Decades ago, a man that worked with my dad had reported his car stolen at Lenox mall...a high-end priced mall in Atlanta. This was around Christmas time when crime rates can tend to rise a little. Three months later, the Atlanta police called to say that his car was still in the parking lot where he left it! Everything was there including his expensive testing equipment and a weapon! Guess he came out a different door than the one he went in.

This is totally me. I once lost my car in a Best Buy parking lot and had to wander up and down ever aisle of the lot to find it. I also always lost it in the parking ramp that I had to use before I got a campus permit. I'm talking once a week here.

And then there was the time when my roommate, who has an extra key to my car, moved it out of a faculty parking lot for me so that I didn't get towed. But she accidentally forgot to tell me that she'd done so, and I thought that I had been towed. I drove all the way down to TowStar... "What do you mean, you didn't pick up a Green Geo Prizm this morning? If you don't have it, then where the hell is it?"

On Kodiak Island, Alaska, stealing a car is a misdemeanour unless the ferry is in port, in which case it becomes grand theft auto, a felony. Kodiak Island is only 30 miles across, and they figure that if you're dumb enough to steal a car when you can't get it off the island, then you really need help, not jail time.
