You are not going to believe this one.
As some of you know, I live in a very quiet, suburban neighborhood in Montgomery County, Maryland. We all look after one another, and when something out of the ordinary happens in the neighborhood, we all tend to know it.
So . . .
About three weeks ago, a brand-spanking new Mustang shows up in the neighborhood. A silver Mustang. A silver convertible Mustang. A silver, convertible COBRA Mustang.
Kind of noticeable, no?
Not to mention that the car had Virginia registration and inspection stickers and a Maryland license plate (but only a rear plate, not a front plate as required).
The young man -- who lives a block away and has a certain reputation in the neighborhood -- parks it alongside my house. Then alongside someone else's house. Then someone else's house. Then up the street. A different place every time.
Hmmm. How odd, I think.
And then . . .
Last Wednesday (2/18) evening the car was parked alongside my house again. At about 11:00 P.M. there is a commotion. Lots of police cars and a big tow truck. Lots of noise. Then silence.
How odd, I think again.
Next morning, the car is gone.
Curiousity having gotten the better of me, I finally contact the police to find out what had happened and this is the answer I received:
"This was a stolen vehicle and officers waited for the driver to get into the vehicle before “recovering” it, so that an arrest could be made. The driver is someone from the Kensington area who was taken into custody. The vehicle was stolen from a dealership in Virginia. Hope this helps."
Ahem.
The "perp" is not known for being too bright, and from time to time demonstrates why cousins should not marry by doing such things as driving a stolen car of a type that screams, "HEY! LOOK AT ME! I'M DRIVING A RARE CAR THAT FITS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OF ONE RECENTLY STOLEN FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP! AND IT HAS A GPS SYSTEM IN IT! AND NEVER MIND THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE A FRONT PLATE, EITHER! (By the way, how do you spell 'GPS'? And why are those guys in the black Crown Vic with the tinted windows and government plates sitting outside my house looking at me?)"
He'll be back in several years.
