Black 2001 Mercedes SLK 320 Hardtop Convertible - RECOVERED! in San Francisco
Since I can't reblog my own blog, I've copied the 1st blog about my stolen car below...Tonight I got a call from the police telling me my car has been found and it appears driveable. Can you get to 444 Stockton in 20 minutes? YOU BET! So off my partner and I went. GPS led us to the Stockton Street garage, just 2 blocks from Union Square. At first we weren't sure and drove around the block, but then drove in to the garage, found an attendant who said the police were waiting on the 5th floor, section H.
Drove up to the 5th floor and sure enough, found a police car parked in back of our old SLK. All the good loose stuff was missing from the inside, my partner's ipad, ipod, wallet gym bag. But nothing on the car was damaged. The thieves stole it on May 23, and that same day it was parked in the garage. I found out garages check cars every 24 hours but don't report it to the police until 3 or 4 weeks. Signed a bunch of paperwork, got the stolen car alert removed and we were off.
Tomorrow its off to the Mercedes dealership to have it rekeyed. Know anyone who wants to buy a good used hardtop convertible? We've moved on already, don't need to go back......
Black 2001 Mercedes SLK 320 Hardtop Convertible - Stolen in San Francisco
I seem to have writer's block. Ever since my last blog entry BLIND ALLEGIANCE, I can't seem to concentrate on a new entry. You see I mentioned about the stolen car in that last entry and I can't get beyond it without writing another entry about it. My outside blog is titled "My Life as a San Francisco Realtor", so many of my entries continue 'the story'.
I've had that car since 2003, and I always loved driving it. It made for difficult times when I needed to chauffeur clients from place to place. Usually they wanted to drive their own cars, but once in awhile I had to borrow a friend's car. So now it's time to grow up. We just got a Steel Grey 2009 C300. Life goes on and I'll be much more respectable now.
Time for the last RANT, and then I'll be done. I am angry. If the Notes from the Universe have any bearing in truth, the as***le who stole my car will get his someday. The license plate 'TJS88' was lucky for us for 8 years. The car has a small dent in back, a cracked headlight and a number of Buddhist decals on the windows, one in front and one in back. If I ever see it again, believe me, I'll know it.
