For nearly a month, my friend drove a rental car. He parked outside many times because the hassle of getting out, pulling open the garage door, driving in, pulling it down . . . well, it was a pain in the neck. He got used to his new phone, and frankly, his wife much preferred the color of the rental car.
One day last week, the insurance company called to settle the account. They assumed the car was trashed, and since it had not be located, they told my friend the check would be put in the mail.
THE VERY NEXT DAY, the police in Arkansas City called. They had found his car.
"Did you have meth needles in the back of the car?" the policeman asked.
"Well, no, I didn't," he replied.
Turns out the man who was driving the car was arrested for some other reason, but the car was found in the arrest. He had removed the license plate, but when they checked the vehicle identification number, voila - they discovered it was a stolen car.
Although my friend has not seen the car, he was told it not only had meth needles in the back, a generator was also stored there. Apparently his car was being used as a mobile meth lab. The wrecker driver said it smelled really bad inside, either due to bad gas in the generator or the meth that was being manufactured.
So what happened to the over $5000 in tools that were in the car? Where is the phone? The garage door opener? The answer to a few of those questions tomorrow.
