eve_primeSo, J got home from sword class and took a shower so he could head over to DG’s and help D prep for his big weekend playing in the Magic pro tour. I decided to be helpful and fill the cats’ dry food container, so I went out to the garage, which is carpeted (the previous owners used it as a rec room for their teenage son), and the carpet was wet! The plumber had just cautioned him less than two months ago that the water heater was pretty old and likely to fail soon, and sure enough, it was dripping lots and lots of water. So we were rushing about getting towels to try to sop up as much of the water as possible, and J’s mom called him. Her new car was stolen! Apparently in their neighborhood it’s considered normal to leave one’s purse and keys in the car overnight? But instead of being parked in their driveway, she was parked on the street so the plumber could park closer to the house. Ouch!
Update: Good news about J’s mom’s minivan. It’s been found – the thief was driving it at 107 mph(!!!) in another county, 70 miles away, and she can get it back tomorrow. Her driver’s license was still there, and I hope his dad’s wheelchair is okay too but don’t know yet. Also, she may not have deliberately left the keys and her purse in it, but it’s not clear to me – I think there was some confusion about having to park on the street because the plumber was in their driveway, and she (the plumber) was still there at 9 pm, so I guess she (his mom) didn’t try to put it back in the driveway when she left. Anyway, she’ll get it back.
