not need two cars. So, I told her that she can park it by my house and I would advertise it and try to sell it. Sounds easy enough right?
So, this morning my lady wakes me up, asking me where her mom's car is, and if I sold it. I did not. I went for a walk around the block, and sure enough... GONE!
I called some tow truck companies inquiring where it could be. All signs pointed to the Police Seized Vehicle yard. I called them and sure enough, it was there. They stole her car and are charging $262 to get it back. That is double theft.
It turns out that if you leave a vehicle for 3 days in the same place, it is considered an abandoned vehicle and it is their right to take the car away. This is absolutely wrong on so many levels. How many people have parked their car on the street and not left their home for 3 days? Everyone.
It is just more evidence pointing to the obvious that the system is not set up to serve or protect the people. Quite the opposite.
Police and thieves out in the street... oh yaaaa. (and they are both police and thieves at the same time).
