What a Monday!
So, I wake up all bad moody today. I was in a foul humor. I SO didn't want to go to work.
Then
about 10:00 am, I get this call from my apt. manager asking me if I
have a white Toyota Camry with a club on the steering wheel. I said yes
and she said someone tried to break into it. She gave the police my
number, Officer Jones called me and told me the story and said that if
I could not come home so they could sign it over to me, they would have
to tow it! It was friggin 4 feet out of the parking stall!
Anyway...apparently
this brilliant guy decided to try and drive it with the club like
device I had attached, the car stalled, maintenance noticed and knowing
it was not his car, came up to the guy who is in my car and asks him if
he was going to take off the club...
Now get this: The dude said he thought when he turned the car on, the club would disengage!
Maintenance
told him that before they could push the car back into the parking
space, they would have to call Metro...he got all nervous and
eventually up and left....quickly.
Metro came, they caught a
black guy whom they think had nothing to do with the physical attempt
on the car, but was prolly in cahoots with the white guy in my car.
Now,
I was tied to my desk as my boss is out of town...but when they said
they were going to tow it...I made sure that I got there in five
minutes. I filled out what seems like reams of paper work, check the
car out and aside from damaging the alarm, he screwed up my steering
wheel by trying to drive the car with the club on it. *Shakes head at
the sheer stupidity*
The maintenance guys got a good look at
the dude and were able to give descriptions. They were so cool....They
helped me start the car and pull it back into the stall. I need to make
them some goodies as a thank you!
Anyway, that was the
majority of my day. I am so thankful I still have my car and that it
still seems to be working. I am grateful as well to my apt. manager and
the maintenance guys. It turned out to be a good day after all.
