One day while moving the cars around for street sweeping, I noticed the hood of my Escort wasn’t closed properly. I immediately thought someone must have stolen the battery. I lifted the hood, nope batteries there. I then checked out the inside; registration and insurance papers there, nothing seems to be missing. Maybe I left it like that after working on it, I figured. I promptly forgot about it.
Cut to three weeks later.
I’m again moving cars around this time because garbage will be picked up the next morning. It’s evening so I turn on the headlights. Nothing happens. I try the high beams, nothing. I pull the car into the garage and turn on the garage lights. I check the fuses, they’re good. So now I open the hood to check the light cables. Ahh here’s the problem… there are no lights attached to the cable. Someone had stolen just the headlights, nothing else. Whoever did it had carefully put the cables back into the receptacle, so I didn’t notice they were missing.
How is that for Mundane? Anyone got a similar story?
