   Today is another eventful Sunday. A tow truck driver found my husband's stolen car, and called me just before 8 this morning.

   The car was found by the side of the highway and is totalled. Missing wheel, broken axles, air bags deployed. He took pictures for us and gave us the location.

     So the car was stolen by tow truck, license plates swapped, any identifying stickers gone, GPS wires cut, and was driven around for a week until it was crashed. I guess they intended to keep until they wrecked it, but left the VIN as is, which is how we got the call.

     Seems like a total loss. 😕

     My husband and our friend went out to deal with the car. Finally managed to contact someone with our insurance (as our current claims agent doesn't work Sundays).

     A report that the car was found has to be filed at the police station, as no one could be bothered to come out to the location.

     @silver_huskey Sorry again about Ty's car. Awful stuff, even if you guys did find it in the end.

     @Dio_Senrab Thanks. At least we got closure. And from the eye witnesses to the accident, the guy who stole and drove it and crashed it is going to be in pain for a while. The car did every but roll over.

     The story gets wilder after the car had been recovered. Best way to describe it is that it was stolen by a professional joyrider. Witnesses say last night he side swiped a truck, the truck chased him, and he lost control while speeding. The car spun out, and pieces broke off when it hit the dirt.

     @Dr_Ubertrout That's a pretty apt way to describe it. It's dumb and pretty baffling, but I guess some people aren't particularly bright or careful.

     That is worse than someone stealing it for parts. That's just drawn out vandalism.

     @silver_huskey@fandom.ink This is insane. :neofox_shocked: Hopefully the thief at least walked away with some serious bruises...

     @minneyar Very much so! I'm pretty sure he did. The car all but rolled over.

     @enchantedsleeper Yeah. Heck of a thing to be waken up to on a Sunday morning. I'm glad this asshole didn't injure anyone else.

     Some closure regarding this. The insurance has deemed the car a total loss. It will be sent to the junkyard, parted out, and the bank loan will be paid off. Only hoping that our insurance premiums don't go up after this wild incident.

     Update on the car situation. Regular insurance will pay off the bulk of the car, as it has been deemed a total loss. Getting the gap insurance settled looks like it's going to be a fight. The company has a bunch of barriers in place making it really difficult to file a claim.
