My brothers fucking car was just stolen!
He had a Mazda Protégé MP3! There are only 250 of them In Canada!
Here’s the kicker! It was in for repair and it was taken off of the Mazda lot!!! My bro called his insurance company and they will fight it out with Mazda’s insurance…but get this…the dealership said that they didn’t have the keys…YEAH RIGHT!
So to you folks that stole my brother car, FUCK YOU!
I hope you reported this to the police as well. Stolen cars do get recovered, and it can’t be unless your car is in the system. I don’t know how it works in Canada, but in the States, stolen cars are entered nationally – if anyone in the US runs a plate of a stolen car, it comes back flagged.
It’s not uncommon for us to find vehicles stolen from dealer lots in pretty good shape, even! (Often, they will not even know the vehicle is gone.)
It’s been reported…that’s then the dealship said they didn’t have the keys. (Which the cops foud to be unlikely…)
(Sorry for the typo’s…kinda pissed off.)
On a lighter note, my older brother said that she should get my younger bro the movie, “Dude! Where’s My Car?”
LOL!
I’ve actually had this happen to me before, about 15 years ago–took my car in to be repaired, they called me to come get it, and then when I got there (about an hour after the call) they couldn’t find it. So I asked them for the key. They couldn’t find that either. I talked to the owner, who told me somebody must have had a spare key, or else I drove it away myself and was lying so I wouldn’t have to pay for the repair. Right. I told him I was calling a lawyer. The next day, the car turned up at the side of a road–a co-worker of mine saw it, he had no idea it was missing, and came in and asked me, “Bren, what’s your car doing on the side of the highway?” The key was sitting in the ignition.
So now you’re wondering, what kind of fancy car did I have that someone at the repair shop couldn’t keep their hands off? It was a '71 Ford LTD. My very first car, cost me all of $400. I doubt a lawyer would have gotten me very much, and the owner pointed out that the car was more or less scrap anyway, but I told him it was my only transportation, and valuable enough to me. I have no idea if the car was left deliberately, or if it died on the road on the way to the chop shop.
