Yesterday was April Fools. I got to work at 715am like normal, parked in the normal place and did my normal job. Walked outside at 4:45 and no truck. Called the wife just to check...nope, no joke. Called the police and filed the report. They asked if it was a joke. Talked to the insurance company (I work for them) and made the report. They asked if it was a joke. LOML came an picked me up, she asked if it was a joke. At 1am (yes, 1AM) the police department for Farmer's Branch called to say that Dallas PD had found the truck and was towing it in. No idea where it was found or what the damage was. I'm awake now, called Dallas-nope, not in the impound yet, call back later. Now I can't go back to sleep. Called back at 6, on hold for 45 minutes and gave up. Ten am and the impound person tells me is is listed as no damage....(sure)
One long interview and a 4 page notarized document later the repair folks call to say they have the truck. They say no tires, no rims, steering column is damaged. I will go see it tomorrow.
Building security watches the video and sees the thief pull into a space 2 down from my truck, get out, go straight to the truck and slim jim the door and drive off. Looks like they did their homework. Total time to drive in and out....less than 45 seconds. Everyone who knows about it says "I am so sorry." and then kind of laughs or smiles. Even the police. What are you going to do? I would probably smile too if someone told me their vehicle got stolen on April Fools day.
Could be worse, it was not burned. Thanks for listening.
