So this morning I’m out walking my dog before I head off to work, chatting with my neighbor about the NCAA games at the Meadowlands the night before when I noticed that my car was missing from our driveway!

WTF!!!! It’s gone! Stolen while we slept during the night!

Called the police, insurance company, etc… Ugh! Frustrating!

However, if you happen to be in vicinity of West Orange, NJ and see a silver 2000 Volkswagen Passat with a black Thule roof rack, let me know, because apparently the driver “borrowed” it sometime early this morning without my consent.

Update:
My car was recovered early Saturday morning. It was abandoned after the thieves slammed the right rear end of the car into a curb snapping the rim off the axel. Luckily for them, the car has side-impact air bags, which deployed to cushion their thieving little heads. Oh and to show their appreciation, they punctured holes in the leather seats and roof with a screw driver (Thanks).

Bastards!

    I think what pisses my off the most is that there were popsicle sticks and candy wrappers in the car when it was found. Popsicle sticks! I would have expected cigarette butts or maybe beer cans, but popsicle sticks? Punk kids.
