What’s missing from this picture? Look carefully, this is our driveway in the middle of the night:
What’s missing? Here’s the story:
Last night, back pain, tossing and turning watching the clock: midnight, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00. You know how that goes? 3:20 – I hear an engine idling in the driveway. Must be the paper delivery. Wait a minute, the paper guy zooms in, tosses the paper and zooms out. Sounds like a big vehicle in the driveway. I get out of bed and look out the window and what do I see? Our new-to-us since last Thursday little red pickup truck being driven out of the driveway and up the hill.
Called the police, and as we wait for their arrival it hits me. Where is our car that was parked behind the truck? Two cars are missing in that picture above.
Long story short: The car was hiding across the street in the bushes minus its radio. After a visit from the sniff dog and the fingerprint team, we are told that the truck was recovered parked nicely just up the hill, across from another broken into car, but no luck in finding the creeps that did it. They must have spotted me, watching from the window, and fled.
Scary, eh? And da noive of ’em, thinking every car in every driveway is fair game. Eff that.
