Lost and Found

It was a taxing day yesterday. Got a news in the morning that my car has been stolen!!! It is with my sister in Bangalore. She parked it near her office and did not find it there in the evening. She checked with the cops if it had been towed away for some reason but they said no.

Then started the process of going through the fine prints of the insurance policy. The vehicle was covered fully and (but) would have fetched less than half its original price. It is an old car and would not have got a better price anyways. However, we were not planning to sell it off. It has an emotional connect and I do not plan to sell it off ever. We call it a 'Genie', as it takes us wherever we want. I was heartbroken and was also feeling bad for my sister. She was crying on the phone and she was the one who had to run around police stations - never a pleasant experience.

Then came the good news. Someone had seen the car getting towed away. The cops were approached again. And this time they located the car with the traffic cops!!! No message or mark was left as the spot from where the vehicle was picked. And it was not even showing in their records. But its okay. As long as the genie is still with us!!! I think genie did it purposely. I have not seen the car in last ~2.5 years and we keep talking about buying another car when we go back to India. We must have hurt its feelings and it reminded us its value!!!
